It is perfectly normal for one large to be larger than the other. My lactation consultant called it "dessert", one breast will produce more milk than the other too!

The milk doesn't actually come in until baby is born & mostly comes through once baby starts feeding. Your breast is just getting ready, sometimes one can be more sore than the other or bigger. The other will, I'm sure, catch up. The fact that they are not sore is a good sign that everything is fine.

I know what you mean.  It isn't the milk coming in, just your boobs getting ready.  They go through a clean out in the last few weeks of pregnancy, though mine having been doing this on and off for the last 26 weeks! lol.

It is normal for one breast to be bigger than the other, they are normally.  The side that is bigger will be the better producer.

Have you noticed that you could fry an egg on them? lol.  Mine feel as though they are going to burn my clothes sometimes!

Gently massage them under the shower, helps to keep everything clear and reduces the risk of complications later on.
