The chest stopped hurting during early pregnancy: reasons why, week
The soreness in the chest that a woman feels is similar to that which she feels before the onset of menstruation. Let’s figure out whether it is worth worrying if the chest stopped hurting during pregnancy and in what situations you need to urgently run to the doctor.
Why does my chest stop hurting in a given week?
During pregnancy, the breasts begin to ache, each touch responds with pain or discomfort. Sometimes these sensations persist until the very birth, and sometimes subside a month after fertilization. In addition, the breasts usually increase in size, but in rare cases, they may shrink. And all this is within the normal range, because each organism is unique and reacts in its own way to the appearance of a baby in the womb.
If your breasts stop hurting during pregnancy, consult your doctor.
However, you can find something in common. In most cases, the pain bothers until about the 12th week, and then gradually subsides. If the painful sensations pass abruptly and the breast becomes smaller, this means that it will be very painful before childbirth.
If chest pain suddenly disappears in late pregnancy, then it’s time to get ready for childbirth. The body is already ready to feed the baby. In the first days after childbirth, soreness may return for a short time, which makes breastfeeding difficult.
For what reasons does the chest stop hurting at an early stage?
Despite the fact that a change in the level of pain in the chest is an individual thing, in some cases it is still a symptom of a problem.
- Acute deficiency of the hormone progesterone. This hormone is responsible for the normal bearing of the baby. The problem is detected by a routine blood test and corrected with medications.
- Fading pregnancy. In this case, the breast becomes not only painless, but also soft.
- Death of the fetus. It is accompanied by a sharp decrease in breast size.
- Disorder of the pituitary gland. Because of it, a spontaneous abortion can occur. The situation can be corrected by a doctor with the help of medications.
You should not set yourself up for bad things in advance. The situations described above happen very rarely and, most likely, you are fine. Remember that your positive attitude, the absence of stress and worries are important for the child who is under your heart.
During pregnancy, every little thing plays a role, so you need to listen to your body. Even if the breasts have ceased to bother you for natural reasons, tell your doctor about it at your next visit.
