ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD ITCHY BOOBS..??

missfancyj · December 2013

So this morning I woke up and my breast were ridiculously itchy. I don't know whats going on, so far I have only had breast sensitivity the first three weeks and I have been fine until recently when I noticed some sharp pains every now and then. My breast have not grown much but do feel fuller and heavier but then this morning, the itchiness.. What gives?

Holy cow, yes. I don't know if it is just winter skin + hot showers and not enough lotion or just another perk of pregnancy ;-)

It's normal, but irritating too. Here's what helped me during my pregnancies:

** mild, not hot water : having too hot water dries your skin out easier.

** a good moisturizing soap in the shower. Dove brand with the lotion strip really helped.

** lanolin by the tub. It can be gooey but lanolin is great for all over your body-- not just your nipples. I usually would get a good sleeping bra & slather it on my boobs overnight. It's marvelous.

** when you get up in the morning a light layer of coconut oil can help too. Smells lovely & really moisturizes.

** drink lots of water.

Hope this helps!

They are growing, same thing will happen to your belly when you get further along. It sucks, just I just put lotion on every night, and it helped a lot
