How to do breast massage during pregnancy

Pregnant women actually have a very hard time during pregnancy. Don’t think that pregnant women just have to eat and drink all day and then sleep. In fact, it is very hard. They have to stay in the same environment every day and basically cannot do some large movements. I wonder if you have heard of breast massage during pregnancy, what is the specific operation?

1. Place one hand horizontally on the other breast, and press the other hand on it. Overlap your hands and push the breast towards the center of the chest for massage.

2. Place the fingers of both hands together and place them diagonally below the breast. Vibrate the entire breast from the base of the breast, and then use both hands to push and massage the breast diagonally upward.

3. Lift the breasts from below and push them upwards with both hands.

Warm reminder: When performing the above massage, you must hold the entire breast with both hands, and the movement should be large. It will be effective if you feel the breast lump disappearing from the pectoralis major muscle. However, it is strictly forbidden to knead randomly to avoid injuring the breast.

Nipple massage

1. Wash your hands and use soapy water to scrub the outside of the nipple in a circular motion to the base of the breast (collarbone), washing the left and right breasts separately. Avoid washing the nipples with soap to avoid removing the protective oil on the outer layer, and pay attention to cleaning the scabs.

2. After cleaning, hold the breasts with your hands, and use your middle finger and index finger to massage from the base of the breast under the clavicle towards the nipple. Use your thumb and index finger to knead the nipple to increase its toughness.

3. When massaging, use the thumbs and index fingers of both hands to massage from the base of the breast towards the nipple, twice a day, 20 times each time.

Warm tip: You can use a blunt-tooth comb to gently comb from the base of the breast to the nipple, which can also keep the mammary ducts unobstructed and facilitate postpartum breastfeeding. For hot compress massage, use a clean towel dipped in warm water, and wipe in a circular motion from the center of the nipple toward the areola. Apply hot compress on both sides alternately, for 15 minutes on each side.

After reading the above introduction, I believe everyone has a basic understanding of this process. Those who are interested can try it at home. This is actually very good for pregnant women and is very good for physical health. However, at the same time, pregnant women should still get adequate nutritional supplements, which is best.
