Hard breasts towards end of pregnancy

Hi I’m a 2nd time mom here! I’m only at 35 weeks right now but my breasts are so hard. Reminds me of my breasts at around 3 days postpartum when the milk starts to buildup to become engorged. Any idea what I should do? I’m afraid of trying to hand express because I’m at high risk of pre-term labour in the next week or 2. 😅

I had this too around 35 weeks, mums. My OB said it can happen as the breasts prepare for breastfeeding. Since you’re at high risk of preterm labour, I’d check with your OB before trying to hand express. A supportive bra and cold compress helped with the discomfort 😊
