Causes and Treatments for Chest Pain During Pregnancy

Some new mothers will experience chest pain during pregnancy, and these new mothers are full of joy and often think that it will pass if they endure it, which eventually leads to serious consequences. There are many causes of chest pain during pregnancy and many corresponding treatments. Below we will introduce in detail the causes and treatments of pain during pregnancy.

Pregnancy for ten months is a painful and happy thing for every mother. In the early stages of pregnancy, pregnant women usually experience various pregnancy reactions, so what is the cause of chest pain? When the pregnancy reaches about the 5th week, the breasts begin to change. When the pregnancy is about 3-4 months, most people's breasts have begun to grow larger. In addition to slight pain, lumps may be felt occasionally. Varicose veins will continue to appear just below the epidermis of the breast, and the color of the nipples will become darker. These changes are in preparation for future lactation, so don't be too nervous.

Some pregnant women experience chest pain in the early stages of pregnancy because the placenta secretes a large amount of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), which promotes the secretion of prolactin. Your breasts may become extra tender a week or two after conception. Because your body produces a lot of estrogen and progesterone in early pregnancy, the glands in your breasts begin to grow. These hormones also cause the breasts to retain more fluid, so they may feel heavier and soreer than before, and more sensitive than PMS.

Therefore, pregnant mothers can evenly scrub their breasts and areolas with warm water every day to keep their breasts clean and keep the nipple skin tough. After scrubbing, pregnant mothers can gently squeeze the nipples with their fingers to keep them unobstructed, and apply hot compresses with a clean hot towel every day to effectively relieve chest pain.

It is also recommended that after we know we are pregnant, we should choose some foods that are conducive to the mother's eating, reduce vomiting, and are light and easy to digest to supplement the mother's nutrition, which is more conducive to the development of the fetus.

In the above article, we have introduced in detail the causes of chest pain during pregnancy and how to relieve it. If you experience chest pain during pregnancy, you must not take it lightly, and you must not worry too much. You must face it correctly and actively treat it, so that you can get the best results and welcome your baby with a healthy body!
