Breast tenderness subsiding?

I am currently 6 1/2 weeks pregnant & 26 years old.  This is my first pregnancy and everything appears to be going well, no serious morning sickness- just tired, urinating alot, and eating more. My concern is that today when I woke up my breasts were no longer tender. I am really confused- what does this indicate?

Please let me know if this is something I should be concerned with.

Thanks

It doesn't indicate anything.  Breast tenderness will come and go during pregnancy.  Some women never experience it, some have it constantly.  While they say that the more symptoms you have is a good sign BUT lack of symptoms does not mean anything is wrong.  Many women have very easy pregnancies.  My first 4 I had hardly ANY symptoms or discomforts.  This time around is different.  So long as your HCG is doubling as it should, you and the fetus are measuring right and you aren't cramping and bleeding I'd say try not to worry :)

My breast tenderness went away at 5 weeks and came back about a week later. It's nothing to worry about (I worried and asked everyone and most women said this has happened to them a lot in the first trimester). Apperently your hormones come in waves, so some symptoms are there one day and are gone the next. Don't be concerned about it, breast tenderness comes and goes.

Breast tenderness is one of those thing that come and go. I remember at the beginning of my pregnacy I would wake up and they would either hurt so bad I would be in tears or they would not hurt at all. I really would not worry about anything unless you begin to bleed or pass clots..... I am 37.4 weeks pregnant and everything is great... Best of Luck

It's nothing to be concerned about. Mine were incredibly sore for 2-3 days before I got a BFP, then by around 7 weeks I didn't have any more tenderness. They were more sensitive, and in following weeks grew a cup size, but not tender or sore like before. They haven't been since - I am 25 years old and 24 weeks along w/a very healthy baby boy. Best wishes and congrats on your pregnancy! :)
