[T421]The Early Symptoms Of Pregnancy

by David H. Urmann, Dav

Are you pregnant? Keep in mind that when you are in doubt about earliest pregnancy symptoms then you can do a home pregnancy test right ahead. However, even before you miss a period, you can already assume if you are pregnant or not. Early pregnancy symptoms may differ from one woman to another but of course the most common is a delayed menstrual cycle. These symptoms may be felt within a week of conception while there are also women who may never at all experience any signs of pregnancy. Remember, that there are also various indications that may come out comparable to usual pre-menstrual discomforts.

A wide range of physical and emotional changes may occur. One of those is the "feeling of being pregnant". Lots of women confess that they have an intuition about pregnancy signs and this instinct is most of the time accurate. Are you feeling weird and moody lately? Are you experiencing heartburn or constipation? Do you find yourself having a trip to the bathroom very often these days? These are some indications of pregnancy.

Other early symptoms to look out for are swollen breasts. After two weeks of conception, hormonal changes that take place in your body may make your breasts tender, painful or sore. Sometimes a woman may sense that her breasts are fuller and heavier than before. Moreover, implantation bleeding may also occur which can sometimes be mistaken as the real period. About 6-12 days after conception, the embryos instill itself into the uterine wall; as a result the presence of spotting and cramping takes place.

You probably heard a pregnant woman before who complains about morning sickness, this is among the most distinguished pregnancy symptom that may occur between 2-8 weeks after conception. Although there are some who are lucky enough not to experience this highly uncomfortable indication, there are still some who may feel nauseous in the entire range of pregnancy. Another early symptom to look out for is fatigue and exhaustion. You may feel tired almost all the time and you will find it hard to get out of the bed when you wake up due to all the changes in your body and the increasing level of hormones that you have. Just try to have at least 15 minutes of nap whenever is possible.

Furthermore, another most common early symptom of pregnancy is craving for a certain kind of food. For example, a woman may crave sour food although she never really likes the taste of sourness when she's not still pregnant. Taking pre-natal vitamins and pure fish oil capsule may avert this problem. Aversions to certain kind of foods may also happen. There will be foods that you enjoyed before but now deemed as disgusting. Even the plain smell of the food can make a woman feel nauseous. This problem may come and go but there are some that last throughout the whole period of pregnancy. If one or more of this above mentioned early symptoms are happening to you right now, it is best to seek the help of a professional as early as possible.

Learning that you are pregnant will be one of the most emotional times of your life and knowing what symptoms to look for will help you to start getting the proper prenatal care to ensure the health of your unborn child. Although not every woman will experience the same symptoms of pregnancy, there are some early signs that remain very common among moms-to-be. Fatigue, backaches, nausea and missed periods are among the early pregnancy symptoms that many women can expect. Less common, but often present, symptoms include nosebleeds and bladder infections.

As a woman's body begins to change in order to safely accommodate her unborn child, morning sickness is very likely to occur and, in fact, is believed to affect as many as 70% of all pregnant women. Although very unpleasant, morning sickness is not considered to be a medical concern unless it affects a healthy eating pattern or becomes especially troublesome. Many women find that eating several crackers, drinking plenty of fluids and/or making sure to eat several small meals daily to avoid an empty stomach will help to ease the effects of morning sickness. Once a woman's body has adjusted to the changes, she will likely begin to feel better and is not likely to experience the same symptoms as in the early stages of pregnancy.

Constipation, although possible during all stages of pregnancy, is believed to be the most troubling during the first trimester. This discomfort is said to affect at least 50% of all pregnant women and may be treated by eating regularly, drinking fluids and by following any instructions as provided by a physician, including doctor recommended exercises. The latter should be approached with caution as many pregnant women experience dizziness, which can often be eased with slow movements.

Because the overall health of the mother will greatly determine the health of her baby, it is important that any woman who suspects that she may be pregnant consult a physician immediately. This is especially true if any/all of the aforementioned symptoms become severe or are accompanied by other ailments.
