Yes: Yes , the nipple swelling is due to hormones at high levels which are a normal part of pregnancy. Not to worry! Good luck Hope this helps Dr Z

Nipple swelling: Depending on the stage of the pregnancy, nipple enlargement and tenderness is certainly normal. If both are involved, using simple lubrication ointment may decrease irritation. Firm support for breasts may also decrease the friction from movement which gives rise to tenderness.
