Itchy sore boobs

[lozbeth]

Hi ladies,
Has anyone suffered with itchy sore boobs during pregnancy I'm 18 weeks pregnant .

Itchy yes but more when breast feeding. Put it down to skin stretching and increased blood flow. Really annoying... I take to removing my bra when at home.

Omg you've took the words out my mouth! I'm 23 weeks and keep waking up with cuts and scabs from itching in the night . I'm not sure what to do ! I cream after shower and baths so not sure why there so Itchy

Yes I’m 14 weeks and same thing love taking my bra off and having a good scratch when I get home from work. Moisturiser helps alleviate the itching

I got this every time my nipples went through a growth spurt! They would be itchy for a few days then they'd go a bit dry and then settle down again. Use nipple cream or Vaseline to keep them moisturized and whatever you do avoid sudocreme, I thought it was a good idea and then someone mentioned that it dries out skin so was making it worse

Thankyou I'm going mad with itchyinh dying not to wear bras 🙈

Sorry, no advice, but ig can be hormonal.

I used to get horribly itchy nipples when I was a teen and I now still occasionally get them. Not in pregnancy per se, but if hormonal it's definitely possible.

Yep. Im experiencing this. Vaseline or cocoa butter helps me.

Yes been itchy on and off for weeks, I'm 18 weeks. I use E45 itch relief at bedtime which seems to help. I have really flaky nipples too so I think it's to do with dryness and stretching.
