One of the obvious signs of pregnancy is that women's breasts begin to become sensitive, swollen, and sore for no reason. You may feel something in your breast while trying to find a comfortable position to sleep, while exercising or bathing, or while getting dressed. When a woman becomes pregnant, her body begins to produce milk in preparation for breast milk. Hormones begin to increase. In addition, the breasts may become sensitive and swollen, and the nipples may feel sore and become extremely sensitive. Some women find that their nipples become darker.

Breast pain after pregnancy is caused by the placenta and villi secreting large amounts of estrogen, progesterone and prolactin, which cause breast hyperplasia and breast enlargement. This is a kind of physiological pain, which is in preparation for postpartum breastfeeding. Just change to a wider bra in time to support the growing breasts. From the 8th week onwards, the breasts gradually grow larger, the color of the nipples and areolas deepens, and dark brown nodules appear around the nipples. After 12 weeks, a small amount of clear milk will be secreted. Therefore, the breasts will feel tingling, swelling and itching, and the nipples will also be painful.
