During pregnancy, a woman's body goes through many changes.
Her breasts naturally become larger during pregnancy and reach their peak after birth, causing engorged breasts and during lactation.
Shortly after-more if she decides to breastfeed, her breasts were down to their smaller form.
All this stretch and shrink breaks down the connective tissues and ligaments that are responsible for bra.
The equate to a rubber band that has been stretched too many times.
Things you can do during pregnancy If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, you are no doubt worried about what will happen to your breasts.
You saw what happened to other women during pregnancy and in the months that follow, you concern for your own body.
If you are pregnant, you should start taking care of your breasts now to avoid breaking down the supporting tissues.
Below are three things you can do during your pregnancy.
- Give your breasts a lot of support by wearing the right bra
Never try to sneak in an old bra.
Even if you can afford a couple of new bras, make the investment.
Never leave your heavier breasts without support.
You may even have to wear a sports bra or something at night to keep your breasts from hanging free.
- Watch your weight during pregnancy
The faster you put on the weight, the more pressure you put on your breasts.
Ideally, you should only gain 25 to 35 pounds during pregnancy.
- Moisturize your breasts regularly
Expand your moisturizer routing and include your breasts.
You can use the same cocoa butter, your facial moisturizer, lotion or ordinary breast-firming product like Brestrogen.
Massage your breasts with daily moisturizer.
Activities after pregnancy Once you have given birth, your breasts go through immediate and radical changes.
About a week after birth, breast stretch under the weight of milk-producing glands swollen.
Even if you do not breastfeed, you can expect major changes in the breast during the first months after birth.
Here are three things you should do to get back to your old perky self.
- Review your bra inventory again
Always wear a good bra that fits you.
Do not cut corners.
If it is too small or too large, do not wear it.
Do not go without a bra either.
- Remove the pregnancy weight slowly
If you can, great.
If you can not, do not push it.
Let the weight comes off slowly by following a healthy diet with moderate exercise.
- Tone up your pectoral muscles
Strengthen these through weight lifting to create a solid platform for your breasts to rest.
It takes time for your body and your breasts back in shape as before pregnancy.
Be patient.
The connective tissues of your breasts will shrink, resulting perkier breasts, but it will not happen overnight.
In the meantime, give your breasts a lot of support by wearing a good bra.
