Do breasts swell during early pregnancy?

As we all know, pregnancy is a very difficult process. Pregnant women not only need to bear physical pressure, but also have a certain degree of psychological panic. Many pregnant women do not understand the symptoms of pregnancy very well and are always worried about what is wrong with their bodies. After pregnancy, there will be great changes in various parts of the pregnant woman's body, especially the breasts and abdomen. So, will breasts swell during early pregnancy?

1. Notes:

1. Diet

To relieve breast pain, it is advisable to eat whole grain foods, such as soy products. Try to stay away from foods containing caffeine, such as coffee, ice cream, chocolate, and even tea. Although there is no strong evidence that caffeine causes breast tenderness, women who quit coffee noticeably feel less breast tenderness.

2. Alternate between cold and hot compresses

Hot compress is a traditional pain relief method in my country. Apply heat with a hot water bag to relieve pain. You can also use the method of alternating hot and cold to promote blood circulation.

3. Medication

Use diuretics to help excrete fluid that cannot be excreted from the body. If the pain is caused by lotion swelling, this method is more effective, but the medication must be taken according to the doctor's advice.

4. Wear a bra

A suitable bra can not only prevent breast sagging and squeeze the breasts appropriately, but also relieve breast pain.

5. Massage

Clean the breasts, apply oil, and gently squeeze and rub them to relieve pain.

6. Exercise appropriately and keep a happy mood

Exercise can promote metabolism in the body, make you feel more relaxed, maintain a good mood, and also relieve pain.

2. How to take care of your breasts during pregnancy

1. Wash frequently with warm water to care for breast skin and promote breast development. When bathing, massage your breasts properly to relieve breast pain. Wipe your nipples carefully after bathing to ensure the cleanliness of your baby's future food.

2. When sleeping, maintain a correct sleeping posture to reduce pressure on the breasts.

3. Expectant mothers with small breasts must not have breast augmentation during pregnancy, as breast augmentation at this time can easily lead to breast hypoplasia, which can then develop into agalactia or milk deterioration.

4. Don’t grow long nails, do manicures, or touch your breasts with your fingers. Nails that are too long can easily scratch the breast skin, and the chemical materials used in manicures can easily cause breast skin allergies.

5. Apply hot compresses to the breast area regularly to promote further development of the breast.

6. When cleaning the nipples, gently wipe off the tiny particles that are blocking the nipple opening. After cleaning, apply oil to the skin around the nipples and massage. This can effectively prevent breast skin cracking and increase skin elasticity.
