How early can signs of pregnancy show

12 Early Signs of Pregnancy | SSM Health Matters Blog

When you have decided that you’re ready for a baby, sometimes waiting to see the two little lines on a pregnancy test can feel like forever. Will it be this month? When you’re trying to conceive, you may overanalyze any new feeling that you’re experiencing. Are you bloated? Sore breasts? Is your lunch just not sitting right on your stomach?

We break down the most common early signs of pregnancy and what you can do to feel more comfortable while your little bundle of joy is growing.

When do pregnancy symptoms start?

Every woman has their own journey to motherhood, so symptoms and timing can vary. Some women may begin noticing the first early signs of pregnancy a week or two after conception, while others will start to feel symptoms closer to four or five weeks after conception. Some women may not feel symptoms until their period is noticeably late, or even farther into pregnancy. According to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, most women (59 percent) experienced an onset of pregnancy symptoms by their fifth or sixth week, while 71 percent reported symptoms by the end of week six and 89 percent by week eight.

If you don’t feel any symptoms at all, don’t worry! Some women won’t feel any symptoms and go on to have healthy pregnancies – consider yourself one of the lucky ones!

1. Missed Period

If you’re ready for a baby, you have probably been tracking your period and watching closely every time you use the restroom to see if it has shown up this month. A missed period is often one of the 1st symptoms of pregnancy and can be a sign that a little one is on the way. Take a home pregnancy test to see if you’re pregnant. If it’s positive, call your OB/GYN to schedule your first prenatal visit around 8 weeks gestation.

2. Sore Breasts

Are your breasts feeling tender and swollen? Sore breasts are another symptom that you may have conceived this cycle, but unfortunately, some women experience soreness as part of their normal menstrual cycle, so it can be hard to tell the difference. Usually, if you have conceived, the soreness gets worse over time, and you may begin noticing changes in how your breasts look.

3. Darkening Areolas

We told you that your breasts may begin to look different – have you noticed darkening of the areolas? The areolas are the area around your nipples. They can start to appear darker and larger as early as one or two weeks after conception, making this one of the more noticeable early signs of pregnancy. You may also begin to see more visible veins and little bumps popping up along the edge of the areolas. They’re called Montgomery tubercles and will help lubricate your nipples to get them ready for your baby to nurse when they’re here. This is only the beginning of breast changes in pregnancy!

4. Fatigue

Are you feeling exhausted just by doing your normal, everyday activities? Unfortunately, fatigue may be here to stay for the duration of your pregnancy and beyond. Your body is producing more blood to carry nutrients to your growing baby. You should begin to feel a little more energy during the second trimester.

5. Heightened Sense of Smell

Is the smell of scrambled eggs that you usually make for breakfast suddenly making you feel nauseated? A heightened sense of smell is often associated with morning sickness and usually subsides after the 1st trimester.

6. Bloating

Another not-so-pleasant early pregnancy symptom is gas. An increase in progesterone and estrogen is the culprit behind this symptom and may cause abdominal pain, bloating, belching and passing gas. This symptom may be around for the entire 9 months of pregnancy.

7. Mood Swings

You might start to experience mood swings similar to those you feel in the days leading up to your normal period. These uncontrollable shifts in your emotions occur due to changes in your hormones, especially in the first trimester when the levels of estrogen and progesterone change dramatically.

8. Cramping

Similar to sore breasts, cramping is an early sign of pregnancy. Cramping should not be severe. If you’re in intense pain, it’s only on one side, or if bleeding is accompanying it and it’s not your menstrual symptom, contact your doctor right away.

9. Spotting

Did you notice some spotting about 1-2 weeks after ovulation and sexual intercourse? It may be implantation bleeding. Spotting happens six to 12 days after conception, when a fertilized egg digs deep into the lining of your uterus, causing a bit of mild irritation. You may confuse it with the beginning of your period, but it can actually mean that you’re expecting! Implantation bleeding is light and should not fill up a pad or tampon. It is usually light pink or brown tinge.

10. High Basal Body Temperature

Many women don’t realize that their temperature may be able to give them a sign that they are pregnant. If you’ve been charting your basal body temp and you get a higher-than-normal reading, then you may want to buy a pregnancy test. When you’re charting, your basal (or waking) temperature peaks when you ovulate, then gradually decreases during the latter part of your cycle until your period begins. But if you get pregnant during the cycle, your basal temperature won’t plummet; instead, it’ll stay high.

11. Frequent Urination

Are you feeling the urge to go to the bathroom more than usual? Having to urinate more frequently is definitely a common pregnancy symptom and will remain throughout your pregnancy.

