Does pregnancy cause sore nipples?

Yes, and unfortunately there is not any set time frame for the symptoms to arrive and dissipate. The surge of hormones causes the breast tissues to expand, which causes tenderness.

It can, any I would say you should invest in a supportive, soft, breathable cotton bra to keep things comfy as it can last as long as your pregnancy.

It can; this is often related to lactation, or milk production. Although it can vary, this soreness generally lasts for as long as the mother lactates.

Yes. Your breasts and nipples will be very tender. It's usually the worst in the first trimester because your breasts will substantially grow. They may hurt later in the pregnancy because your breast will still be growing and the glands will be preparing to produce milk for your new baby.
