Just wondering if anyone else is experience insanely itchy nipples.
My left side is pretty much itchy constnatly while the right only occassionally. I just put it down to normal pregnancy joy but its starting to drive me nuts - where i've got to go to the toilet at work and have a good scratch.
the left nipple also seems a little more open than the right side iykwim. The left is also the bigger side for me.
Any other takers? I wasn't going to mention it to the doc but should I?
I had itchy nipples to when preg was awful going round scratching all the time. Try wear clothes that breathe better cause I found then they didn't get so itchy.
Sounds like normal preggy stuff to me. Do you use a body lotion like Bio Oil or something? I have started putting (read slopping) heaps of the stuff all over my belly, back, hips and nipples, it helps somewhat. I have also upped my water in take and I have found that that is helping with the itchies.
Try not to scratch I did actually read somewhere that scratching makes it worse
naenae - i was using bio oil but ran out. will start moisturising my boobs again (was only doing my belly and back). Yeah been drinking water like the proverbial. but generally strugglig with itchiness across my body... my left nipple just seemed particularly bad over the past few days.
