Early Signs of Being Pregnant
With thanks to guest writer Susan
The early signs of pregnancy can be subtle or obvious. Some women say they know immediately when they are pregnant. Others can go for months and not realize. Many of these signs are very similar to the discomfort some women have before their period.
The easiest sign to notice is a missed menstrual period. Sometimes women don’t have regular cycles so this can go unnoticed because the women is just assuming it’s her cycle and she has no other signs. Breast tenderness goes along with this also and can again make the women think her period is just late and will be arriving soon. Sometimes though women experience slight bleeding that appears to be a very light period when they are pregnant so if you have any combination of these signs take a home pregnancy test.
Some women get very tired in the first trimester others do not. Frequent urination and nausea are both signs that happen early in women and could lead them to believe they are just getting a urinary tract infection. Some women complain of heartburn or constipation. These signs along with the nausea lead many women to believe they are getting sick not pregnant. Your body temperature may also go up in early pregnancy but that again can lead a women to believe they just have a “bug”, especially if they are not trying actively to get pregnant.
If that occasional nausea decides to turn up more frequently in the morning, it is another sign and if your morning coffee just does not smell right and kind of makes you nauseous in and of itself, it may be another sign. Many women when pregnant cannot stand the aromas of things they previously loved.
All of the above are symptoms of early pregnancy. If your cycle varies a lot from one cycle to another, you have any of these signs, and your period is late, take a home test. If it turns out to be positive, make an appointment with your doctor.
