What causes breast changes for pregnant woman?

- During pregnancy, the breasts change in size and appearance. The increase in size is because of the effects of estrogen and progesterone. Estrogen stimulates the growth of mammary ductal tissue and progesterone promotes the growth of lobes, lobules, and alveoli. A delicate network of veins is often visible just beneath the surface of the skin.
