When the breast ceases to hurt during early pregnancy, it should be a week
Usually, women begin to worry when their breasts stop hurting during pregnancy. This may be a signal of danger, or it may be the norm. It all depends on the period of development of the embryo and on the woman’s body.
Should breasts hurt in early pregnancy?
In a pregnant woman, the breast increases in volume. Nipples and halos become darker and more sensitive. Choroid often appears on the chest.
When the chest stops hurting during pregnancy, it is best to tell your doctor about it.
This is due to a change in hormonal levels in the body. The amount of the hormone progesterone produced by the ovaries and adrenal glands actively increases during pregnancy. Therefore, in the first trimester, pregnant women often have chest pain. And that’s okay.
What does it mean if the chest stops hurting before the 13th week?
Every woman is unique. Some people notice a slight swelling of the mammary glands and a subtle pain in the chest, which soon disappears. For others, chest pain that began at the very beginning does not leave until the end of pregnancy.
But there are situations when a breast that has ceased to hurt is an alarming symptom:
Frozen pregnancy. With her, the soreness of the mammary glands disappears. The chest becomes soft. Most often, the embryo stops developing at 8 weeks.
Threat of miscarriage due to a lack of the hormone progesterone. If you consult a doctor in time and establish the lack of this hormone, then everything can be corrected. To keep the child, the woman is prescribed “Duphaston”, “Utrozhestan” or injections of “Progesterone”.
Disruption of the thyroid gland or pituitary gland. It can be expressed as a loss of pain in the mammary glands, and an increase in discomfort. Lack of timely treatment for this disease will lead to termination of pregnancy.
A woman may not only stop hurting her breasts, but also develop other symptoms. If there are abnormalities such as pain in the lower abdomen, bleeding from the vagina, a sharp increase in body temperature or feeling unwell, an urgent need to seek medical help.
But everything can be completely harmless. From the second trimester, the production of progesterone decreases, and by childbirth it completely stops. Therefore, the chest stops hurting, and the baby develops normally.
It often happens that women, due to being too impressionable, worry in vain and invent symptoms of various diseases for themselves. But in this case, it will not be superfluous to play it safe and tell the doctor about your fears. And early registration will increase the chances of a happy pregnancy outcome.
