Am currently 15+3 with dc2 and my boobs and nipples are itching like crazy! Anyone else? This is normal right?

Mine did this but then it went away! No idea why - just another delightful pregnancy symptom I guess!

Yes! Espcicially when I'm walking. Can't wear lace bras any more.

I'm 19+4 and some nights I wish I could run a razorblade over them as my hands don't get to the itch enough! Clearly I don't, I just keep slathering on the bio-oil in the hope it subsides..

I'm 18wks 3days and my boobs are driving me INSANE!!!!!! I embarrass the boyf as I've got two hands down my top at every given opportunity. Yesterday I freaked a cyclist at some traffic lights when boyf gave me a lift home...

I had this from very early on, and only went away post 20 weeks. Its awful!

Things that helped me:

Wearing a good comfy bra (yes it looks like a sports bra but who cares!) I wear the bravado silk bra.
Wearing breast pads - in case I get the urge to itch it doesn't harm my nipples and it means I'm surviving on one bra
Use lanisoh cream every day
Moisturise my breasts everyday (I use Mamma Mio Breast cream but you can use anything)

Hope the above helps! :)

I had this around the same time.. It preceeded extreme growth in breast and nipple size...
