Does the disappearance of breast swelling mean that the fetus has stopped growing?

Fetal arrest is definitely a nightmare for expectant mothers, especially in the first three months of pregnancy, when the baby's development is not very stable, which is the peak period for miscarriage and fetal arrest. In addition, during this period, expectant mothers do not feel the fetal movement, so they are more worried about whether the baby in the belly is developing healthily. Some pregnant mothers will judge the development of the fetus based on early pregnancy symptoms. For example, there will be chest pain in the early pregnancy. If the chest pain disappears, does it mean that the fetus has stopped developing? What are the general signs of fetal arrest? Let's briefly introduce it below.

Around 40 days of pregnancy, the secretion of growth hormone reaches a relatively high value. At this time, pregnant mothers will immediately begin to experience various early pregnancy reactions, such as dizziness, chest tightness and shortness of breath, nausea and retching. In other words, the chest begins to feel swollen and painful. Because the breasts are about to grow at this time, in preparation for breastfeeding in the future, you should pay attention to wearing looser underwear. When the early pregnancy reaction is more obvious, it usually means that the baby is growing very well. However, the chest distension and pain does not occur every day. Sometimes it reappears after one or two days. Therefore, the disappearance of the chest distension and pain does not mean that the fetus has stopped, and it needs to be observed for a period of time.

In addition to going to the hospital for a physical examination, if you want to judge whether the fetus has arrested or not, you need to consider all aspects comprehensively. Because after the fetus has arrested, the body's growth hormone will gradually decrease. If it happens at a relatively early time, such as at eight weeks of pregnancy, which is the peak period of fetal arrest, if you find that the early pregnancy symptoms gradually disappear at this time, such as your appetite improves, you no longer feel nauseous, your chest is no longer swollen and painful, and your abdomen no longer has a slight pain, then you need to be concerned and go to the hospital for examination in time.

Therefore, just because the chest feels no more swollen and painful does not mean that the fetus has stopped developing. You can observe whether other early pregnancy symptoms still exist. Also, the chest does not feel swollen and painful every day. Sometimes it hurts several times every one or two days. This is irregular. In the early stages of pregnancy, you must pay attention to maintaining a positive attitude, rest more, and do prenatal checkups on time, especially hormone tests. Generally, there will be no problem.
