It is one of the early pregnancy sign symptom. Due to raging hormone levels in your body, your breasts get sore and sensitive. Think how your breasts feel before menstruation. It's the same feeling, but exaggerated this time.
Greater Sensitivity To Odors
Don't be surprised, if you begin to dislike the smell of coffee or your favorite sandwich. Although the exact reason for this early pregnancy sign symptom is not yet known, the drastic increase in the amount of estrogen is said to be accountable. Extreme Tiredness
you are healthy, yet you feel exhausted at the end of the day. Don't worry; it's just an early pregnancy sign symptom asking your body to get some extra rest. Although the exact reason is not known, the hormone progesterone is believed to be behind this.
Nausea Or Vomiting
Popularly known as morning sickness, this will strike after a month of conception. Some women are lucky enough to escape this early pregnancy sign symptom. Moreover, don't be tricked by the name "morning" sickness, as it may hit you at any time of the day!
Implantation Bleeding
Don't shriek in fright, if you notice slight bleeding from your vagina after about 10-12 days of conception. This early pregnancy sign and symptom is implantation bleeding, which happens when the fertilized egg gets implanted into the blood-rich uterus lining. You might notice reddish brown or pink spotting in your panties. It usually lasts a couple of days.
However, if bleeding is accompanied with pain, you better call your doctor, for this is an indication of ectopic pregnancy.
Frequent Urination
One of the things that you will find yourself doing after getting pregnant is rushing to the loo every now and then. This is because, during pregnancy, the quantity of blood as well as other fluids increases in your body. This leads to excess fluid being filtered by your kidneys into your bladder. This early pregnancy sign symptom may worsen with the advancement of pregnancy, as your baby puts force on your bladder.
Abdominal Bloating
Due to the change in the hormones in your body, you are likely to feel bloated. This early pregnancy sign symptom is similar to the one that you get just before your period.
Higher Basal Body Temperature (BBT)
If you are pregnant, your BBT will remain high more than 2 weeks.
Missed period
This early pregnancy sign symptom is surely going to make you sit up and take notice. If your periods are regular and you miss them this time, then it's time to take a pregnancy test. If they are not regular, then concentrate on other early pregnancy signs and symptoms.
Testing Positive
Well, this is the ultimate proof of your pregnancy. Congratulations, you are ready to start a new life!
Know Your Body
We are all very different even if general rules do apply. Thus, what may be evident in some may not show at all in you. Knowing your body is very important, as you are the only one who will feel the change occur, probably within a few days of conception. However, here a few tips that hopefully will guide you to recognize them better.
Fatigue is a very common early pregnancy sign symptom, especially if you are the energetic type. You will be able to detect right away a need to rest, and shortness of breath for almost no reason at all.
Higher body temperature for no apparent reason is yet another early pregnancy sign symptom which is common as well. So, if you have a body temperature that is about 10 to 15 times higher than it usually is, it is time you took that pregnancy test.
Other early pregnancy sign symptoms are lower abdomen craps, occasional bleeding of one of two drops for no reason and sometimes breast tenderness. However, these symptoms are often confused with the usual PMS symptoms.
Confirm Your Doubts
If you are faced with any early pregnancy sign symptoms, the only way to find out one way or the other is to conduct a pregnancy test. Today fortunately there are a number of pregnancy tests available. Unfortunately there is only one that can confirm an early pregnancy and that is a blood test, which needs to be conducted at the hospital.
However, if you are not too curious you can wait for at least a week after you have missed your period. You can then conduct a urine test at home, which is accurate as well.
Helpful Tip
If you have been trying to get pregnant your doctor may provide you with more information on early pregnancy sign symptoms which may be applicable to you. Therefore, it is important to consult your doctor and if necessary conduct the blood test in order to confirm whether you are pregnant or not.
Pregnancy is a wonderful time in a couple's life, especially when you have planned it for a while. The sooner you know about its existence, the sooner you will be able to start taking care of your baby and yourself.
