Breasts no longer sore at 6.5w. Terrified

44 replies

Hello ladies,

I've cried my eyes out today as I've noticed my breasts are no longer sore. Saturday they hurt so bad it felt like they were about to explode. But for the last 2 days...nada! I keep checking/poking/squeezing them, they no longer feel heavy nor tender.
This has happened before with my previous 2 mmc and that is why I am so worried now.
I am 6w5d today.
Can those that had succesful pregnancies please share their experience? Is this normal?
I am terrified that it's happening again Sad

My pregnancy symptoms waxed and waned. Some days awful and then a few days of nothing. I even had a heavy bleed that lasted 8 days. Baby was fine. I was a wreck.
Try not to 2nd guess what is going on as you will drive yourself mad.

You sound terribly upset, so it might be worth speaking to a friendly gp about your concerns rather than dwelling on them alone.

Don't be. It's normal. They will probably start up again tomorrow or they may not. The whole conception - when the baby starts kicking phase is very stressful. I lost count of huge days I was convinced it was all over as my symptoms had gone. Sometimes for days on end. In the end you've just got to reassure yourself that unless you're doubled over with cramp with red blood pouring out of you - you're very likely to be totally fine. I've had a few miscarriages and am now on 33 weeks of a pregnancy and there was no difference in those early days between the ones the didn't work out and this one. I suggest you eat some crisps and enjoy the time when you're harbouring your little secret x

I had exactly the same thing happening with DC1 - massively sore boobs disappeared overnight, also around 6 weeks. Everything was fine though.

nojaffacakes · 15/12/2014 16:33

I also had this happen with my current pregnancy. I had tingly sore breasts until the day after i did a pregnancy test - about 5.5 weeks. Then the tingliness disappeared and never came back. I am now 13 weeks and have had a number of scans which show there is a baby growing in there.
Try not to worry - i know it's easy to say and hard to do. i worried myself sick and even posted on here! Good luck - i hope everything works out ok.

Don't worry! When I was pregnant at that stage I was on additional progesterone so my boobs should have been as sore as hell. They felt fine. Everyone is different.

Don't worry about anything like that - it's easier said than done but please just try to relax and enjoy this time.

I'm 21 weeks and my symptoms are up and down. One minute my nipples are so itchy I run to the loo at work, fling off my dress and bra so I can rub them! The next minute I don't feel pregnant at all (other than looking like I have eaten a lot of pies!).

Some days I can barely touch food, and other days I want all of the food! Everyone is different. My doctor said to me that you won't know what is 'normal' for you until you have your second baby.

Burmama · 16/12/2014 13:53

Just wanted to say that my breasts did exactly the same thing. Got really big and sore for about a week around 5 weeks and then pretty much went back to normal until almost end of second trimester when they got big again. Almost 34 weeks now and they're massive. Try not to worry - your body gets a massive hormone surge right at the beginning and then evens itself out a bit. Congrats on your BFP! Smile

Thank you all for taking the time to reassure me. Everyone is so kind here Flowers
Love it how you say they're massive now Smile
I always looked forward to being pregnant hoping I'll get the same with mine as I'm normally half a cup A Blush
I now get a little twinge in my breasts from time to time but otherwise not much activity there.

Brilliant. I didn't have ANY boob symptoms until well after my first trimester.

Shalene2021 · 08/10/2020 17:29

I am 6 weeks pregnant my symptoms come and go my breasts will be sore a bit one minute then the next nothing have no morning sickness eat what I can have nausea comes and goes just worried my scan is next week

Kylie31 · 28/11/2020 06:06

Hey shalene2021! just seen your recent comment! I’m also 6 weeks and having a major panic as I’ve lost all soreness in my boobs and I don’t feel pregnant at all. I haven’t had any sickness or nausea just extremely sore boobs and unusual heartburn and indigestion. I had a few days of feeling like I’d done an ab workout but was muscle ache not cramping.. but now my boobs feel fine I’m totally freaking out 😫😢!! (It’s my first!)
Did you say you’re having an early scan? How do you go about that? I feel like I’ve pestered the dr about stuff already, don’t know if this is something to ask about!! Xx

Lisabailey124 · 13/12/2020 16:31

Hi @Kylie31. I booked my scan through a company called precious glimpse. I’m currently 6 weeks and my private scan is on 22nd December. Google private scan clinics near you. I’m the same my symptoms come and go and worried I’m having miscarriages after having 2 already this year but everyone’s reassured me that I’m ok and it’s normal apparently.

