I'm 13 weeks and my nipples itch like nothing I've ever experienced before. This is worse than a mosquito bite! Is it normal for this to happen?

Also is there any way to relieve this itching?

Dry, stretching skin tends to be itchy. Your growing abdomen is likely to be the most itchy part of your body as your pregnancy progresses. To manage itchy skin, avoid hot showers and baths. After bathing, pat your skin dry and apply moisturizer before it has fully dried. Try eliminating drying soaps, skin products with alcohol, and heavily chlorinated water from your daily routine. These may contribute to skin dryness. If you live in a dry climate, use a humidifier at home. For a severe, persistent itch, contact your health professional.
Good luck

Nipples Itching During Pregnancy

Yes totally normal. Because your breast produce milk it causes the skin to stretch. That makes veins more apparent and itch a bit too. If your skin is more on the pale side and you don't like seeing the veins you can use a self tanning lotion. I wouldn't recommend tanning because uv damage is very unhealthy. Plus lotion will soften the skin making it easier to stretch and cause less itch. If you still feel alarmed, go to the doctor and ask them. Since you are pregnant you should be going rather frequently for check ups and such, just ask!

OH, my goodness, I forgot about that part!!!
yep, totally normal. Get some good cream (Eucerin is great, but get the cream, not lotion) and rub on. Ask your OB if there is anything topical that might help, but basically, it'll go away soon.

Yes, its normal. I would try some lotion or maybe coco butter, they may itch because they are growing. You could ask you Dr @ your next appt.
