Sore breasts: how sore?

Okay, so I know I know I'm just looking for something to worry about, but worried I am.....
I had really sore breasts for a few days before doing at pregnancy test at what I think was 4+5, but since then they have only been slightly tender when I really touch them. Is this normal? I'm getting really paranoid as I just read that decreased tenderness is the most common sign of mmc. Still experiencing waves of nausea and have constant indigestion, so probably shouldn't be worrying, but can't help it.
Anyone else experienced lessening of soreness this early (think I am now 5+3)
Thanks

For me it seems to vary from day to day and hour to hour. I'm nearly 15 weeks and I'm pretty sure they were much more painful at the start. Have done lots of poking and prodding along the way!

If you're concerned about a mmc, perhaps you could do one of those CB digital pregnancy tests which tell you how many weeks pregnant you are, and then do it again a week or two later to see if your hcg is increasing.

Good luck!

Symptoms do fade in & out regardless of the health/development of the baby unfortunately. I swing from bad nausea & some vomiting one day to barely noticing it another. I also had REALLY tender breasts with DD but this time, they're tender when touched but nowhere near as bad (last time it hurt when they bounced when walking...) I definitely felt a bit more tender before they actually got bigger thus time iyswim, but now I'm in the larger, softer bras, I don't notice it so much.

Congrats & good luck. It's probably normal, if there is such a thing in pregnancy!! :)

Mine comes and goes. It's worst around the time I would usually be due on, but some days they feel completely fine

When I was pg with dd my boobs were incredibly sore from the very beginning it seemed, certainly from before I knew I was pg. And they were huge.

This time my boobs are just a little bit sore occasionally and my nipples are more sensitive than usual. And they haven't grown at all, which I'm not impressed about. I liked my big pregnancy boobs last time! Grin

Thanks for all your reassurances. Glad to know symptoms vary for other people too.

I found that for the first few weeks my boobs were really sore, then they became much more bearable. They're now getting really sore again (19 weeks) Its perfectly normal x

Comes and goes - am 39+1 - but the sorest they were was a couple of days before my positive test when I had to go to buy a non-underwired bra at lunchtime as they were so tender!
