Im 37 weeks pregnant my nipples feels like there is burning, what is going on?

Normal: Hormonal effect on the breast tissues.These hormones prepare the breasts to get a good supply of blood and to activate the mammary glands. The veins in the breasts get engorged with blood and this is mainly responsible for nipples burning during pregnancy. The best method to minimize the discomfort caused by breast changes is to wear bras that fit well or compress the breasts.
