Hi everyone. I am 7 weeks pregnant and
my boobs are starting to not hurt as bad.
They were killing me up until about a
week ago. I actually could be farther a
long, could that be why? Is this normal?
I am also getting really bad headaches.
I am so nervous about miscarrying because
at my first appt. My doctor said don't be
upset if you miscarry, most women do there
first time. I am horrified now. Does
anyone have any thoughts to ease my mind?
Thanks

Swollen tender breasts are a sign of
pregnancy. Its a symptom. They are
getting fuller and changing so they will
be very sore. Headaches and fatigue are
normal as well. Just be calm about
everything and dont stress it so much.
How horrible for your doctor to say that!
I think you should change. I have never
heard of most women miscarrying their
first time. I know *alot* of first timers
who were fine. If that were true, more
women would be upset over it. But it
cannot be a proven fact. Maybe changing
to a more positive doctor would be good.
You seem fine and just in the first
trimester of pregnancy. Dont worry.

My god, that doctor is a monster! I had
my first @ 16, was pg @15, and she was
very healthy. Don't listen to him and let
it scare you - and get a new doc asap! As
for the boobs, the initial tenderness does
decrease for awhile usually around 13-15
weeks. I am 18 weeks along and mine are
fine. I would go see a new doc and get
their opinion. They may also schedule you
for an earlier than usual ultrasound to
check exactly how far along you are.
Good luck!

It is absolutely untrue that most women
miscarry their first pregnancy. I would
not return back to that Dr., seriously.
When I was pregnant I was in the same
position you are. I would constantly hit
my breasts to make sure they still hurt
because I was afraid that if they didn't
it mean that I had a miscarriage. You
definately don't want to stress because
that's not good for you or the baby. I
wish I hadn't worried so much during my
pregnancy because I really feel like I
missed out on a lot of the fun stuff.
Seriously though, switch Dr.'s!!!!1

When I was about 5 weeks pregnant with my
2nd child I started bleeding and when I
went to my doctor she told me that there
was nothing that she could do b/c if I was
misscarrying then I was miscarrying. She
said that she wasn't going to give me an
ultrasound b/c they cost alot of money to
use and it wasn't an emergency and if I
was miscarrying then it would just be a
waste of money. Needless to say that was
the last time I seen her and gave birth to
a very healthy 8 1/2 lbs. Baby boy with
the help of a better doc.!

I'm 8 weeks pregnant and my breasts were
hurting a lot also but they are feeling
better now it may be that your just
getting used to them being sore so it's
not so noticable :d I also get a lot of
headaches when i'm pregnant!! I don't
think you have anything to worry about!!
Oh yea in my first pregnancy I also
worried about miscarrying a lot it's just
the mother coming out in you :d
