won't make me blush. my day job is a mammographer and x-ray technologist. your bra may be hitting about your 5th thoracic vertebra, your middle/upper middle back area. it is very possible that the increasing size of your breasts are pulling on those muscles in that area differently then pre-pregnancy and pulling the area out of allignment. go to a quality department store and ask one of the motherly type sales clerks in lingerie for a bra fitting. most stores will do it free, you may need a new bra for the duration of the pregnancy. this is really common. my favorite coworker who does ultrasound and mammography gets asked this at least once a month. you can also call the lactation consultant at the hospital where you are planning on delievering and asking her for more advice. hope this helps.
5th thoracic vertebra...that's what was misaligned according to the chiropracter. I knew it was 5th something.
