Causes and suggestions for chest pain during pregnancy

Causes and suggestions for chest pain during pregnancy

Expectant mothers may not be able to adapt to the current situation, but this is something that every pregnant woman will experience and we cannot choose it. Chest pain is a very uncomfortable thing, but it is something that no one else can replace. For the sake of our baby, we can only grit our teeth and persevere. Let us now understand the causes and how to relieve it.

reason:

1. During pregnancy, the estrogen level is high, which will stimulate the breasts. Early pregnancy reactions are different for everyone, including vomiting, lethargy, frequent urination, fear of cold, discomfort when smelling oil, and pain when touching the breasts... These symptoms usually appear 6 weeks after menopause and generally last until 3 months of pregnancy. Everyone's situation is different, which is related to personal hormones. Some people have a longer early pregnancy reaction, which does not disappear until 16-18 weeks.

2. When the pregnancy reaches about the 5th week, the breasts begin to change. Around 3-4 months of pregnancy, most people's breasts have begun to grow larger. In addition to slight pain, you may occasionally feel a lump. Varicose veins will continue to appear just below the breast epidermis, and the nipple color will become darker. These changes are in preparation for future lactation, so don't be too nervous.

3. 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.

suggestion

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.

During the ten months of pregnancy, great mothers endure a lot, and they themselves know how difficult it is. All we can do is take good care of them and make them comfortable somewhere else. We all understand the hardships of pregnancy, but not everyone can experience it personally, and we cannot truly understand how difficult it is.
