At 40 days pregnant, if your breasts are not as tight and painful as before, is it because the fetus is developing?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is normal for breast tenderness to suddenly decrease at 40 weeks of pregnancy, which is caused by hormonal changes. It is recommended to pay attention to dietary nutrition, get more rest, and have regular prenatal check-ups. If the fetus is healthy during the check-ups, there is nothing to worry about.
