You may want to look into things if you are experiencing any of the below listed signs and have recently been in a situation where you could have become pregnant.



Missed Menstrual Period

This is an early sign of pregnancy that the majority of women are aware of. During most pregnancies, the uterine lining is not shed from the body, thus you will not have a period until sometime after delivery. Because it is possible for one to continue having periods after conception, you should not rule out a pregnancy based solely on the fact that you are still menstruating.

Fatigue

Pregnant women have an increased chance of becoming tired more easily and quickly due to hormonal changes in their body. It may become clearly evident that you will have to rest more often, and tasks that used to seem simple are now taking a great deal of effort and energy to complete.

Breast Tenderness

Are your breasts getting swollen or sore? This is caused by hormones and your body getting prepared to produce milk. It is also possible that your nipples will grow darker and become even more sensitive.

Nausea

Later into the first trimester, most women feel some degree of nausea. But it's possible to feel nauseous as early as the first week. The name "morning sickness" is misleading. Although some women are only nauseous at one time of day, others feel it constantly all day or at random times during the day. Eating small and frequent meals may help a pregnant woman to get through her pregnancy nausea.

More Frequent Urination

Pregnancy triggers the body to process an increased amount of fluid in your bladder and kidneys. This means that you will be making more frequent trips to the bathroom. Furthermore, a growing uterus puts increasing pressure on the bladder. Many women say that this lasts all throughout their pregnancy, while others notice a difference in early pregnancy and then their body regulates itself after a few months.

Dizziness

It is common to experience a sensation of dizziness or faintness when going up a flight of stairs, quickly rising up from a seated position, or when standing upright for an extended period of time. A major cause of this sensation is a drop in blood pressure from your growing uterus compressing the blood vessels in your legs. Another contributing factor is low blood sugar, which can be prevented by eating several small, healthy snacks throughout your day on a fairly regular schedule.

If you think you may be pregnant, take a home pregnancy test and then visit your physician to verify the common symptoms you are having. You will be able to care for yourself better the sooner you confirm your pregnancy.
