Eve 1.Teeth
Reason: Taking care of your teeth after pregnancy is even more important than usual. Hormonal changes in your body after pregnancy may cause your gums to swell slightly, making them more likely to bleed when brushing, and making them more susceptible to bacteria.
Care measures:
●Brush your teeth at least twice a day, making sure you brush for three minutes each time, preferably after meals.
●Use a health-care toothbrush, preferably one with soft bristles, to prevent gum bleeding； Replace your toothbrush every three months.
●Choose toothpaste that contains fluoride to inhibit bacteria. Try to avoid using toothpaste containing pharmaceutical ingredients and low-quality off-brand toothpaste.
●Rinse your mouth after meals and snacks, and use dental floss to remove plaque and food debris from adjacent teeth.
●Go to the dentist regularly before and during pregnancy to detect problems in time.
2. Breasts
Reason: Around 40 days into pregnancy, the placenta and villi secrete a large amount of estrogen, progesterone, and prolactin, causing the mammary glands to enlarge and produce breasts. distended pain , 3 to 4 months into pregnancy, most people’s breasts have begun to enlarge. In addition to slight pain, lumps may occasionally be felt. In addition, varicose veins will continue to appear just below the breast epidermis, and the nipple color will become darker.
Care measures:
●Wear bras that are supportive enough but don't squeeze your nipples tightly. If you plan to breastfeed, you should start caring for your breasts during pregnancy so that you can successfully breastfeed after delivery.
●Wash your areola and nipples frequently with mild soap and water skin , and scrub the skin folds clean. The main purpose of doing this is to maintain breast hygiene, and also make the skin gradually become strong and wear-resistant, so that it can withstand the baby's sucking in the future.
●Massage your breasts properly after bathing. After cleaning the areola and nipple each time, apply a hot towel to the breast and gently press it with your hands. Use your fingertips to gently massage in circles around the breast. ； Press the edge of the areola with your thumb and index finger, and then squeeze gently with two fingers.
●Pay attention to a suitable sleeping position when sleeping. The prone position can easily squeeze the breasts, impede blood circulation, and cannot ensure the delivery of hormones that promote breast development, thus affecting breast development.
●There is no need to use moisturizer between 28 and 36 weeks. After colostrum appears, pregnant mothers can squeeze out a small amount of milk after bathing and apply it on the skin around the nipples. It forms a thin film after drying, and its moisturizing effect is better than any skin care product.