12. Morning Sickness

Feeling queasy? Morning sickness is not just in the morning but can occur at any time of the day. Try some of these remedies to help ease your nausea. Usually, morning sickness will begin to subside after the 1st trimester, but some women may experience it throughout their pregnancy.

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms and do receive a positive pregnancy test, make sure to set up your 1st prenatal visit with your OB/GYN around 8 weeks gestation.

Also, be sure to download our pregnancy handbook that answers frequently asked questions and provides detailed information for each trimester. We’ll be with you every step of the way on your journey to motherhood!

Pregnancy Symptoms: 15 Early Signs

While pregnancy tests and ultrasounds are the only ways to know if you’re pregnant, you can look out for other signs and symptoms. The earliest signs of pregnancy are more than a missed period. They may also include:

morning sickness
smell sensitivity
fatigue

Though it may sound odd, your first week of pregnancy is based on the date of your last menstrual period. Your last menstrual period is considered week 1 of pregnancy, even if you weren’t actually pregnant yet.

The expected delivery date is calculated using the first day of your last period. For that reason, you may not have symptoms during the first few weeks of your 40-week pregnancy.

If you’re pregnant, you may notice early signs such as:

mild cramping and spotting
missed period
fatigue
nausea
tingling or aching breasts
frequent urination
bloating
motion sickness
mood swings
temperature changes

Other signs may include:

high blood pressure
extreme fatigue and heartburn
faster heartbeat
breast and nipple changes
acne
noticeable weight gain
pregnancy glow

From weeks 1 to 4, everything is still happening on a cellular level. The fertilized egg creates a blastocyst (a fluid-filled group of cells) that will develop into the fetus’s organs and body parts.

About 10 to 14 days (week 4) after conception, the blastocyst will implant in the endometrium, which is the lining of the uterus. This can cause implantation bleeding, which may be mistaken for a light period. It does not occur for everyone. If it does occur, it will usually happen around the time you expect your period.

Here are some signs of implantation bleeding:

Color. The color of each episode may be pink, red, or brown.
Bleeding. Implantation bleeding is usually much less than your usual period. It’s often described as light bleeding that never turns into a flow or enough to need a tampon.
Pain. Pain is usually milder than your usual menstrual pain. It may involve some cramping. It can be moderate or severe, but it’s most often mild.
Episodes. Implantation bleeding is likely to last less than 3 days and does not require treatment. It can sometimes last only a few hours.

Tips

If you think you may be experiencing implantation bleeding:

Avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, or using illegal drugs, all of which can be associated with heavy bleeding.
Do not use a tampon if you think you may be having implantation bleeding and not your usual period. Using a tampon could lead to a greater risk of infection.

Once implantation is complete, your body will begin making human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). This hormone helps the body maintain the pregnancy. It also tells the ovaries to stop releasing mature eggs each month.

You will likely miss your next period 4 weeks after conception. If you typically have an irregular period, you’ll want to take a pregnancy test to confirm.

Most home tests can detect hCG as soon as 8 days after a missed period. A pregnancy test will be able to detect hCG levels in your urine and show if you are pregnant.

Tips

Take a pregnancy test to see if you’re pregnant.
If it’s positive, call a doctor or midwife to schedule your first prenatal appointment.
If you’re on any medications, ask your doctor whether they pose any risks to the pregnancy.

A higher basal body temperature may be a sign of pregnancy. Your body’s core temperature may also increase more easily with exercise or in hot weather. During this time, make sure to drink more water and exercise cautiously.

Fatigue can develop anytime during pregnancy. This symptom is common in early pregnancy. Your progesterone levels will soar, which can make you feel sleepy.

Tips

The early weeks of pregnancy can make you feel exhausted. Try to get enough sleep if you can.
Keeping your bedroom cool can also help. Your body temperature may be higher during the early stages of pregnancy.

Around weeks 8 to 10, your heart may begin pumping faster and harder. Palpitations and arrhythmias are common in pregnancy. This is normally due to hormones.

According to a 2016 review of studies, your blood flow will increase between 30 and 50 percent during your pregnancy. This adds to your heart’s workload.

You may have discussed any underlying heart issues with your medical team before conception. If not, now is the time to discuss any conditions or needed medications.

Breast changes can occur between weeks 4 and 6. You’re likely to develop tender and swollen breasts due to hormone changes. This will likely go away after a few weeks when your body has adjusted to the hormones.

Nipple and breast changes can also occur around week 11. Hormones continue to cause your breasts to grow. The areola — the area around the nipple — may change to a darker color and grow larger.

