Sore boobs - wear a sports bra to bed?

Question

Hello everyone,
This might be a silly question (total pregnancy newbie here!), but I can’t find an answer to this online: my boobs are so sore, they increased by more than a cup size in less than five days! Does it make sense for me to always wear a bra - including at night - to ease the pain? Or will my muscles never get stronger to support my new huge boobs that way?

Answer

So my boobs are ridiculous right now and they hurt constantly, especially in the morning. If I sleep with a bra, it does help the pain a little in the morning... but there is just something about ripping that bra off right before bed haha!!

Answer

Do what you need to do to ease your discomfort.

Answer

Thanks so much for all he comments! I slept in a sports bra tonight and it was soooo much better! Even my pregnancy-induced insomnia wasn’t so bad!☺️
And thank you for the tip on the sleep bra, I’d never heard of it but will definitely get one!

Answer

I was in such pain and have now especially tender nipples, that I decided to get a wire free sleep bra on Amazon for about $15. It’s very thin/breathable fabric but just enough elastic to hold my ladies in place and keep my nipples from touching anything else. I am totally a rip your bra off the moment you get home kind of lady, but this new pregnancy pain and tenderness was not allowing me to do that comfortably anymore. I would highly recommend a sleep bra!! I think it will also work well as a nursing bra if I don’t get too much bigger.  Good luck!

Answer

I hear wearing a cotton, breathable sports bra to bed will ease the pain of pregnancy breast. I haven’t tried it though, because I’d rather be sore than have to wear a bra lol

Answer

do whatever you need for it to feel better. I haven't worn a proper bra since 6 weeks. But sleep naked. because that's what is comfortable for me

Answer

I would always wear a loose fitting sports bra or just a spaghetti strap tank. Kept them kind of in place so they weren’t more sore from moving all around.
