Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Engorgement, which is caused by vasocongestion, usually resolves within a few days. Meanwhile, a supportive bra, ice packs, and mild analgesics help relieve discomfort. Stimulation of the breast such as pumping the milk will cause additional milk production.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Striae gravidarum (stretch marks) gradually fade and become less noticeable, but they do not disappear completely.