If you’ve had bouts with acne before your pregnancy, you may experience breakouts again.

Tips

Relieve breast tenderness by purchasing a comfortable, supportive maternity bra. A cotton, underwire-free bra is often the most comfortable.
Choose a bra with varying clasps that gives you more room to “grow” in the coming months.
Purchase breast pads that fit into your bra to reduce friction on your nipples and nipple pain.

Your estrogen and progesterone levels will be high during pregnancy. This increase can affect your mood and make you more emotional or reactive than usual. Mood swings are common during pregnancy and may cause feelings of:

depression
irritability
anxiety
euphoria

During pregnancy, your body increases the amount of blood it pumps. This causes the kidneys to process more fluid than usual, which leads to more fluid in your bladder.

Hormones also play a large role in bladder health. During pregnancy, you may find yourself running to the bathroom more frequently or accidentally leaking.

Tips

Drink about 300 milliliters (a little more than a cup) of extra fluids each day.
Plan out your bathroom trips ahead of time to avoid incontinence, or leaking urine.

Similar to symptoms of a menstrual period, bloating may occur during early pregnancy. This may be due to hormone changes, which can also slow down your digestive system. You could feel constipated and blocked as a result.

Constipation can also increase feelings of abdominal bloating.

Nausea and morning sickness usually develop around weeks 4 to 6 and peak around week 9.

Although it’s called morning sickness, it can occur anytime during the day or night. It’s unclear exactly what causes nausea and morning sickness, but hormones may play a role.

During the first trimester of pregnancy, many women experience mild to severe morning sickness. It may become more intense toward the end of the first trimester, but often becomes less severe as you enter the second trimester.

Tips

Keep a package of saltine crackers by your bed and eat a few before you get up in the morning to help settle morning sickness.
Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
Call your doctor if you cannot keep fluids or food down.

In most cases, high or normal blood pressure will drop in the early stages of pregnancy. This may also cause feelings of dizziness since your blood vessels are dilated.

High blood pressure, or hypertension, as a result of pregnancy is more difficult to determine. Almost all cases of hypertension within the first 20 weeks indicate underlying problems. It may develop during early pregnancy, but it may also be present beforehand.

A medical professional will take your blood pressure during your first doctor’s visit to help establish a baseline for a normal blood pressure reading.

Tips

Consider switching to pregnancy-friendly exercises, if you haven’t already.
Learn how to track your blood pressure regularly.
Ask your doctor about personal dietary guidelines to help reduce high blood pressure.
Drink enough water and snack regularly to help prevent dizziness. Standing up slowly when getting up from a chair may also help.

Smell sensitivity is a symptom of early pregnancy that’s mostly self-reported. There’s little scientific evidence about smell sensitivity during the first trimester. However, it might be important, since smell sensitivity may trigger nausea and vomiting. It may also cause strong distaste for certain foods.

You may experience either a heightened or lessened sense of smell during pregnancy, according to 2017 research. This is especially common during the first and third trimesters. Heightened smell is more common than lessened smell. Some smells that never bothered you before may become less pleasing or even trigger nausea.

The good news is that your sense of smell usually returns to normal after delivery, or within 6 to 12 weeks postpartum.

Weight gain becomes more common toward the end of your first trimester. You may find yourself gaining about 1 to 4 pounds in the first few months.

Calorie recommendations for early pregnancy won’t change much from your usual diet, but they will increase as pregnancy progresses.

In the later stages, pregnancy weight often shows up in the:

breasts (about 1 to 3 pounds)
uterus (about 2 pounds)
placenta (1 1/2 pounds)
amniotic fluid (about 2 pounds)
increased blood and fluid volume (about 5 to 7 pounds)
fat (6 to 8 pounds)

Hormones can cause the valve between your stomach and esophagus to relax. This allows stomach acid to leak, causing heartburn.

Tips

Prevent pregnancy-related heartburn by eating several small meals a day instead of larger ones.
Try to stay sitting upright for at least an hour after eating to help your food digest.
If you need antacids, talk with a doctor about what may be safe during your pregnancy.

Many people may begin saying you have the “pregnancy glow.” The combination of increased blood volume and higher hormone levels pushes more blood through your vessels. This causes the body’s oil glands to work overtime.

The increased activity of your body’s oil glands gives your skin a flushed, glossy appearance. On the other hand, you may also develop acne.

You can generally know if you’re pregnant 1 week after you’ve missed a period. The Office on Women’s Health in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says that taking a home pregnancy test at this point will give a more accurate result.

