Breast during pregnancy

In Blog by Frances Largeman-Roth

Pregnancy is a time of strong changes in the whole body of a woman. This also applies to the chest. By the way, it is the very first breast that can warn about pregnancy. However, it is difficult to notice it yourself. Rather, an attentive partner with sensitive fingers can do it. Some men can already feel a barely noticeable increase in the female breast in the first week of pregnancy.
These changes are associated with the preparation of the body for the future feeding of the baby: the cells responsible for milk production and connective tissue increase.
However, if you think that you can keep the shape of the breast by refusing to feed, then you are very mistaken. Do not forget that the changes have already taken place, so in any case, the breasts will not look like a girl's. So do not deny your baby the most valuable things for the sake of illusory hopes.
And besides, who said that the breast of a female mother is less beautiful than that of an unborn one?
In addition to changes in size and shape, breast soreness and slight itching may occur during pregnancy. There's nothing you can do about it - you'll have to endure. You can't scratch inside. Still, it's not as unpleasant as toxicosis.
The most interesting thing is that the mammary gland begins to produce colostrum even during gestation. It is such a thick, sticky yellowish liquid, a harbinger of milk, but containing an order of magnitude more protein, vitamins and antibodies than mature milk. In different women, it begins to stand out at different times: someone in the first hours after childbirth, someone in the second half of pregnancy. Being pregnant, I thought that the early appearance of colostrum meant that there would be a lot of milk. But as it turned out, there is as much milk as a child needs, no more.
Just don't try to squeeze colostrum out of your chest! Irritation of the nipples causes stimulation of the uterus, and this can provoke premature birth.
Another problem during pregnancy is stretch marks. They appear due to a decrease in the collagen content in the skin. Therefore, it is necessary to use a special cream for stretch marks from the first week of pregnancy.
How to keep your breasts beautiful during pregnancy?
Choose the right bra. It should be closed, without bones, with an elastic back and an adjustable clasp; monitor posture - proper posture lifts the chest and does not allow it to sag; do exercises to train the pectoral muscles; do chest massage with a shower. Just try not to get into the near-nasal zone at the same time.
And don't worry too much about the changed figure - the happiness of being a mom is much more important than having an amazing bust. Play your favorite casino games on your mobile device at All Slots Casino Mobile for a seamless gaming experience.
