One of the major concerns of a woman who is pregnant is her sagging breasts. Unfortunately the problem of sagging breasts is mostly considered to be genetic. Also when the age of a woman increases, the breast tissues tend to sag. But this does not indicate that it is not possible to slow down or prevent the sagging of breasts.

A drastic change is observed by a number of women in their breasts after pregnancy. During the time when a woman is pregnant the size of the breasts increases as they are filled with milk to provide nourishment to the baby. It is recognised by many women that, the shape of their breasts has changed quite a lot and they have become a lot less perky.

There are a number of ways in which a woman can keep her breasts perky and prevent them from sagging for quite a long duration of time. Following are some of the tips through which a woman can get her breasts back into shape:

Supportive undergarments
It is always advisable to wear such undergarments that are supportive at the time of your pregnancy. Even before you give birth to a baby, the process to protect the sagging of breasts begins. As the period of pregnancy progresses, the size of the breasts will increase. Larger bras should be purchased for this purpose.

Monitor weight gain
The gain in weight should be constantly monitored during pregnancy. Gain in weight between 25 -30 pounds is perfectly all right for a healthy weight woman at the time she gets pregnant. An underweight woman should gain a little more weight and similarly an overweight woman who gets pregnant should gain a little less weight.

Moisturize your skin
The skin should be kept well moisturized. If the skin is moisturized properly, then it would help the skin to stay pliable and it would become a bit easier for the skin to rebound after stretching. A number of lotions and creams are designed specifically for pregnant women.

Lose weight slowly
The pregnancy weight should be lost at a rate which is moderate. It may be very tempting to lose the extra pounds pretty quickly but the slow weight loss has numerous benefits. It also helps in enhancing the skin’s look.

Lift weights
Weights should be lifted so as to provide strength to muscles supporting the back as well as the chest. Exercising is one of the best ways to relieve stress as well as lose weight. Another added advantage of exercising is that muscles supporting breast tissue are strengthened.

Breast lift surgery
The surgery can be considered by women who experience a large sagging of breasts. This cosmetic surgery removes excessive skin from the breasts and also some of the underlying breast tissues so as to restructure as well as lift them. It results into the repositioning of the tissues which have been lifted and provides a more firm look to the breasts.

Breast augmentation
It is preferred by women when they have decided not to give birth to a child anymore. This is because of the fact that breast augmentation affects the ability of breastfeeding of a woman and also leads to breast milk complications.
Thus, these are some of the points which can help a woman improve her breasts after giving birth to a child. Besides these tips a proper diet is a must so as to keep the body healthy and provide the skin with a firmer look.
