For those with nip issues....

in 1st Trimester
So I posted recently with a TMI question about nipples.  It didn't seem like many people are there yet but I just wanted to let everyone interested know what the midwife told me today in case you end up with these joyous symptoms.....  She said itchy, flaky, and even crusty (Ew) nipples are perfectly normal.  You can get vitamin E capsules and just break them open on them to help with all those symptoms.  Again, I don't really understand why my breasts need to be involved at this stage but oh well....  This all makes the possibility of finally breaking the drought with DH even more unlikely, poor guy!

    Thanks for posting this!  I did notice that my nips were ashy, wasn't sure if I should put lotion on them or what?

    Is your DH scared of having sex too?  I cannot seem to get mine to do it?!  I really haven't been in the mood lately anyway, nausea is not a turn on!

    Since I plan on breast feeding I was told not to put any lotion on the nipples.  The babe will latch on better if the nipple is a bit rough.  My mom's friend was telling me that back in the day people would sandpaper their nipples to get the baby to latch on.

    Thanks for posting the tip, I was noticing my nipples were getting a little dryish as well.

    and as for the hubby thing, i can't get mine into the sack either. He says he won't until I hit 13 weeks he's too scared. It's sweet, but driving me NUTS.

    :P

    We did it the night I got my BFP (Sat), although it took some discussion beforehand (DH was so nervous!!! It was very cute!)

    Holy Geez!!!  The way my nipples feel right now, I can't imagine rubbing them with sandpaper!  It hurts to even stand under the shower head.  That makes me tear up.
