I was diagnosed with Raynaud's back in 2005, I don't take medication for it and generally effects my feet the worst but over the last couple years has also started effecting my hands

Well since being pregnant I have noticed that it is now effecting my nipples, myself and future hubby were just .... and well i am now in soooooooo much pain with black/blue nipples, I want to breastfeed baby and am not worried that I will get this pain when breastfeeding making it difficult (i couldn't deal with this numerous times a day every day, it hurts too much!)

I had read raynauds is meant to be better during pregnancy due to increased blood flow, however mine seems to be worse now than ever (hands, feet and now nip nips)

anyone else suffering and can offer advice?

I have a consultant appointment next wednesday after a scary/eventful 20 week scan and also because my comunity midwife wants me to have a growth scan later on due to raynauds
