I'm five months pregnant and am having sore breasts every couple of days with this one. I have recently grown 1 1/2 sizes so there's a bit of work happening there obviously.
Is there any good relief out there or do you just have to wait it out? -------------  |

I found my actual nipples were sore rather than my whole breast, and I found that using a nipple cream helped coz they were dry. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I have found great relief in getting a bigger bra that fits me properly and doesn't scrunch my nipples up like little raisins any more. Well the simplest things eh?
But yes I have been using a rich moisturiser on my nipples as they were really dry and sore, but not specifically a nipple cream, spose it might be a better idea to use something that's made for the job though, back to the pharmacy then ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

Don't forget to use stretch mark cream on your boobs as well, mine were really stretched out by the end of this last pregnancy. ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

once you actually get Breastmilk in. lol, that's just a good for soothing and healing sore nipples and it's free.. just express a bit and smooth it over the nipples and let air dry (lol sounds like you're hanging em out on the line i know).
For now, does heat, or cold work.. sometimesone or the other can help...warm flannels etc placed on them. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

Thanks everyone. Seems everything was happening last week - growth spurt, 2kg (on me), stretch marks, super-tiredness, sore breasts... they seem to have settled down so now *sigh of relief* must be related to the growth spurt I guess.
*Sighs again* here come all the regular growth spurts where you can't do anything for a week at a time  lol (weakly)------------- |
