Sorry katie where it has your name l put the wrong name in it. So it shows your name when it's suppose to be my name Victoria.

l had that feeling too. What you are going through l went to my doctor at 6.5 they did a vaginal ultrsound and everything is ok with the baby. They even gave me a picture and saw the heart beat. l know what your feeling. The only time you will feel relief is when you finally go to your doctor and he say's everything is ok. The only thing you can do right now is pray and think positive. Keep me in touch to let me know . l will pray for you too

After one miscarriage, I thought I was facing into a second when at 5 weeks, breast tenderness faded away and all my symptoms were gone. I was afraid, and I wound up going to church, which felt really great after not having been in a while. I also tried to bring my life closer to God and started praying more regularly, i.e. not just because I wanted something. Well, I was expecting the worst, and sitting on the table in the doctor's office, where I waited for 45 minutes for her to come in at 6.5 weeks, zero symptoms. Also, my HCG levels weren't rising correctly. But I said a prayer again and felt strangely reassured. Anyway, she turned on the ultrasound and instantly detected a healthy heart beat just at the correct point of development. That seemed like my miracle.
Trust God and don't worry about breast tenderness fading at the 6 week point because it will come back not quite as strong and it doesn't imply miscarriage

thank you Victoria! I did go to the doctors, and she assured me that as early as 8 to 10 weeks, the symptoms of pregnancy can start to subside. She said I should feel lucky that I'm feeling better. Thank you for your kind words and support!!

I am nearing the end of my 8th week of pregnancy and have noticed that my breat tenderness has lessoned a great deal, although my nipples are still sore. I still have nausea and my breasts are most definatly larger. This is my first pregnancy and I may be just a bit of a worrier but I think that a call to the doctor is a good thing, to find out one way or that other. The worst is not knowing.

I have a question.I am due my baby on the 21st and in the last couple of days am experiencing pain and tenderness under my arms and into my brests.Last night I noticed swollen glands in my underarms.Is this normal???

My boobs have been so sore, I feel you could see them throbbing from outer space at 6-7 weeks yet now I have no tenderness. My sister is also pregnant and she has no breast tenderness. My tenderness is similar to yours and tends to be intermittent.

I am glad to read the responses that are posted by women that are going thru some of the same problems I am. I am almost 7 weeks pregnant and have loss of breast tenderness as well. I still have nausea but after having very full and sore breasts from 3 weeks on, I am a bit concerned. I have an appointment today with the nurse to address this concern as well as some spotting issues I have had the past couple of weeks. I really appreaciate Mary E's words on Nov 18th that say trust in God. In this instance, we have no control over what happens so all the worrying really can't change anything. I will post tomorrow what I learn at the doctors this afternoon.

Okay, I'm 11 weeks with a strong fetal heartbeat. I was paranoid because I had no breast tenderness week 5, then it came back week 6 for a little bit, gone again for a while...none for most of week 8, then back around week 10, but only late into the 10th week...so you get the idea. It can really come and go. If you're anxious, I'd say a prayer, which helped me a lot.


Victoria - December 18th, 2005 2:33 AM

l am 12 weeks pregnant and l bleed off and on. l went to my OB/GYN on Dec 16 and he told me everything was alright. l even heard the baby's heartbeat. He just told me not to do any lifting and if l get bad cramps to call him anytime of the day. As each day goes by and when l'm bleeding l get scare but it's not in my hand what happens it's in God's hand. All l can do is pray each day that everthing will be alright. l was worried something was wrong because l had a mini stroke 2 weeks ago l'm fine and glad the baby is too.

I am like all of you. I'm just now 6 weeks pregnant. My husband and I have been trying for almost 3 years. Two years ago, I had an ectopic pregnancy. My boobs hurt and were full and then all of a sudden they weren't. I started bleeding then too. This time, my breast pain comes and goes. It will be there for a couple days, and then fade. Right now, it seems to be really gone and I am of course in a tizzy. I just wish it would come back. No bleeding though. So I am thankful for that. Mary, I have prayed so hard for years. I still am.


KimmieB008 - January 9th, 2006 1:08 PM

I have a question. Hopefully...someone still reads this. I was wondering if you can have a pregnancy without tender breasts early on? I missed my period...am moody, nauseaus, and had spotting midmonth, etc. But no breast tenderness....let me know. Thanks


izzy1052 - January 9th, 2006 1:17 PM

my tenderness and soreness i noticed in the first month and a half of pregnancy.. thats kinda why i thought i was pregnant but around my 8th week my started to go away... i havent felt soreness or anything at all from them on and im 7th mths... some ppl just get lucky??


wb - January 9th, 2006 4:47 PM

I have had similar situations. My breasts are most tender during the night and when I wake up and the soreness subsides somewhat during the day. I am 8 weeks today and have an appointment this week. I will repost after talking to my doctor.


wb - January 9th, 2006 4:53 PM

I have another question. Is anyone else experiencing being cold all of the time in the first trimester? I am generally a very hot blooded person, and since I became pregnant-8 weeks-I am finding that I am cold all of the time. Just curious if anyone else has experienced this.
