I'm almost 27 weeks and when I an the least bit cold or when I'm in the shower my boobs and particularly nipples are extremely sore. Its getting to be random times now too....I know its hormonal but im thinking if this is so painful now...how the heck am I gonna breastfeed? Anyone else suffering?

I'm 20+4 and I've been thinking the same, i just keep saying yo myself.... Surely this eases off at some point during pregnancy 🤣

well when you breastfeed your boobs shouldn’t be sore/painful

I had this all the way through pregnancy it was horrendous. Unfortunately I never got to breastfeed but it did instantly go after birth (c section)

I actually had this around the same time as you, and weirdly enough I also got a clogged milk duct which was really painful and didnt realise you could get it before baby arrives, but after a few day it all settled. I massaged my boobs under the shower, maybe try that see if it helps ease the soreness.

Coconut oil multiple times a day. (specifically I used MCT oil)
I had the same thing. Mine was so bad by 27 weeks, taking a shower was agonizing. Then I tried MCT oil and my pain is completely gone. I only use it once a day now after showering (I'm 35 weeks) because all the pain is gone. At first, I would put it on before I go in the shower and it would prevent the pain in the shower too.
Before I tried coconut oil, i bought the hand warmers and would put them on top of my bra before leaving the house. I couldn't open my jacket in front of anyone because I looked ridiculous 😂😂 it was so bad.

Yep I’m also 27 weeks and have this…I’ve occasionally noticed small bits of colostrum too. Apparently you can start to collect and feeeze this and a midwife is going to go through this with me at some stage. I don’t think o have enough to collect now! Not interested to see if I should be doing something now?

When I was 20 weeks my boobs was really sore my whole first trimester they was super sensitive and sore

I am going through this too at 24 weeks. Like they hurt sooo bad!
