The breasts are a crucial part for female friends. The health of the breasts can indirectly indicate whether there are any unhealthy diseases in the female body. However, some people believe that only the larger the breasts, the more milk they can provide for the baby. In fact, this is incorrect. So, will the breasts become larger in the early stages of pregnancy?
Yes, from the first few weeks of pregnancy, breasts may feel swollen or even painful, and sometimes thick, pale yellow colostrum may appear when squeezing the nipple. In the second month of pregnancy, the breasts gradually expand and become very soft. Due to the enlargement of the breasts, a substance resembling a lump will grow in the breasts. Next, the blood vessels beneath the breast skin will become prominent, and the nipples will gradually enlarge. The color of the areola will deepen due to increased pigmentation, and the nipple protrusion will become more pronounced.
A normal woman's body undergoes significant changes during pregnancy, and from the moment the fertilized egg appears, the breasts will respond to hormonal changes in the body. In fact, this is a normal physiological function of the human body, which can adapt to the need for lactation after childbirth.
Meanwhile, the degree of breast development during pregnancy is also an important factor in determining how much milk is secreted. Throughout pregnancy, the breasts will continue to grow up to three times their size before pregnancy, but over time, the swelling and pain caused by breast enlargement will gradually decrease. It is important to note that if symptoms such as breast redness, swelling, thermal pain, nipple bleeding, nipple rupture, and skin ulcers are noticed, they should not be ignored and immediate medical attention should be sought.
