Do women's breasts grow during pregnancy?

Pregnancy is of great significance to women, but in life there are some women who cannot get pregnant due to various reasons. There are also some women who are already pregnant but don’t know it. Many women think that as long as menstruation stops, it means they are pregnant. In fact, this idea is incorrect. The real symptoms of pregnancy are cessation of menstruation, nausea and vomiting, etc. So, will a woman’s breasts grow during pregnancy? Let us find out below.

First, will a woman's breasts grow during pregnancy? After a woman becomes pregnant, under the combined stimulation of estrogen and progesterone, her breasts gradually grow larger, the color of her nipples and areola deepens, and dark brown nodules appear around her nipples. After 12 weeks, a small amount of clear milk will be secreted. Women usually begin to feel breast swelling and even some pain a few weeks after pregnancy, and occasionally squeezing the nipples will produce sticky, yellowish colostrum. When entering the second month of pregnancy, the breasts gradually swell and become very soft, and due to the hypertrophy of the mammary glands, lump-like things will grow on the breasts. Then, the blood vessels under the skin of the breast become noticeably prominent. The nipples will gradually become larger, the areola color will become darker due to increased pigmentation, and the nipples will become more prominent. Many women's breasts will change after pregnancy. Generally, they will become larger, but the specific amount of increase will vary from person to person. After the pregnancy begins, women should pay attention to breast care so that they can recover their figure and breastfeed after delivery.

Second, generally speaking, pregnancy reactions will only occur on the 35th or 36th day of pregnancy (the number of days of pregnancy is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period). Nausea, vomiting, etc. are all early signs of pregnancy. If you find these symptoms, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis. If you are confirmed to be pregnant, you should take timely measures to protect the fetus.

Third, menstruation stops. This is the most common symptom of pregnancy that most people notice. As long as a woman has normal menstruation, she may be pregnant if she has sexual intercourse for more than two weeks after the normal menstrual period. But not having a period does not necessarily mean pregnancy. There are many reasons for not having a period. Certain diseases, or the effects of mental, environmental, climatic factors, and the use of drugs such as contraceptives can also cause endocrine dysfunction in women and sudden amenorrhea. In addition, after conception, as the fetus grows and develops in the uterus, many corresponding changes will occur in other parts of the mother's body, resulting in a series of early pregnancy information. Pregnant women can also judge whether they are pregnant from these signs.
