Early Pregnancy Symptoms
Fatigue - Owing to hormonal changes in the body of a woman, most women experience fatigue during the first few weeks of pregnancy. It is very difficult to distinguish between fatigue that takes place due to a change in hormone levels and tiredness that is associated with physical exertion. However, one can understand that one is pregnant if fatigue occurs without exertion or too much travel. This is early pregnancy symptom.
Missing A Period - Missing a period is another sign of pregnancy. All women have a period every month if they are not pregnant. If in a particular month a woman misses a period, then it is an obvious early pregnancy symptom. In most cases, this is a sure indication of pregnancy. Missing a period is also sometimes associated with cramping in the legs with a feeling that periods may start anytime. Back pain accompanies cramping in most cases.
Nausea and vomiting - Also known as ‘morning sickness’, nausea is considered as one of the earliest early pregnancy symptom. Women usually fear it as a bout of food poisoning or an attack of cold! It is also the most annoying symptom of pregnancy. Most women start to experience this very common complaint, after a month of pregnancy. However, morning sickness can attack as early as the first week of conception in some women too.
Frequent ********* - Frequent ********* is another annoying early pregnancy symptom. It usually starts soon after conception, due to the reducing size of the urinary bladder, as the uterus grows larger to accommodate the baby. It can also be the result of the release of the pregnancy hormone progesterone, which stimulates the bladder muscles to give a feeling of fullness, which in turn prompts one to urinate more often.
Constipation - This is an irritating sign of pregnancy. Constipation is usually followed with an urge to eat large quantities of sour and spicy food.
Even though you might experience one or all of the early pregnancy symptoms as given above, it is advisable to consult a doctor and take a few pregnancy tests to confirm a pregnancy. One of the first tests to confirm pregnancy is the HCG test of your urine. This test not only confirms pregnancy but is also a signal to remind you that you need to take an appointment with your health care consultant soon. You can take this test conveniently at your office or you can take it at any other time during the day too. Moreover, this test is usually 100% accurate and hence quite dependable to confirm good news.
