Symptoms
of Pregnancy
Please
note that this is not to be misinterpreted as medical
advice of any kind. Please contact your health care
provider for proper testing and pre-natal care guidance
if you think you may be pregnant.
Each
person is different when it comes to symptoms of pregnancy.
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 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..
