My nipples are on fire!

[justhayley]

Help I'm 28 + 4 weeks and my nipples are sooo itchy they are stinging & feel like they have been set on fire (not that I know quite how that feels but I reckon it would be similar) anyone else getting this?

I've had that for a week or so (26 weeks today) and 3 days ago (TMI alert!) they started ... oozing. I think it might be related so you've got that to look forward to!

Oh I had that towards the end of my pregnancy too. It was most unpleasant!

Yup, I'm the same. 28 + 5 , and my nipples are really bothering me. Just smothered them in e45 cream and put breast pads in my bra cos they're nice and soft. Seems to be helping.

Ive had this for a while, and mine have started oozing as well, hideous business, I got some nipple cream from boots in the end, far far to lazy to get out of bed and check so please forgive me but fairly sure it was Aventis - its really thick stuff and dead hard to get out of the tube but works a miracle when I put it on takes the itch and burn away almost immediately

Lol glad I'm not the only one! mine havnt started oozing yet but I'm sure it won't be long - oh the joys lol

I'm 27 weeks tomorrow and have woken up with really itchy nipples too. When you say oozing, do you mean milk? Can't wait!!

Happened to me at about 26 weeks. I bought calendula cream from Holland and Barrett, that really helped. Everything lanolin based hurt. Turned out they started oozing milk the day after they were so painful, so it must have been like a sort of test run for all the tubes . They calmed down within a few days. Had a few days where I worked from home because I couldn't actually bear to wear a bra...
