Mammary glands are the only glands that do not mature during puberty. Instead, they mature during pregnancy. This growth and development of the glands can cause the surrounding area to be sensitive to the touch, or sore. This is normal.
Some Women Have Tried...
-
Stand in the shower and let the warm water massage your breasts.
-
Be sure to wear a bra with good support, and have the fit checked as your breasts may have grown.
-
Avoid the breasts during intimacy, they will only be sensitive for a few weeks.
-
Try wearing a bra at night, the extra support may feel better.
