I am 24 weeks and in the last few days my boobs have become very sore and heavy and the nipples are glistening with a clear liquid. Any remedies for making them less sore that don't involve the boiled cabbage leave thing I have heard about?

If you were to boil the cabbage it would take away the properties that make them good for such things anyway.

ah, I must have wrong end of stick. What is the cabbage leave thing just in case I get desperate?!

Stick a whole green outside leaf into freezer for half hour, insert into bra.

Works best if you switch between doing that and showering in warm water.

I would say if it is hurting that much at the moment that you feel you need to do something to stop it, I would actually get yourself to a doctor.
