in 2nd Trimester

May be a TMI, but OMG. I'm 22 weeks and my nipples are SO itchy all the time! What can I do to make it stop? 

 Is anybody else experiencing this?

    OMG!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU.  I have been having the worst time with this.  I haven't noticed any posts about it.  Its JUST my nipples, not my brests.  Its horrible, not to mention the fact that they are always huge and hard as a rock.

    SAME! My husband began hysterical laughing at me as I undressed last night because he noticed me staring at my nipples in the mirror as I scratched vigorously.

    Lotion helped a bit!

    Itchy nipples were one of my first symptoms... I got them before my BFP and they actually tipped me off to POAS.  They come and go, but have gotten better with time.

    I am so happy I`m not alone here! I feel so awkward walking in a store and it`s taking all I have not to scratch, lol.

     DH has been laughing at me too, I`m always looking at them and he thinks its hilarious.

     Mine are itchy as h3ll and sadly, I don't even care about scratching them anymore- I just go for it. I caught myself scratching my ever itchy nips in Target today.  Oops...   I'll have to get some of that super thick itch cream pp mentioned.

    Ughhh right there with ya. They are dry and flaky too (and I am moisturizing often with good cream). I have used lasinoh before but found it can be hard to spread at times=really aggravating with sensitive nips. Happy to hear I'm not the only one, but sorry you ladies are having to deal with it too :(

    i've been having the same problem since the very beginning of my pregnancy. along with my itching i've got scabby dry patches too. like the little holes where my milk ducts are all have rough skin on them..ick.... i've been using olive oil then a cloth to wipe away the dead skin and then more olive oil, i love it. i've also used olive oil for stretch marks my whole life and love it! i will soon be trying out this lanolin everyone raves about too.

    My nipples are itchy, dry and peeling. They feel like they are on fire when I workout! Not fun :o) I have been putting lotion on them twice a day and it helps somewhat.

    You're not alone! Mine started getting really itchy about 2 weeks ago. They aren't dry though like others said. I did notice that about a week after they started itching really badly I started leaking a little colostrum every now and then. I guess the fun is starting again!
