I totally sympathise, my son is nine weeks old and while I was pregnant my breasts were really hot and uncomfortable, I was told by the midwife to put savoy cabbage leaves in my bra for no more than an hour at a time and it really helped, also a support bra for sleeping, made a big difference, hope you find some comfort soon!

The hormones in your body are stimulating the breast tissue to grow so they can produce milk. There is no medical treatment other than tylenol. If you use cold packs, it might stop your symptoms, but then it would shut down milk production.
If you don't plan on breast feeding, consider the cold packs.

sounds like the milk is on its way!
sounds crazy but cabbage leaves worked wonders. Buy one of the leafy green cabbages stick it in the fridge and when required pop a leaf in bra. It draws away the heat from you breast to the leaf REALLY! its also wonderful when/if you breast feed.

Some women just get sore boobs during pregnancy, i don't think there is much the doc can do. Good luck with the new baby.

Larger, tender breasts are normal. But very hot breasts sounds could be an infection. If they are hot, sore, hard and inflammed you should definitely call your midwife.

usually by now your breasts are enlarged and it is a normal sensation,because all the hormones changes in your body.
cold clothes while you take a rest would help.

this worked for me, buy a savoy cabbage, put it in the fridge until its chilled and then put a couple of the leaves in your bra i swear it works!
