From the first days of pregnancy, your breasts grow in volume, during the period it will grow even more. The load on the pectoral muscles and mammary glands is greatly increased, therefore it is necessary to support the breast with the help of a bra. If the old bra is small and you want to change the bra, then it should not be very big for the future, pay attention to its volume, material and straps. Do not use fabrics that stretch well, choose only dense materials that preserve and maintain the shape of the breast. The bra should fit snugly against the chest, not letting it fall. The straps are desirable to be wide, this will distribute the weight of the chest to the back, and they will not put pressure on the skin of the shoulders. Also, do not give up a tight bra during feeding. There are rumors that a narrow bra compresses the mammary glands, and you will not have enough milk. It's all fantasy, the amount of milk depends only on your body characteristics. Therefore, use only a dense bra of natural materials.
Secondly, every day, do a light massage of the breast using a moisturizing and skin firming cream, this will fix the skin of the breast and prevent dryness.
