Specializes in Pediatrics

They R getting ready: The changes you describe in your breasts would be considered normal, given the expected DOL. Some thickening in breast may be fibrous tissue or adenomas , also normal findings in a lot of women. You should plan to breast feed this baby, which helps to alleviate some of these issues in time. Good luck and congratulations!
