How Can You Support Your Breasts During Pregnancy

During pregnancy, it is certain that the breasts get swollen and bigger to the extent that it discomforts. Putting on a supportive bra during pregnancy helps you greatly to gain your comfort back, most especially bra without wire or maternity (mother care) bra helps you remain comfortable even at night.

Exercise during pregnancy requires a strong and supportive exercise bra especially if your breasts have grown a cup size or two. Some women end up wearing two or more bras to reduce their discomfort especially during exercise but that I think is not the best.

When you find out that your breasts returns to their normal pre-pregnancy size and at times smaller than before, do not panic for it is the normal process and a common side effect of pregnancy. It is pregnancy that causes all these changes that occur in the breast instead of breastfeeding.

Though, wearing of bras makes one feel comfortable during pregnancy, you have to look for a supportive bra that will allow a little room for breasts growth because your breast will likely grow larger when your milk comes in during the first few days after pregnancy.

If you plan to exercise during pregnancy you'll also want a strong and supportive exercise bra, particularly if your breasts have grown a cup size or two. Some women resort to wearing two bras to reduce their discomfort while exercising. Most women will survive on two or three bras during pregnancy and thereafter. You may find you need to have a couple of different sizes handy as your breasts grow, change and develop during and after your pregnancy.

Most women find their breasts return to their pre-pregnancy size and sometimes a bit smaller after pregnancy. This is perfectly normal and a common side effect of pregnancy, not breastfeeding. It is pregnancy rather than breastfeeding that actually causes all of these changes to occur in the breasts.
