Save My Boobs Please

Holy shit they hurt. Like agonizing, stinging, just existing on my body is painful kind of hurt. I took an extra strength Tylenol about an hour ago to no avail. How do I make them tolerable so I can sleep tonight?

I have no advice beyond Tylenol, but I just wanted to say that I'm sorry you're in pain!

That's okay. The internet is suggesting I need a bigger bra, but I'm not even wearing one right now. I'll just take a benadryl, that'll put me out regardless of how my boobs feel.

When I was dealing with sore boobs during first trimester, I found that sleeping with a sports bra helped somewhat. The more they moved around, the more they hurt, so having them stabilized on my chest helped to minimize the pain.

Squishing them doesn't make it worse?

I was also a fan of the sports bra. I was wearing them pretty much 24 hours a day for a while. My boob soreness didn't get really bad until 8wks or so though. So I'm just waiting now...

It didn't make things worse for me, but everyone's body is different! I think it just depends on how your boobs are hurting. Mine were painful because they were growing rapidly (I went up 2-3 cup sizes between weeks 4 and 8), so even though they were squished, at least the pain from them getting heavier was relieved.

I completely agree here!  My chest grew 6 inches in 3 weeks and holy hannah, they were SO sore.  A sports bra (or really good no-underwire bra) was the solution for me - my pain from the heaviness/hanging was way worse than the smoosh pain.

FWIW - my boob pain went away around 10 weeks and I haven't had too many issues with them since!

And, agreed, after first tri it got better, but they were always sensitive to jostling (like in the car).
