Super sore boobs

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?

11 weeks pp and pregnant?!

Im absolutely shitting myself, me and my partner have been so carefull (we use condoms and he also pulls out) but im late on my period and i cant get to the shop for a few days due to no car and im thinking im possibly pregnant. When i was pregnant before the animals were different the dog became more protective of me and the cat hated me and always tried to bite me. and they have recently been the same. Im trying to think if i have any possible early symptoms so i can convince myself im not 😂 the only thing i have is feeling sick alot and nauseous lol.
what was everyones first symptoms when you’ll were pregnant???

Pregnancy after c section

I need advice I had a c section and my baby now is 7 months. We definitely want a second one, just not sure when it is safe to plan the second one. I would like a natural birth because we want more than two.
And I know for sure if the second one would be a c section then that's it, no more

Is this dress yes or a no?

We are going to Japan for 3 weeks in July and 13 of those days we are on a cruise. There is a bunch of formal nights and formal events and for some of them I’m doing a 80’s glam theme. I already got the dresses for those but I’m looking for some fun and fancy dresses that aren’t vintage also. I’ve been eyeing this particular dress for MONTHS. I kind of love it, but I think it might also be too weird 😆. What do you think?

Weight loss jabs

Is or has anyone been on wegovy or similar whilst also breast feeding? Did you find that it impacted your supply? Please no judgy comments. I'm aware the advice is avoid going on them but I've found out I'm prediabetic. I have pcos and hashimotos so losing weight is near impossible but I feel so awful having put on 10kg from my pre pregnancy weight.
