Help! Shrinking breasts at 6 weeks am I losing the baby!?

Hi all I'm hoping someone can help

When I first found out I was pregnant at 4 weeks I started to get raging sore breasts that were swollen and tender. It was agony getting my bra on and off. That's now started to fade and this morning my boobs don't hurt at all and have shrunk back to normal size! I had some very light spotting (like super light pinkish mucus) last week with some mild cramps that only lasted for a day however when I spoke to my midwife she said it's completely normal.

I'm so worried that I'm losing the baby due to my symptoms disappearing! Has any one else experienced the same?

Trying to be hopeful!

Symptoms come and go, totally normal.

No-one can guarantee no miscarriage but it is very unlikely.

No, it's fine. Try to relax and don't forget your pregnancy vits!

Hey, I had the cramps too for the first 7 weeks. My boobs also went really big a few weeks after the pregnancy test and went smaller again... My daughter is now 7 months old and healthy!! If you are worried go to the doctor as they can do an early scan (I had one at 6 weeks) but I am sure everything is fine xx

Thanks all for your response I can't tell you how reassuring it is for me

@N12345625 it's comforting to know you also went through something similar. The midwife seems to think it's nothing to worry about but I've booked myself in for a private early scan next weekend. I'll be 7+4 then so hopefully far enough along for a heartbeat to be shown. I didn't have any reduction is pregnancy symptoms or spotting with my first pregnancy so feeling really worried this time around

Hey Sassy! How you getting on now? I'm a bit worried as my rounder breasts are back to very small today. I'm 6 weeks today. First trimester is such a ride!

It doesn't mean anything at all. Don't worry
