Sore nipples

Amber • Post Liver Transplant Patient living a new life

So I’m 17 weeks pregnant and this past week for some reason, my nipples have been getting oddly sore. This is my first pregnancy. I’m not sure if this is normal or if there is something I can do to help with the annoying pain. Idk the pain is like...tightness and stinging. Again, is this normal or should I seek professional help? If anyone suggest any OTC Medication, that would be extremely helpful!! Thanks!!!
