After working overtime for three consecutive days on New Year’s Day, the author turned on the TV to watch Wu Meiniang for recreation based on the principle of “not using excessive brain during pregnancy”. Only the magnificent [career line] disappeared and became a [big head TV series]!
Wu Meiniang, if you cut or not, your chest is there. As a expectant mother, the author knows very well that the chest is very different when pregnant or infertile. The nursing of the enlarged [chest apparatus] during pregnancy must not be ignored.
After pregnancy, a woman’s breast will indeed become larger, as if experiencing [secondary development]. Specifically, it will feel breast swelling, tenderness, sensitivity to stimulation, nipple will also become larger, easy erection, in addition, areola will also become black, and there are many small particle-like bulges on the areola.
As gestational weeks progress, this feeling will become more and more obvious.
The enlargement of breasts during pregnancy is due to hormones.
After entering pregnancy, the body will be affected by various hormones, including prolactin, placental lactin, estrogen, progesterone, growth hormone and insulin… Under the influence of these hormones, breast ducts and acini will proliferate, fat will deposit, and varicose veins will continue to appear under the breast epidermis, thus a series of changes mentioned above have taken place.
In addition, it should be noted that the breast size and volume before pregnancy have nothing to do with postpartum milk secretion. It is not that the larger the [granary], the more food there will be.

No matter how big the breast is during pregnancy, it cannot squeeze [career line]
After pregnancy, can you still [squeeze] out of the career line like Wu Mei’s women?
Generally speaking, the breasts begin to grow continuously from about 8 weeks of pregnancy. By the second trimester of pregnancy, it was basically [choppy].
At this time, not only can’t squeeze, but also wear ordinary corset is not suitable, but should start to wear larger [special underwear for pregnant women]. Especially in summer when the weather is hot, it is more appropriate to wear soft, breathable and comfortable pure cotton underwear.
In addition, affected by hormone level changes, expectant mothers’ body temperature is generally higher than the basic level, easy to sweat, if heat dissipation is not good, it is easy to sweat sores. In the middle and late pregnancy, breast massage and nipple care can also be properly carried out, which will be conducive to postpartum milk secretion.
In the third trimester of pregnancy, breast and acini will proliferate extremely, and milk secretion can be seen by gently squeezing nipples. At this time, [anti-spillover patch] can also be placed in the bra.
Will the [career line] disappear after childbirth?
Theoretically, at the end of lactation, with the hormone level falling back, breast acinar tissue will rapidly shrink and collapse due to lack of hormone stimulation.
After that, with the end of lactation, breast size will slowly return to the level before pregnancy.
However, due to hormone changes in some people, blackened nipples cannot completely return to their original color.
In short, for most mothers, the chest will shrink to a certain extent after lactation, which is very normal and need not worry too much.
By that time, the author will also prefer the tack version of Wu Meiniang.
