So Im 11 weeks and I put thick lotion on everytime I get out of the shower but my nipples and areolas are still kind of dry does anyone else have this? if so what kind of lotions do you use?

Yes, it is normal. Lanolin really helps (it is the same ointment breastfeeding moms use to soothe their nipples). I prefer the Medela brand because it is easier to apply than the Lansinoh brand.

I'm already lubing the girls up with coconut oil- the kind for preventing belly stretch marks ...seems to help!

You shouldn't use anything (soap or moisturizers) on your breasts as they secrete their own natural oils. If you must use something to moisturize, use something like lanolish.
