Is anyone else experiencing itchy boobs??? Mine become so bad I could literally scratch my nipples off. Never experienced anything like it???? I'm coming up 26 weeks.

Yeah I had it in both my pregnancies! It used to drive me crazy 😂

Oh God yes. I’m remembering my bra being so irritating, I found putting bamboo breast pads inside my bra helpful.

Avoid scratching belly and boobs if you wish to minimise stretch marks

I could honestly cry they get that bad!!!! And it only seems to be in the evenings and at night?

Not so much itchy but like someone is sticking hot needles into my nipples. Lanolin nipple cream has sorted it for me. Maybe that and/or generally moisturizing will help?

I had this so badly! I used this neals yard pregnancy balm on them and on my bump and it was so soothing
