Q: Breast tenderness , pregnancy , and miscarriages

asked by: DoctorQuestion on August 2nd, 2008

I went for an ultrasound and they said that i was pregnant with twins but i lost one at about 5 1/2 weeks, but the other baby measured at 7 weeks and 1 day. Well i woke up this morning and my breast tenderness stopped but they are sort of still hard but not really. I am worried that losing this symptom means im going to have a miscarriage. I have had no cramping, but a little spotting once and the doc said it could be because of the other twin that died. Is this normal to lose pregnancy symptoms and should i call my doctor?

Breast tenderness is not a sure sign of pregnancy so losing the breast tenderness is not an accurate sign that there are pregnancy difficulties or even of a miscarriage. But spotting should be considered very carefully because it could indicate a pregnancy disorder.

Since you have already lost one of the two embryos you may want to consult your gynecologist again.
