Anyone have breast soreness decrease.....

I am 6 weeks, 4 days. First u/s was good. Saw yoke sac, fetal pole, and hb. The doc had to guess on the heart rate (117) at this early stage. He didn't seem concerned that it wasn't at 120, since it's still early and who knows how far along I am really. I am a bit worried that my breasts aren't sore anymore. There is the SLIGHTEST soreness, but I really have to press on them. Nothing like they were about 2 weeks ago. I'm hoping it's because initially when I became pregnant there was a flood of hormones... and now my body has become accustomed to them, or perhaps they flucuate a bit. They are still larger than normal though, but the soreness is pretty muuch gone. Anyone experience anything similar?

My breast also aren't sore anymore either unlike my last pregnancy. I was very large and sore entired my pregnancy with my son. This one is VERY different. That's why I'm affraid of mc. I'm also spotting and bled couple of time not much. Dr said is common in some women to bleed during pregnancy. I'm still scare. You should be happy b/c u saw yoke sac, fetal pole and hb I didn't see neither and almost 6 wks then again I didn't see my son till 8,9 wks. I'm still hoping everything will be alright. I shouldn't worry much if I was you. I heard it comes and go. I feel my breast everyday for soreness. I'm in the same boat as you.

It could be nothing, but honestly I would call your dr.  I'm not trying to be negative or freak you out, but that can be a sign that the pg has stopped.. not always, but it can..

Best of luck to you.. please let us know how it goes.. I really wish you the very best..

The doc knows that the soreness has decreased because I saw him today. I had the u/s today and there was the yoke sac, fetal pole and a heartbeat, so the pregnancy is still there. I'm just concerned because I feel like my breasts should still be as sore as they were initially. Uggh!

I have to say my breasts were not sore most of the first trimester.  I kept waiting and waiting for these huge sore breasts to arrive but they never did (well they are getting bigger now in the second trimester but still not sore!!).  The only time they ever really felt sore was right in the morning when I first got out of bed.  I would not worry because your ultrasound sounds pretty good.  
Btw...I did not think my other post to Cpatow was very ambiguous - I was trying to say that IF you know your dates are accurate then you should see fetal pole during week 6 with a vaginal ultrasound.  I was not trying to apply that logic to everyone especially if you do not know your dates or do not have a vaginal ultrasound.  Sorry if you thought it was harsh...just what I experienced and she specifically asked not to sugarcoat.  
Good luck your pregnancy !

Your post brought  me to tears, with relief. Thank you soooo much. Really. This is all so hard, I don't know how we all get through it. With love and support, and faith I suppose. Women are so strong! That is obvious.
You know, when I posted after your post, I worried that it came off too critical to you, and I guess it did. I apologize. I took it the wrong way I think and became protective over someone else's state of worry... and probably projected my own fears onto her. I'm sure she took it the correct way, unlike me. Thanks for mentioning it though, so you could give me a chance to apologize for my mis-perception. :o)
And THANK YOU SO MUCH for your post.
Have a great night, and good luck with your pg also!

Don't worry about the sore breast thing - really.  I think it varies woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy.  My sister told me her chest did not hurt at all with her first two boys but ached incredibly with her girl.  Now I am pregnant with a girl and mine don't hurt at all  (well unless maybe my 70 pound dog stepped on them but that hurt before too!)!!!  In fact, I had very few symptoms during the whole first trimester (except indigestion) - I kept waiting for the miscarriage to occur but everytime I went for the ultrasound everything was great.  Anyways the ultrasound is the best judge and yours was great - don't worry!

If they were never very sore, that is not a big deal.. but to have symptoms and then they just stop.. that can be a cause for concern.  BUT If your dr has already checked things out with u/s, I would not worry either.. Congrats it all sounds good..
