If your palms hurt a bit also, you may need to move the saddle closer to the handle bars, or the bars closer to the saddle. You could be leaning over and reaching too far to reach the bars. If you have to reach too far, much of your weight is put on your hands. Your crotch will also make more contact with the seat, instead of your seat bones taking your weight.
