Totally normal. As excruciating as it can be. Your breasts are preparing for colostrum and milk so your mammary glands are growing and probably swollen. My nipples feel like someone is holding a lit match to them most of the time especially when they harden. Theres not much you can do but light massage, maybe a warm shower.
Thank you :) this has been driving me nuts.
Are you planning on breast feeding?
Mine are also and they are always erected. It was a real pain in the a** the first few months cause it was extremely painful. I'm 35 weeks now & still the same but the pain isn't half as bad
Yes i am planning on breast feeding. It will be a first time for me so I'm really nervous about it.