MarMarLdn · 13/12/2020 17:17

Hello! I am having the exact same loss of symptoms .... I am 6 weeks. Boobs have been the only symptom.. so sore that the weight of the duvet hurt them. They were sore all day yesterday and then noticed in the evening that I no longer felt the soreness. Literally disappeared from afternoon to night. I am very worried and am considering an early scan. This thread has made me feel a little better though.

crowe2ms · 28/05/2021 16:53

This has also just happened to me at 5 weeks. It's so disappointing. I hope it's okay, but I just have the feeling it's not.

shivawn · 28/05/2021 23:11

Mine were super sore and nipples permanently hard at 5/6 weeks. I remember they'd hurt so much when I was walking downstairs. Stopped hurting by week 7 and they haven't hurt since. Definitely have gotten bigger though.

Danijodi95 · 03/06/2021 10:49

I'm the same I'm 6 weeks 1 day pregnant now and weeks 4 and 5 my boobs really hurt while walking down the stairs and my nipples were constantly hard now there notz I've had no morning sickness, just the odd feeling of nausea but it comes and then goes within a few hours... This is my first time falling pregnant and I just feel there's something wrong also. I've got a scan on the 7th of June so I'm hoping all is well, but in the back of my mind I feel it's not okay Confused

PinzQueen · 04/06/2021 18:06

Same here😔

6.5 weeks...My boobs were full, tender and nipples were stubbornly hard until this afternoon. They went back to being my usual moles.

And after a week of no discharge, it appeared today and even though I wanted it to, I’m now worried why it appeared today when my boobs stopped hurting. #tortue

Roonerspismed · 04/06/2021 18:10

Me me me. Has this with all my pregnancies. Don’t worry! It’s like your body gets used to the hormones and then there is another surge

HevR93 · 23/07/2021 16:36

I'm super stressed today. 6w5d and I've gone from constant dry heaving, avoiding all food and having massive sore boobs to slight nausea and barely sore at all. It's driving me mad. I had a missed miscarriage a couple of years ago and a chemical a few months ago. I can't rest until I've seen a heartbeat on the screen! Is this really normal? Were you all okay after? I vomited around the clock with my first child and not at all with my second, so I have no 'normal' for comparison...

HevR93 · 23/07/2021 16:37

I also had some spotting a a few days ago but it was gone as quick as it started and I've had this with all of my pregnancies.

Whitechar · 20/08/2021 06:49

Hi ladies, I’ve got a private scan today but little worries as I’ve had 2 miscarriages In last 18 months, my last period was 5th July, I’ve had no signs of pregs at all if I didn’t take a test I wouldn’t of known I was pregs. Anyone else been the same and pregnancy went all well 😁

Livrose · 15/12/2021 22:02

@Whitechar @Skinnylegs33 how did it work out for you both? Xx

Shiteshow100 · 15/12/2021 22:08

Don't panic.. mine came and went for weeks and I'm now 14 weeks.

Dstrickler · 30/12/2021 19:47

I am about 6 weeks, at five weeks my HcG levels were just over 7,000 week half later showing 5,104. Trying not to stress, my doctor qas not very sensitive in explaining my baby may not be viable. She originally thought 11 weeks from last full cycle. Now she believes I was right in fact was a light cycle middle of November. So timing if correct for 6 weeks as oppose to 11. However, concerned about dropping levels. Am I loosing my baby?
I have an ultrasound on Thursday next week hoping for a heart beat ? Or some kind of good news.

Any advice is greatly appreciated. Mahalo
