16 weeks pregnant with extremely sore breasts

Hello, just wondering if this is normal? I barely had any pain during the first trimester but this past week and a half my breasts (particularly my left) have been so painful. Really, it's more my nipples that are so extremely sensitive and very sore to touch. It hurts when I have a bra on, when I don't have a bra on, when I lie down, when I'm sat up... it's like nothing I do helps to ease it! Does anyone have any advice or tips to help ease all of this? Thanks!

Sounds similar to me - I am 17+1 and on Saturday eve it felt as if someone had waxed my nipples or something equally as awful, particularly the left one! It was agony. I had to strip off and I put a warm flannel on each one - that really did help and it went down after a while.
I feel your pain OP!

Yep! Nearly 16 weeks and my boobs are soooo painful! Apparently it's supposed to wear off soon, but I can't see that happening!
Try icing your nipples and popping some soothing cream on to try and help.
Putting plenty of moisturiser on and giving them a small massage after a bath or shower seems to help me too.
