Feel the Burn (nipple burn, that is)

[Becky30]

At 36 weeks along, I am having really tender breasts and actually a burning sensation in my nipples.  Does anyone else have this at all?

I think I have Reynaud's Syndrome in my nipples when I breastfeed (this is my third), but I wondered how much of the pain and discomfort I feel is related to that and how much is just normal.

(I posted this in Breastfeeding and Oct. 08 Babies, too. Sorry if this is a repeat for you!)

Yeah it's very uncomfortable.  With my two kids i had the same thing for the first few months and after i had my kids.  I had the burning sensation as well.  Now I'm preggo ago with my third and I'm estimated by my LMP to be 6 weeks.  I have the same thing.  The nipples burning.  I'm pretty sure it's normal, but I'm not a doctor or anything.  It never caused me any complications and a doctor never told me that there was anything wrong with it.  So you're ok and I know just how uncomfortable it is.
