burning nipples :(

[BrookieG]

Hi girls

for the past week or so when im cold my nipples feel like they're on fire...literally like they are burning, i had to go and check the other day that they werent leaking coz they felt so hot that they felt wet (if that makes sense) I know nipple pain is common but wondered if this is the same type of nipple pain everyone else is feeling?? Another thing ive noticed when i take my bra off is that my nipples are erect but are slanting to the side....do you think im maybe needing a bigger bra or is something wrong with me? lol xx

My nipples dont burn its more like an ache sometimes. As for your bra size it does sound like your current bra could be a bit small. Maybe go to mothercare and get measured they do lovely comfy maternity bras. xx

Ahhh! I know exactly what you mean, I suffered from this quite badly, especially a few weeks a go...! When I was cold and my nipples started to go erect it was so so painful... I had to nearly wear 2 or 3 tops underneath a jumper to keep it from happening! When it was cold outside I freaked out about my nipples! (People thought I was going mad). Then, I was just watching TV and all of a sudden my nipples felt on fire and I felt like I just wanted to rip them off, I had to take my bra and every off and sit topless! They were so so sensitive! It has definitely eased off now.. but I never really got round to looking for any remedies or anything!x

I have exactly the same problem my nipples feel like they are burning up!!! Especially when they are erect but today even when they arent. I suddenly end up grabbing my boobs in pain lol - another one of the lovely pregnancy symptoms that ppl 4get to mention....

Yep I did a thread about this earlier as it's getting unbearable sometimes! It hurts sooo much, I'm really hoping the pain doesn't get any worse when breastfeeding cos bloody hell it's painful!

Im the very same, in fact I posted a 'ouch painful boobs thread!'. Tried wearing a firm bra, even at night. Nothing. Still getting them, although perhaps maybe not as often. What helps is keeping the warm. Soon as it starts i run to the bathroom and pour warm water over them and my hot water bottle and microwave bag are on standby! Poor hubby does the night runs.. Only thing that eases the pain quicker i find.

Is there a whiteness to your nipple when it is burning? I know that in my breastfeeding book they talk about Raynaud's Phenomenon which is usually burning of the nipple after a temperature change (from warm to cold after baby stops nursing is an example), and typically the burning lasts while the nipple is white. Warming them up when it burns is one of the recommendations in the book.

Ooh yes I have the nipple firs going on too! Mine are also permanently erect! I found when I switched to a comfy maternity bra made of very soft material it did improve slightly, but comes and goes unfortunately!

I have not experienced that. Do you think it might be a yeast infection? I know women can get that on their nipples, but I don't know what the symptoms are.
