Breast changes in pregnancy besides soreness are usually seen by the second trimester when glands are maturing and other changes take place. If you have a concern about how they feel, ask your OB to check them for you to make sure this is normal change
Yes. They usually feel fuller.

They get larger and the glands enlarge preparing for breast feeding.
In direct answer, yes it does . Physiologic changes involving a surge of estrogen and progesterone release causes the breast to incease in breast tissue production as a normal preparation for lactaion after delivery.
