4 weeks pregnant and breasts don't hurt as much

Ctamas · January 2014

Hi! I found out earlier this week that I am pregnant. Only 4 weeks, but still is extremely exciting for me as I have always dreamt of having a baby. My first sign that I was pregnant was that my breasts were so swollen and sore I could hardly touch them. This morning they only hurt a little and I kind of feel like I have a yeast infection. Is this really bad and an early sign of a miscarriage or do symptoms come and go even this early? Any info is appreciated, I just want to make sure my little poppyseed turns into a healthy happy baby!

It's entirely possible that your breast tenderness wasn't even caused by pregnancy. Progesterone rises after ovulation regardless of whether or not you get pregnant, and that can cause breast tenderness in some people. It's normal for symptoms to come and go in the first few weeks of pregnancy. I wouldn't read too much into it. But I agree with PP - if you feel like you have a yeast infection, get treatment for that.

Congrats on your babe!
This is my second pregnancy and i am 6 weeks and still NO symptoms at all!!! With my first i had a ton, this ine none! Every pregnancy is different and your so early, give it another 4 weeks you will have something! Even if its just peeing alot!!

I'm a little over 7 weeks and my breasts have been everything from really uncomfortable sore to not at all. I think it's normal for any symptoms to flux a bit.

Mine didn't start hurting until about 6 weeks and it comes and goes depending on the day, some days agonizing and others they feel fine. Symptoms will fluxuate a lot so don't stress to much. Definitely get yourself checked for a yeast infection if you feel it coming on. Best of luck!

Thanks so much! Your posts made me feel so much better. I got ahold of my dr and she recommended getting monistat for the yeast infection and also said that the breast pain coming and going is very normal. Thanks again!!

Thanks everyone! I am so paranoid because I have always wanted a baby and I don't want anything to happen to him/her. Everything makes me so nervous. Today I had some cramps and got really nervous. I have heard a lot about miscarriages and how common they are. I know I am driving my bf nuts. (Yes we are not married but planned this baby. We have been planning to get married this year and have also wanted a child. I was on the depo shot and was told I would not get pregnant for at least 9 months after my last shot but may take up to two years. Well...baby came right after I got off the shot and We could not be happier.) anyways..any suggestions or comforting info on not driving myself and my bf nuts about a miscarriage?? Thanks!

Thanks funnibunni. I have been doing research on the internet. I will definitely grab a book. Thanks for the suggestions, I wasn't sure which ones are good and of course most current.

Symptoms come and go... One day your boobs can be extremely sore, while the next day, you'll feel perfectly normal.

You may never experience sore boobs. In my first pregnancy I never did. This pregnancy they have been a bit sore but nothing to complain about. Yeast infections are common in pregnancy. It doesn't mean you'll miscarry because of one.

I *knock on wood* have hardly had any symptoms this pregnancy, I am about 7 weeks now. My boobs haven't been sore, but by 5 on my work day i'm ready to jerk my bra off so they can breathe and they definitely feel heavier. I was nervous too because I hardly had any symptoms, until someone reassured me that had nothing to do with the health of the baby. My symptoms at this point are still just mild cramps and some killer heartburn!
