After becoming pregnant, women will experience some pregnancy reactions, especially in the first few months of pregnancy. Pregnancy reactions are most obvious, and in severe cases, they can also have an impact on daily life. Common pregnancy reactions include increased vaginal discharge, nausea and vomiting, and breast swelling. So, did you not test for chest swelling before pregnancy?
As long as women are pregnant, most of them will have chest distension, which is not related to whether pregnancy has been detected or not. It is normal for women to experience chest swelling after pregnancy. This is due to the excessive secretion of estrogen, progesterone, and prolactin in the body after pregnancy, and sometimes chest distension can persist throughout the entire pregnancy.
The feeling of chest distension in the vast majority of pregnant women will disappear as hormone levels stabilize. However, there are also some pregnant women who still feel breast distension and may have colostrum secretion when they are seven or eight months pregnant. At this time, pregnant women should do a good job of breast cleaning and care. When the breasts are swollen and painful, you can use a towel to apply heat, which can prevent breast lumps and make the breasts more unobstructed.
Pregnant women can also massage their breasts to relieve breast swelling and pain, which not only reduces pain but also benefits lactation after childbirth. In addition, pregnant women also need to purchase bras that are suitable for themselves, as previous bras have become smaller, which can increase swelling and pain.
