I’m 17 weeks pregnant and my pierced nipples hurt...

Joetta

I got them pierced a few months before we conceived. I am now 17 weeks pregnant and my nipples have just started hurting where they are pierced. My left side hurts more than my right. My boobs are tender anyway due to them preparing for baby, but now my nipples have started hurting. Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes, I do clean them regularly and dry them well after my showers. It just started doing this a couple of days ago but I’m not sure why or if it’s normal for that to happen.
