Areola enlargement during early pregnancy

Many people know that during pregnancy, the body will experience some reactions that have never happened before. Most of them will occur in the early stages of pregnancy, such as amenorrhea, swollen breasts during pregnancy, nausea and vomiting. In fact, these symptoms are normal reactions. Many female friends will experience them during pregnancy, and they will be alleviated after the early pregnancy period. So, what should you do if your areola becomes larger in early pregnancy?

First, what should I do if my areola becomes larger in early pregnancy? During pregnancy and lactation, pigmentation deepens and becomes dark brown. This is normal and you don't need to worry too much. It will heal after you give birth. After pregnancy, a woman's breasts become larger and her areola also becomes larger and darker. This is because under the stimulation of sex hormones, prolactin and progesterone, the mammary glands begin to proliferate, and the areola enlarges and has pigmentation due to the increase in sebaceous glands. During the entire pregnancy, the color of the areola will become darker and continue after pregnancy. The size of the areola also varies from person to person. Women should face this change with a normal attitude. After the breastfeeding period, the areola will become smaller and lighter, but it may not return to its original appearance.

Second, some pregnant women choose various bleaching methods for fear that their areola will become dark and ugly. This practice not only easily damages the breasts, but is also not conducive to breastfeeding in the future. Therefore, pregnant women only need to do daily cleaning and care of their nipples. You can choose to apply vegetable oil to the nipples to soften the dirt and scabs on the surface of the nipples, and then wash the nipples with soap and hot water to ensure cleanliness. Nipple discoloration is indeed a very scary thing. Although only my husband and I can see this private part, it is still quite annoying. The darkening of the areola during pregnancy is the most natural physiological phenomenon. After pregnancy, the estrogen level in the pregnant woman's body will gradually increase, stimulating breast development. Therefore, the breasts of most pregnant mothers will become larger and their nipples will also become larger. It is normal for the cup size to increase by one or two levels.

What to do if your areola becomes larger during early pregnancy? The power of estrogen during pregnancy not only makes the areola of pregnant women turn darker, but also makes the nipples larger. In addition, the breasts have already grown larger due to the stimulation of estrogen, just like blowing up a balloon, and they suddenly become several sizes larger, giving people a very strange feeling. You can wipe the nipples once a day with a wipe and a clean towel to clean the secretions and scabs accumulated on the nipples. Then you can apply a little baby oil on the surface of the nipples. This can enhance the skin's elasticity and ability to accept stimulation. After cleaning the breasts, you can hold the breasts with your hands, and massage from the clavicle to the base of the breast with your middle finger and index finger towards the nipple, and knead the nipple with your thumb and index finger to increase nipple toughness. When massaging, use your thumb and index finger to massage from the base of the breast towards the nipple, twice a day, twenty times each time.
