BREAST CHANGES
• Marked changes take place in the breasts.
• The changes are more obvious in
primigravidae than in multiparae.
• The breasts increase in size and sensitiveness,
and bluish discoloration appears in the form of
streaks.
• The nipple becomes more erectile with the
areola more deeply pigmented.
• Prominent tubercles, Montgomery's follicles
appear in the primary areola.
• About the fifth month a less pigmented area
forms around the primary areola, which is known
as the secondary areola and on this also some
Montgomery's tubercles may be seen.
• After the first trimester, a little clear, sticky fluid
may be expressed from the nipples, which later
becomes yellowish in color. This is known as
colostrums.
