I am in my 8th week of pregnancy and notice that the soreness and tenderness in my breasts is fading away. It was pretty noticeable from about week 4 onward, but now it's much less noticeable. I still have tiredness and frequent urination.

I am two weeks away from an appointment and want to know if I should be worried, or does this symptom (soreness) normally fade away?

Thanks

The tenderness can last the entire pregnancy and go away right at the end or it could go away early. With my first 2 children it went away in the beginning but with this one, it stayed until the end. Im due tomorrow and i dont notice it. I was afraid that i wouldnt be able to breastfeed but now im not worried. Thank God!!

It's normal, it doesn't always go away, but I know I was sore for the first couple a months & then it was like nothing until the last few months & they are sore again, be thankful when it goes away, cause I couldn't imagine being sore the entire time, I'm due today & trust me come near the end they will be sore again because they're getting prepared .. Good Luck =)

I am in my seventh week and I am noticing the same thing. My right breast is still a little sore but they're not as bad as they were.

My boobs have been sore off and on since 5 weeks and I'm now 6.3

I have been pregnant a grand total of 6 times now. The first two I miscarried. I am now pregnant with my fourth, about 9 weeks. I to had sore breasts for about a week, from like week 7-8 & now its just gone away, I'm a bit worried because this has never happend in all my previous pregnancies. I'm not at all sure if its normal.

I had the same thing. My breasts very extremely tender from about week four to 6. Then it almost completly disappeared. I was very concerned and am glad to hear everyones responses. I am now 7 weeks and can feel slight tenderness, but not like it was. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.

I am experiencing the exact same thing. I am 7.4 weeks pregnant! Last week it hurt to wear a shirt but this week there is hardly any soreness at all. I was just hoping it wasn't a sign of an upcoming miscarriage. I feel a little better after reading about others with the same problem.

I'm 4.2 wks. and my breast hurt last week and now they quit hurting. I'm scared to death I'm going to miscarry because I did with my first pregnancy. I'm not that tired or nauseaed anymore either.

I am 5 weeks pregnant. I have found that my breasts were sore for a few days, then not for a couple. It seems to go on and off. Very worried that something is wrong due to [revious miscarriage at 6.2 weeks

I actually have a question. I have been off the depo for about 9 months now. My period was irregular for like the first 6 months. I really want to have another baby now! For the past 4 to 5 months I have had a period ranging from 5 days to 2 weeks. My breast has been sore for about two whole months. It gets even worse once I took off my bra. However all of my pregnancy tests have come back neg. I dont know when to expect another period because it ranges from 32 to 21 days apart. My husband and I are having sex like crazy. I want sex atleast 2 to 3 times a day. I cant get enough. Does anyone know what is going on. And oh-- I have ghained about 25 pounds and everyone is asking me am I preg. but this could be from the weight gain. HELP!!!

im experiencing the same thing. around the 4th week, and now 6 weeks. i had terrible back ache and my breasts were very sore and also big, they are now less painful and have gone back to normal size, i guess like evryone is saying its normal

I had sore breasts for a couple of days in my 5th week, and around the 6th wk it dramatically decreased, as did my tiredness. I called an advice nurse at my hospital who basically started grief counseling for miscarriage with me based on these symptoms, and she ordered serial beta HCGs. The hcg tests so far are normal, with doubling every two days, and a quick ultrasound identified a fetal pole and sac. No heartbeat yet. Not sure what this all means, but it is a bit reassuring to know that others have had variation in their breast tenderness.

I am 6.6 weeks pregnant and my breast tenderness abruptly disappeared yesterday as did my nausea and fatigue. I am waiting for my doctor to call me back...I am a bit worried but it sounds like many have had this same experience.


Christine - August 11th, 2005 12:59 PM

I had really bad breast tenderness, slight queasiness, and abdominal pains up until 3 days agao. Im now in my 7th week and it went away all of a sudden. I hope everything is okay. My doctor wont see me until the 10th week. Does anyone know or have any advice for me?


Dips - August 15th, 2005 6:24 PM

I am 6 weeks pregnant now, starting 7th week tomorrow yesterday I noticed that the breast sorness diminished and I stopped spotting this week. Last week my Dr checked that my hormone is not quite as much doubling every 2 days, but he did find a heart beat last week which was mid 6 week. But I am just very nervous I hope the baby is alright. Does any one have any input/experience.
