Yes, it is common to have sensitive nipples in early pregnancy due to changes in the breasts.
During early pregnancy, many women experience sensitive nipples as a common symptom. This happens because the body is preparing for breastfeeding, which involves significant changes in the breasts.
These changes are a normal part of pregnancy and help prepare the body for feeding the baby after birth. If the sensitivity becomes uncomfortable, wearing a supportive bra and avoiding direct contact with the nipples can help. It's always a good idea to talk to a healthcare provider if there are any concerns about pregnancy symptoms.
