The nipples also grow and become sensitive, darker and darker
throughout the pregnancy, and acquire a dark brown color. Nothing is applied to
remove or reduce this darkening, the color will return to normal when the
hormones return to normal when pregnancy ends.
A small amount of milk may come from the nipples during
pregnancy. This starting milk called colostrum is clear or yellowish. If bloody
fluid comes from the nipples, you should immediately contact your doctor. Small
protrusions form on the nipples (Montgomery tubercles), these protrusions
secrete oil to help maintain nipple health. You should only rinse with water
without cleaning this area with soap.
Drying and pain may occur in the nipples. In this case, it
can be cleaned with warm water and suitable moisturizing creams can be applied.
Is breast
growth or nipple color related to gender?
There are false beliefs among the public in some regions.
Images such as the breasts getting more or less enlarged, the nipples darkening
more or less, and darkening are not related to the sex of the baby, whether it
is a boy or a girl. Changes in breasts or abdomen, throughout the body, are
similar in male or female sex. It is impossible to predict the gender of the
baby by looking at the external image changes in the mother's body.
When does
growth, pain, and darkening begin in the breasts:
During pregnancy, breast growth, swelling, sensitization,
pain, and pain usually begin from the first months. The nipple darkening
generally occurs in the later months, in some it starts around the 3rd month
and in others it starts towards the last months. Growing breasts or changing
nipple colors is not an indication of the course of pregnancy or the health of
the baby.
There is a
mass in the breast and blood coming from the nipple:
These are not normal changes during pregnancy. Conditions
such as stiffness of the breast in hand or mass in the armpit while pregnant,
red-brown discharge from the nipple, blood in the urgent condition require
urgent medical examination.
