Breasts are a funny thing. Well, not really, but we don't know much about how they function, even though as women, we ought to know. Even the human anatomy that we studied in school, showed only how a male body looked.

Over 10 years ago, when still in my 20s, when my breasts felt heavy I panicked and met a gynaecologist, who revealed that it's natural ahead of periods, for the breasts to feel heavy. She added that mine was "lumpy", but nothing to fear.
