but the concern is Im not breastfeeding yet. Im still pregnant. is this normal?

Okay so no joke; so my MIL had my husband in New Zealand and they mostly use mid wives there and theres this home remedy that she swears by and claims is better than meds when she was breastfeeding my SO. She says she was told to put cold cabbage leaves in her bra and the cold and something in the cabbage relieves the pain and it worked. Thats what she did for all three of her babies.

I also have a rash between my breasts

get some nipple cream! it'll help with the itching. I used coconut lotion and it helped
