If your planning on breastfeeding,  i do recommend you cake up lotion over your nipples.  Alot Dr tell you not wash your nipples with soap either.  Try warm water. you can try nipple cream also. Sold in stores near bottles and breastfeeding feeding section instead of lotion. It is ok us lotion around the nipples just not on the nipples.  This is for before and after baby born.  If you plan on breastfeeding.  The nipple cream is safe for baby.

They're itching because they're growing. Mine weren't too tender in the beginning and still aren't so don't worry. For the itching, just put some moisturizing lotion on them, Palmers stretch marks is good for it. Once you start getting a little baby bump, put it on your belly too. Hope it helps.
