Sorry if this is gross, I just need to know.

I know that this is a little gross but I just need to know if it is normal. I am 25 weeks pregnant. My nipples have been very sensitive and I have noticed a very small amount of crust on my nipples. Is this normal?

deleted_user
Yes. Totally. But when in doubt, ask your ob/gyn at your next visit. But to ease your mind right now, your nipples and areola have something called the Montgomery glands and its job is to secrete a substance that lubricates and helps to protect the areola from infection. Hope that puts your mind at ease.

I agree it's totally normal. I think your breasts start producing the premilk around this time. I have the same thing happen to me sometimes. But I would still tell your doctor. Mine always asks if I have any leakeage.

With my daughter i had crusty eczema type weepey crusty spots. I had to use nipple shields to breast feed to protect her skin. I staretd getting spots this time a few months ago and started using (straight away0 Doble base and then putting epederm on top them my bra on.if you don't want to get bra dirty greesey put a brast pad on, this will also help keep moisture in and don't use soap, body wash on them use aqueouse cream or what ever works for you-to wash them. i do this once a day and it helped to stop them getting very bad. When it first started i used eye steroids because i had some from before and this helpe it also. The doctor said this wouldn't work becasue ther are steroids for different things but it did eys steroids are milder because they are for the eye. It has gone now. But when i was first pregnant i had sensitive nipples which would errect whenever the temperature dropped a little. I was in alot of pain near shop freezwrs. I am also 25 weeks now. has stopped now. Maybe go chemist or doctors try creams and find one which works for you.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
