Do nipples get bigger during early pregnancy?

Women will gradually discover some subtle changes in their bodies after becoming pregnant, and will experience nausea and vomiting, which is the symptom of morning sickness, in the early stages of pregnancy. In addition, the breasts begin to swell and the areola will deepen. In many women, the nipples will also become larger as the breasts grow larger. These are all normal physiological reactions during pregnancy. This article introduces the symptoms of early pregnancy. If you want to know more, let’s take a look.

After one month of pregnancy, expectant mothers usually experience symptoms of morning sickness, and their breasts also begin to change, such as the nipples becoming darker and the blood vessels just below the breasts becoming more and more obvious. Around the 3rd to 4th month of pregnancy, some pregnant women's breasts begin to grow larger. In addition to slight pain, they may occasionally feel lumps. This is due to the development of the mammary glands and increased hormone secretion. Varicose veins will continue to appear just below the epidermis of the breast, and the color of the nipples will become darker. These are all normal physiological phenomena during pregnancy.

2. Early symptoms of pregnancy

1. Menopause

The most significant change that occurs when a woman becomes pregnant is the cessation of menstruation. For healthy women of childbearing age who have sexual life, if their menstruation is regular, if their menstruation does not come as expected, they should consider whether they are pregnant. If the menstruation is amenorrhea for more than 10 days, pregnancy should be highly suspected.

2. Early pregnancy reaction

Many women will experience the so-called "early pregnancy reaction" after 6 weeks of pregnancy, which manifests as chills, dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness, poor appetite, preference for acidic foods, aversion to greasy foods, vomiting in the morning, etc. Women may also experience frequent urination during pregnancy, which is caused by the enlarged uterus pressing on the bladder in front.

3. Breast changes

A woman's breasts may also undergo some changes during pregnancy. For example, breast enlargement and swelling, obvious veins on the breast surface, enlarged nipples, darker coloration of the nipples and areola, and some dark brown nodules around the areola. Some women become pregnant during breastfeeding and when their menstruation has not yet resumed, which often causes a decrease in milk production.

4. Vaginal bleeding

Some women will experience vaginal bleeding after their menstruation is delayed for a period of time. This is not necessarily menstruation, but may be abnormal pregnancy, such as abnormal bleeding caused by miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. At this time, you must go to the hospital for a check-up.
