Raised, swollen veins on bbs
| Mon, 06-11-2007 - 11:12pm |
It is 11pm here, and as exhausted as I am, I can't sleep because I am so uncomfortable. I have 40 DD's, and now they are so huge and swollen and sore, that I can't get comfortable in bed. Before I went to bed I noticed that the veins on the top of my bbs were actually raised up under the skin....if I run my hands over them I can feel raised ridges all over my bbs. They are very very sore, and the veins only popped up today, this morning they weren't like that (Yes, I check frequently!) I don't have a sports bra to sleep in, I am going to buy one


This is going to sound really crazy but I know for a fact that this works for engorged breastfeeding boobs and I think it could work for swollen pregnant breasts....cabbage leaves. Yes, raw cabbage leaves. Held on to the breast for about a half hour or so. I know, it sounds crazy but it's true! At least I know it's true for engorgement problems when your milk comes in post partum. If you Google it, I'm sure you'll come up with tons of articles to support this. I know La Leche League even suggests this to help with swollen breasts.
I'm sorry your boobies hurt!!! I hope you find relief soon!

Yep, try the cabbage leaves.
They also sell gel-filled breast-shaped pads that you can either chill or warm - supposed to help with engorgement and/or letdown, but maybe they'd help with soreness now, too.
