Breastfeeding while pregnant - tender nipple

[Heaven]

Yeah, that's where I got it! Borrowed it from trusty ABA! lol. Hope it eases up for you soon.

I need to read that book! I am feeding from both sides and have found that a bit of a challenge so am very sympathetic! I think the second trimester was the worst. Now (at 35 weeks) theres some tenderness but its not unbearable and its really only the middle of the night feeds that have really been unpleasant. I am constantly telling DS to be gentle these days and I find holding onto my boob myself helps and I'm using Lansinoh which I never used before becoming pregnant. Good luck!

Hi Shanti (did I mention I am super excited about your bubba)...

My nipples were very tender from conception to around 7 weeks, and have eased off since. The biggest change for me was a sudden drop in supply at around 8 weeks. My bbs are so deflated and DD only really sounds like she's drinking in the morning (she doesn't feed between 8pm and 6:30am). This drop in supply surprisingly has lead to more feeding from dd, who basically would feed ALL day if I let her (although it could be because I am lolling on the couch all day and 'available' rather than up and about like I used to be).

How are you feeling otherwise? I am finally starting to get some energy again, thank goodness...those early weeks are tough.

Thanks Arcadia I can't believe you're 13wks now!! That has gone fast.... probably not fast enough for you though if you're feeling crap!

I feel great, although more tired than usual..... chasing after a toddler is exhausting enough let alone being pg too hey!? But I don't have any MS yet (touch wood!) and eating fine. I got MS last time at 6wks with DD so it's still early days yet.... I did another hpt today just to see those 2 lines again haha and the line was darker than the control line so yep still pregnant LOL!!

I hope my nipple isn't so tender afterr 7wks like your's was then..... there is hope then!
