A member asked:

What is the cause of a swollen breast gland in the third trimester of pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unclear question: Breasts normally get larger in pregnancy. It is the result of hormones trying to get the breasts ready for feeding the baby. Wish you good health and a healthy baby!
