Why is my breast not swollen during pregnancy?

The most beautiful time for every woman is when she is a bride and when she is pregnant for ten months. The process of nurturing a baby is the happiest moment in life. It is a very happy feeling to witness the changes of the baby in the belly day by day. However, all kinds of discomfort during pregnancy are also enough for mothers to bear. How long will the breasts hurt during pregnancy? The following introduction will let you be mentally prepared. In fact, these are things that every mother must go through and you don’t have to worry too much about them.

Many pregnant mothers often feel pain in the breast area, which is sometimes light, sometimes heavy, sometimes absent, and sometimes not. It is hard to understand. Many people are frightened about this, fearing that they have "breast cancer." In fact, breast tenderness is one of the earliest signs of pregnancy, usually starting around 4 to 6 weeks and lasting throughout the early stages of pregnancy (the first 3 months of pregnancy).

Breasts are the baby's food supply after birth. Therefore, throughout pregnancy, the development of the breasts changes along with the development of the fetus in order to adapt to the needs of breastfeeding after delivery. Generally speaking, breast pain will be more severe in the 4th to 6th week of pregnancy.

Breast tenderness during pregnancy is caused by changes in hormone levels. From the moment the fertilized egg implants into the ovum, the endocrine system in the female body begins to change. Among them, one of the most obvious signs is breast sensitivity and pain. This is due to the increased hormone levels in the pregnant woman's body. This distending pain is very similar to what women feel before their period, but it is more intense.

The chest pain will improve significantly after 3 months of pregnancy, because the pregnant woman's body has adapted to the hormonal changes during pregnancy since the second trimester.

For breast swelling and pain symptoms after pregnancy, pregnant women can use breast care methods such as hot compresses and massage to relieve them. It is important to note that the breasts are very fragile during this period, and pregnant women should be gentle during care to avoid damaging the nipples.

After reading the above introduction, you will understand how long it will take for breast pain to occur during pregnancy. Generally, pregnancy reactions vary from person to person. Not everyone will experience chest pain, because everyone's early pregnancy reactions are different. However, most chest pains occur at the time mentioned above. If you don't experience it, be glad that it means you don't have any pain. I wish you a happy pregnancy!
