Sore nipples, can be due to Mastitis. You might has mastitis during your pregnancy as this is common during pregnancy and breast feeding
You need to go to a gynec doctor to get this checked immediately. Treated b oral antibiotics.
These symptoms can also occur due to hormonal variation or wearing tight bras.
Hope this helps!
