What Could Cause Breast Tenderness?
I am 23 weeks pregnant. The last several days under my boobs have been very tender. My bras have been fitting much more snuggly now so I thought maybe the underwire or elastic had rubbed my skin raw. There's no noticable mark on my skin but it is very tender and hurts to have anything touching it. I went out and bought maternity bras today but they are still really irritating the area under my boobs. I am scheduled to go on vacation in a few days and don't want to be miserable because I am constantly tugging at my bra to stop hurting me. Is there anything I can do to fix the pain and make my increasing breasts during pregnancy more bearable?

Hello, it is very common.
Wear a tight bra and don't empty the breasts of the milk or it will only increase
