Nipple soreness/pains at 18-19 weeks

[DPAW]

Hi everyone I turned 19 weeks today (yay) but since my 18th week my nipples have had bouts of pain like a hot burning feeling, mostly my left nipple. I normally feel some discomfort right after taking off my bra but that subsides. Just wanted to know if anyone else has this experience and if it is normal?

Thanks ladies  at least i get some comfort in knowing it's normal, but it's soooooo uncomfortable. Just this left breast but anything for my precious one!!!

I know EXACTLY how you feel.  It definitely comes and goes, but at times I swear it feels like the nipple is on fire.  I was told to "rub it".  Which is not something that necessarily feels great by any means, but it's supposed to settle down the nerve which is over-firing.  Whether or not that is true, well all I can say is, I don't know but after a few minutes it does seem to settle down.  Sometimes it's just not convenient to "feel yourself up" when you're out and about in public you know what I mean?!?!  :)  Well, I hope this helps.  Sometimes a little comic relief about what our body is going through makes some symptoms a little more bearable though!

i have experienced this some too.. but the main thing lately is ITCHING! my whole front side itches like crazy! i guess our bodies are just continually adjusting :) wow, rbhol01.. leaking milk at 6 months.. i hadn't really thought of that much yet.. i guess i should make sure and have some breast pads on hand just in case!

OMG...I hope not...lol! I have only a couple things for this pregnancy and my lil man so far. I keep waiting to wake up from a dream cuz I really thought we were done and boom I am preggo but outside a few symptoms...I really dont feel pregnant. If I were to start leaking..I'd be stuck at home cuz I havent even bought breast pads yet  ><

This is my 3rd baby and I also get soreness in my nipples. Not to freak you out but with both of my other pregnancies I started leaking milk from 6 months on and I know quite a few people who have gone through that. It stinks cause you have to resort to wearing breast pads 24/7 and a bra to bed =( I have been getting that sensation again recently so I know its coming...

YES!! I am 23wks and still have nipple soreness. Sometimes I cant stand anything to touch them and other times it is like a burning/tingling sensation that is bothersome. With my other two boys my whole breasts hurt but only during the first trimester but with this lil man it is totally different. Wish I could tell you when it would go away but I am still experiencing it so all I can say is....good luck and hope it gets better soon!
