Explanation:
During pregnancy, a woman's body undergoes several changes. One such change is breast enlargement as a result of breast milk production. During this time, women should take some care that will allow their breasts to return to normal with the same appearance, softness and smoothness.
One of these precautions is related to the type of bra that should be worn. During this period, the bra should support the breasts, with wider, preferably cotton, straps that are more comfortable. This type of bra has to be worn continuously until the breasts become soft again.
