Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What changes do breasts undergo after a woman becomes pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Starting a few weeks after pregnancy, you may feel breast swelling, even some pain, and occasionally squeezing the nipple may produce thick, pale yellow colostrum. In the second month of pregnancy, the breasts gradually swell, becoming very soft, and due to the enlargement of the mammary glands, lumps similar to nodules may appear on the breasts. Next, the veins under the breast skin become more prominent. The nipples also gradually enlarge, and the areola color deepens daily due to increased pigmentation, with the protrusion of the nipples becoming more noticeable.
