My breasts have grown from a c to a d and are now resting on my large belly. It is almost like I am getting fat kid rub (like when your thighs rub together and irritate each other). I hope I do not offend anyone, that is the term I have always used! What can I do? Doc looked at it and said to take some benadryl. It does not look like there is a rash, but my bra irritates it so much and as my husband told me last night, I need to wear a bra!
:hug: I got that when I was pregnant and it was painful! <_< I used benadryl and it was the only thing I could find that eased the uncomfort for me. :hug: Good luck!
What about wearing like a sports bra instead of a traditional bra? I did this when I was pregnant and it helped a lot! Good luck!!
Bless your heart, I agree with Krystn, however try a cotton sports bra or even non-wire nursing bra. Just make sure it's all cotton. Baby powder to lessen some of the moisture may work, I was a semi-big girl at one time so I understand your pain. And if you dont always feel like wearing a bra, then by all means dont. I wore them all the time early in my pregnancy and now I use them more for weapons than for undergarments, not as quick as I used to be. I dont always want wear a bra, so I wear my DH's big shirts around the house, one that I can tuck under the girls so they arent rubbing against my skin (sorry for the TMI) but Im a believer in any little bit helps. Hope it gets better..
I switched to a sports bra today and it has helped. Thanks for all of the suggestions. I do the same things with my husbands undershirts once I get home from work! I have been hesitant to buy nursing bras because I think I will probably be even bigger at that point. All of my maternity tops that bunch under my chest are useless now. The bunching irritates my skin so much!
