Breast tenderness is a very common discomfort that comes along with pregnancy. The good news is that there are some comfort measures and lifestyle changes you can make to help ease the pain.
Wear a bra that provides good support for your breasts. If you do not wear a bra your breast tenderness can worsen.
Rest with a heating pad over your breasts. Some women prefer ice pads so make sure you've tested both.
Relax on your back and take deep breaths. Visualize your pain going away.
Stop eating salt. Salt can make breast tenderness worse by leading to water-retention.
Drink plenty of water to flush out excess fluids from your body.
