A member asked:
My breasts have enlarged folicles and slight redness, both at the bottom inner area with a little thickened skin. i am 15 weeks pregnant. is this normal?

Breast pain ?'s: The hormones of pregnancy cause normal breast tissue to enlarge, causing friction on supporting garments (bra). The friction can cause redness and skin thickening. See your OB physician for an exam, and he/she may recommend a larger size bra to support your breasts.
