What relieves breast tenderness during pregnancy?
The good news is the soreness will likely ease up as your pregnancy progresses, but in the meantime there's not all that much you can do about sore breasts in*early pregnancy. Luckily, there are a few*tricks of the mom-to-be trade that can help ease your discomfort.
Wear a more supportive bra.*You might be hesitant to pack away all your lacey underwear, but those skimpy bras probably aren't helping your situation. Giving your breasts the support they need will most likely feel better.*Patrick Duff, M.D., an ob-gyn at the University of Florida, Gainesville, recommends getting properly fitted for a more supportive bra.*"A full-coverage bra will be more supportive, by lifting up the breasts and taking pressure off the area." Or, you may find that wearing a larger-size bra or sports bra helps.*If you find it painful to go braless even at night, wearing a comfortable sleep bra to bed may bring you more peaceful slumbers.Create a "no touch" zone.*Your full breasts are going to be really attractive to your partner, but touching and adding pressure will only make matters worse. Treat your pregnancy breasts with care until soreness eases up.Opt for loose-fitting clothes.*As your breasts expand during pregnancy, clingy tops might become more constricting than cuteand inside seams could aggravate sensitive breasts. Stick with flowy clothing that won't rub or irritate.Try a cold compress.*Lay a towel over your chest and apply an ice pack to the area (a frozen bag of peas also works well!).*Take warm showers.*Not everyone responds to cold therapy, so if you don't find relief from an ice pack, try spending some time in a steamy shower. "The heat could help relax surrounding muscles and ease tension," says Duff.Doctor-approved pain relief.*If the pain is really getting to you, ask your doctor if you can take Tylenol.
Found this on the web hope something works for you.

Ive been suffering with this since day one 😩 At 24 weeks Im STILL suffering with extremely sore nipples.
At the moment using breast pads are an amazing help, they cushion them somewhat to help the friction. I hope you find something that works!

Has anyone noticed that their breasts are also ...hot?
Like mine are incredibly achy, but also very warm to the touch.
