    Argh Itchy Breasts.

    I am just about livid.

    They are SO itchy!

    Not the nipple, but the actual breast area.

    Does this mean that they are getting bigger? My breasts never changed size or did anything at all when I was pregnant with P, so having them do weird stuff is totally new to me.

    Today they are really itchy but for the last few days there's been a lot of stabbing pain in the sides of them, esp in the left side (which is the side that is naturally slightly bigger).

    Becuase I have one that is a bit bigger than the other, will I get massively lopsided as I get more pregnant? I am mortified of their different sizes as it is! Shame!

    I was about to post a thread very similar!!! My breasts itch like CRAZY! but all of it, nipples, and the breast itself. I really hope they aren't growing, they're bloody huge and uncomfy as it is! I've also had the pains you're describing, it's driving me bonkers!

    My nipples have been feeling...not normal...but not itchy. My nipple piercings have been acting very strangely!

    Okay, now I have just touched it to see if it is sore, and NOW it is itching. Typical. LOL.

    ahh bummer!

    I just rub heaps of coconut oil into them and keep them as unconfined as possible They itch the worst at night time, I've taken to tapping/slapping them instead of scratching as it can get so bad!

    Jut be careful with the coconut oil...I used to use it all the time until I found out that if you use too much externally, it will start having a drying effect, rather than a moisturising effect.

    You can still eat/drink/cook with it/use it internally though, and it'll do it's work from the inside.

    That's so interesting to know! My skin has been drier lately, I've been using coconut externally (and internally, mmm so good with curries and stir fries) for about a year. I've been wanting to change to moogoo as a moiturizer, so I think I'll use up the rest of the little pot I have and bump it to cooking only. Great to know, thanks hun!

    My nipples are SOOOOOO itchy all the time and have been since the start. And the only thing that stops them is having DH lick them!!! It's just hard to keep him focused on the fact that my nipples are itchy not that I want to DTD!!! hahaha

    I've had the itchy issue and come out the other side... and sorry but yep, they were growing! I just slathered them in heaps of moisturiser and it was pretty much all I could do. I used the Vaseline intensive care intensive repair cream and when they got really really bad I have also used Paw Paw ointment on them. It did help and I seem to have avoided stretch marks on them even though they've gotten huge and I have got stretch marks on my belly (which wasn't moisturised as much).

    Mine were a G cup to start with, so my worry is not stretch marks, it's what do I do for a bra if they get bigger!?

    Eeeekkk.

    Boo. I don't want them to grow!

    They must be already growing and I must be in denial becuase they are already much firmer than usual. Would that be a sign of them growing?

    Umm not necessarily! They could be firmer from hormonal changes but doesn't mean they are getting bigger (hopefully!!!) FX they don't grow!!!

    I went from an A cup to D cup in my first month! But I reckon that's cause I was so small boobie wise to begin with.
