What if I have milk in the seventh month of pregnancy?

Many pregnant women often see milk on their breasts during pregnancy. This is also what we often call milk overflow. There are normal and abnormal milk overflow, but this phenomenon is often due to physiological factors. If it is physiological, then most of the time it will be relieved in a few days, and it will not cause any harm to the body. However, if it is pathological, it should be taken seriously. So what is the matter with milk in the breasts when you are seven months pregnant?

In the early stages of pregnancy, pregnant women will definitely experience breast engorgement, and around seven or eight months of pregnancy, colostrum will be secreted. At this time, pregnant women should start cleaning and caring for their breasts.

Breast care is important

Breast cleaning and care is a very important task. It not only keeps the breasts, nipples, areolas and other parts clean and hygienic, but also helps prevent milk duct blockage and relieve breast pain. Applying a hot towel to the breasts can greatly prevent breast lumps, keep the mammary glands unobstructed, and facilitate milk secretion; gently massaging the breasts is also beneficial to lactation.

Breasts are natural milk processing plants, and milk is the best food for babies. If the breasts are not well protected, the baby's food sources will be limited. In order for the baby to grow healthily, the mother should take good care of her breasts and nipples from the beginning of pregnancy and be fully prepared for breastfeeding.

——If you are sure you are pregnant, the expectant mother should put away tight tops and bras to avoid compressing the breasts and affecting the normal development of the mammary glands, thus affecting the breastfeeding of the child. You should choose underwear that is soft and sweat-absorbent, preferably made of pure cotton.

--After 5 to 6 months of pregnancy, scrub the nipples frequently with soap and warm water to make the nipple epidermis proliferate, become thicker and more elastic. After scrubbing, apply a layer of oil on the nipples and areola to prevent cracking. Otherwise, nipple rupture may occur during breastfeeding.

——If the nipple is inverted, try to correct it. After scrubbing clean, you can do nipple stretching exercises. The specific method is: first place the two thumbs parallely on both sides of the nipple, slowly pull from the nipple to the outside on both sides, pull the areola skin and subcutaneous tissue to make the nipple protrude outward, and repeat many times; then place the thumbs of both hands on the upper and lower sides of the nipple respectively, pull vertically from the nipple upward, and repeat many times. Do this exercise twice a day for 5 minutes each time.

-- Perform breast massage twice a day in the later stages of pregnancy to promote breast development. The massage method is: the pregnant woman sits down, gently massages around the breasts with the palms of both hands for 1 to 3 minutes, and then gently grasps and rubs the breasts with five fingers 10 to 20 times.

The above is the reason why milk appears in the breasts during the seventh month of pregnancy. The appearance of milk is also caused by the fact that the pregnant woman did not add good nutrition during pregnancy. If this is the case, then pregnant women should pay special attention to nutrition during pregnancy. They should eat more foods with high protein content. This phenomenon will also occur when the body is weak. If the body is weak, you can eat black chicken stewed with red dates to help pregnant women improve the phenomenon of qi deficiency.
