I am five months pregnant and my milk is clearing up.

During pregnancy, due to changes in female hormones and increased lactogen, the breasts will become swollen and painful, the areola will become darker, and the nipples will be significantly more prominent. Colostrum will be produced in the second trimester of pregnancy. This is a normal reaction during pregnancy and there is no need to worry. It is a preparation for future breastfeeding. It is recommended to maintain daily breast cleaning, wash frequently, change underwear frequently, and avoid squeezing with hands. In addition, you should maintain a stable mood and do moderate exercise. Properly match the diet, the nutrients should be balanced, not single, and do regular prenatal check-ups.

It is normal for milk to flow out during the fifth month of pregnancy. During pregnancy, the embryo will secrete estrogen, which will cause milk secretion. There will also be breast enlargement, enlarged milk ducts, darker areola color and expansion, a darker nipple, and granular secretions. These are all normal manifestations and do not require special treatment.

During this period, pay attention to hygiene and cleanliness as much as possible, wear loose cotton underwear, reduce irritation to local skin and benefit blood circulation. If the underwear is too tight, it will affect the blood circulation and cause breast pain or tingling. During pregnancy, you should pay attention to rest, avoid excessive fatigue, and avoid strong shaking, otherwise it will aggravate the feeling of breast pain.

It is relatively rare to still vomit during the fifth month of pregnancy, but in clinical medicine, there are indeed people whose morning sickness continues until birth, although it is rare. If vomiting continues during the fifth month of pregnancy, it may be due to special circumstances such as maternal gallbladder or liver disease, pancreatitis, or severe early eclampsia. If the mother has high blood pressure, positive urine protein and vomiting, be careful of severe early eclampsia and terminate the pregnancy immediately if necessary. Vomiting during the fifth month of pregnancy should be considered in addition to medical diseases, such as gastroenteritis, cholecystitis, pancreatitis, etc., as well as risk conditions such as hepatitis and acute fatty liver.
