๐ธ How Your Breasts Change During Pregnancy ๐ธ
Your body is amazing! During pregnancy, your breasts transform to prepare for feeding your baby.
Here's what to expect:
๐ Tenderness or heightened sensitivity
๐ Growth spurt (hello, new bra size!)
๐ Changes in colour of the ni***es and ar**la
๐ Montgomery glands become more visible (those tiny little raised bumps)
๐ By week 16, your breasts might start producing colostrum, a nutrient-packed fluid for your baby ๐
As your due date approaches, the changes continue, and your breasts might feel heavy or sore. A well-fitting bra can make a world of differenceโwear one day and night if it helps!
๐ค Being breast aware during and after pregnancy is so important. Take time to get familiar with how your breasts look and feel. Knowing whatโs normal for you helps you notice any unusual changes with confidence. If you feel pain, discomfort, or notice anything that doesnโt feel right, donโt hesitate to speak to your GP or midwifeโtheyโre there to help.
