Symptoms of pregnancy
Each person is different when it comes to
pregnancy symptoms. If you haven't been pregnant before knowing what
to look for can be a challenge. For many that have had children it
is as if by instinct that they know they are pregnant.
Some women want to be pregnant so badly
that they'll find out what to look for and end up mistaking a
stomach ache for morning sickness and mistaking other things that
really are nothing. Other women pass symptoms by as just being the
flu or something common and not to worry about. Most women don't
even find out they are pregnant until they miss their period and
they are already a month into the pregnancy.
Here are the most common symptoms of early
pregnancy and good ways to indicate you are pregnant. If you have
one or more or even all of these symptoms you are most likely
pregnant.
No period
One of the most common ways to know you are pregnant is when your
period is three days late. If you have just gotten off birth control
pills and your period is late wait at least a week before you take a
home pregnancy test.
Frequent urination
When you feel yourself having to go to the bathroom more and more
each day that is a good sign that you are pregnant.
Morning sickness
Many pregnant women get nausea but one thing to remember is each
pregnancy is different and each woman's pregnancy is different. One
woman might have morning sickness at the beginning of the pregnancy
while another might have it at the end of their pregnancy and
another may not have it at all. It all really varies from woman to
woman.
Morning sickness really confuses women
because it doesn't necessarily happen in the morning. You could go
all day and feel fine then just before you go to bed you may begin
to feel sick, or you may feel sick in the middle of the afternoon.
You will have no trouble identifying
morning sickness. You will feel sick at the sight, smell and even
thought of food. It feels like you have a stomach bug.
Breast tenderness
Another common sign of pregnancy is breast tenderness. Your breasts
will start feeling sensitive and tingly. You may also notice that
the pinkish skin around your nipple (the areola), is starting to
turn a darkest color. At this time you may be able to see blue veins
and bumps around this area. This is common for pregnancy. (This is
also common when you are having a period or you are due. Be sure not
to mistake the two).
Fatigue
Fatigue is often one of the fist signs that you are pregnant. You
will feel more tired then usual feeling like you aren`t getting
enough sleep and tire easily finding every day chores a battle.
Emotional changes
Emotional changes will occur mainly because at the time, your
hormones are shifting in order to keep up with both your bodies
needs and your baby's need for growth. At this time your feelings
will be sensitive and easily touchy. One morning you may wake up
feeling on top of the world and within half an hour you may break
into tears for almost no reason at all. That is very normal and
emotional outbursts like that are very good because they relieve the
pressure of stress. Don't be surprised if one minute you're just
fine and the next minute you want to scream at someone for some odd
reason or just cry.
Cravings
Everyone craves food once in a while. When you are pregnant cravings
will happen more often. You will probably want to eat some kind of
food that you don`t even like and even want strange combinations
say; chocolate sandwich (don`t worry once the baby is born your
eating habits will return to normal). It is not only food that you
may crave but other things like smells such as detergents, herbs
etc..
