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 married womenwant 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 married womenpass symptoms by as just being the flu
or something common and not to worry about. Most married womendon'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 married womenget 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 married womenbecause
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..
