20wks pregnant and this weeks development is every evening my nipples feel like they've been stung by a thousand wasps. Start off itchy, then hot and sore.

Is there anything i can do? please god let there be something

Mama mio nipple balm.... It's stopped me clawing mine in a very unladylike fashion. Expensive but worth it!

I think they itch due to stretching and skin drying out, so any moisturiser that you have in should work x

I remember getting this and in a fit of frustration I slapped sudocreme on there and it did the job!

Its not like the usual itchyness from stretching I don't think, i am using various anti stretch mark stuff a.m. And p.m. for that.

I have sudocreme !

Mine are the same, driving myself insane itching at them!!! At the mo, a combo of palmers coco butter stretch mark cream on my boob and lanolin cream on actual nipple is helping a bit. Also a cotton sleep style bra rather than a normal or maternity bra is helping reduce the itch! When really bad in bed a flannel in cold water is helping a bit
