hi janeyh mine are soft when i touch then and push them together,but still hard at the top if that makes sense,and its weird,when i push them together a can feel them but they are still numb,weird when you scratch,my left boob ive had no problems with at all apart from the weird feeling you get when they are settleing but i still get pain in the left one like a dull ache,im just 5 months,balconette bras do push them up but not together,all long did yours feel numb,and did you have pain not all the time but some days at 5 months,not pain but a dull ache,just noticed today if i jump up and down they bounce a little bit xxx
