What Causes Spotting And Breast Soreness In Pregnancy?
Saw a slight red blood stain at 7weeks and my Gyn put me on Primolut Depot for two weeks,the spoting stopped but i have since been losing breast fulness and soreness,Did a scan last week and the festus cardiac activity was seen (9weeks),Do i stand a chance of carrying to term or is there anything i should do to boost my chances as i had a preterm birth last year ?
Your doctor has put you on Primolut depot to protect your pregnancy. You had a little spotting of blood which could be due to some risk of abortion to your pregnancy. Primolut depot is a progesterone preparation. Progesterone is a hormone which is required for maintenance of pregnancy. If doctor feels that your body has lower levels of Progesterone, he/she will start some medicines to increase your levels of progesterone. This progesterone has an effect of water retention in breasts and make them heavier and tender. As it is during pregnancy, the size of breast increase, they start secreting milk and thus become heavier and tender. So you need not attribute your breast symptoms to Primolute Depot. Heaviness and tenderness in the breasts is a good sign in pregnancy. You may have to change the size of your brassieres and buy new larger size ones to accommodate your enlarged breasts comfortably and support them. That proper support to the breasts will give you some relief from your breast symptoms. Please do not take any pain killers for the breast discomfort.
