I have what lookes like broken caplaries on my breasts. Is that normal? Do you think it could be from my bra?

Jordy,
Broken capillaries occur when tiny capillaries have been stretched so often by the pressure from larger veins that they have become permanently dilated. The abnormal dilation weakens the capillary walls causing them to rupture easily. When the wall ruptures, blood seeps out and flows down along the pathway made by surrounding capillaries. When the blood dries the result is a web like bruise we know as broken capillaries.
It COULD be caused from a too-tight bra but I would recommend you contact your OB\primary care if you have any additional worries!

Yes, it could be related to the bra such as if it's on too tightly. I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.