Home pregnancy tests are inexpensive and widely available without a prescription in pharmacies and other stores.

You can take a test earlier than this if you want, but you run the risk of getting a false negative result. This means the test may say you’re not pregnant, but in fact you are.

If you take a home pregnancy test too early, there may not be enough hCG in your urine yet for the test to detect it. Home pregnancy tests work by testing the amount of hCG in your urine. This is a hormone that’s only present in the blood and urine of pregnant people.

Also, every person’s body chemistry is a bit different. One person may get a positive result as early as a day after their period, while another person’s positive results may not show up for another week. So, early test results may not be the most accurate.

Blood tests can often detect hCG earlier in a pregnancy than urine tests. Blood tests can sometimes give a positive result as early as 6 to 8 days after you ovulate, while urine tests do so about 3 weeks after ovulation.

Unlike at-home urine tests, blood tests are usually done in a clinical setting. Contact your doctor if you want this type of test.

Symptoms of pregnancy like nausea, fatigue, and breast tenderness sometimes occur even before you miss a period. These symptoms may give you an idea that you’re pregnant, but they are not sure proof. Only a test will tell for sure.

Tips:

The Office on Women’s Health advises that if you get a negative result on a home pregnancy test, take another test a week later to recheck.
Some home pregnancy tests are more accurate than others. Here is a list of the best home pregnancy tests. Be sure to pick one that is known to be accurate.

If you think you might be pregnant, the best time to take a home pregnancy test is 1 week after you first miss a period. According to the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development in 2017, home pregnancy tests are 97 percent accurate when used properly at the right time.

A blood test can often reveal a pregnancy much earlier, but it must be done at a doctor’s office or in a clinical setting.

If you get a positive result on a home pregnancy test, you should call your doctor right away, according to the Office on Women’s Health. The doctor can prescribe a more sensitive test and perform a pelvic exam to tell for certain if you’re pregnant.

To keep you and the fetus healthy, the Office on Women’s Health recommends you see a medical professional as early as possible in your pregnancy. You can then schedule regular prenatal visits throughout your pregnancy.

Many of the body changes and symptoms of pregnancy you experience in the first trimester will start to fade once you reach the second trimester. Talk with your doctor about any symptoms that interfere with your daily life. Together, you can try to find relief and comfort for your pregnancy.

First signs of pregnancy before delay, early symptoms

Significant hormonal changes occur during pregnancy. This causes a number of symptoms. Some women experience pregnancy symptoms right away, while others may only have a few. About the first signs of pregnancy at an early stage and when exactly the initial signs of pregnancy appear are described in the article.

At what time do the first signs of pregnancy appear

The answer to the question when the first signs of pregnancy appear is quite ambiguous, because some women do not feel any signs at all during the first few weeks. At what week do the first signs of pregnancy appear in others? When do the first signs of pregnancy appear after conception? Symptoms of very early pregnancy (such as breast tenderness) may appear before a missed period, as early as six to seven days after conception, while other early signs of pregnancy (such as spotting) may appear about a week after ovulation. We will tell you more about the first signs of pregnancy before menstruation and when the signs of pregnancy appear.

What are the earliest signs of pregnancy?

The first signs of pregnancy in the early stages:

delayed menstruation - 29%;
nausea - 25%;
mood swings - from 14 to 23%;
breast changes - 17%;
pain in the lower abdomen - 15%;
depression - 15%;
fatigue, drowsiness - 13%
decrease in immunity - 6%;
the first signs of pregnancy - discharge or implantation bleeding - only 3%.

Physiological first signs of pregnancy

What are the very first symptoms of pregnancy?

The most common physiological signs of pregnancy include:

Tender and enlarged breasts. Signs of pregnancy in the first days after conception include breast changes (1-2 weeks after conception). The area around the nipples, called the areola, may also darken.

Drowsiness and fatigue. Fatigue is also among the signs of pregnancy in the first days after conception. During early pregnancy, levels of the hormone progesterone rise dramatically, which can cause drowsiness.

Nausea with vomiting. When do these signs of pregnancy appear? Morning sickness, which can appear at any time of the day or night, often appears between the second and eighth weeks after conception.

Dizziness and fainting . This may be due to dilation of blood vessels, lowering blood pressure and blood sugar levels.

Spasms. Some women experience symptoms of pregnancy in the early days, such as mild uterine cramps.

Headaches and back pains. Many pregnant women complain of frequent headaches, while others experience back pain.

Insomnia - another first sign of pregnancy before the test. Causes can include stress, physical discomfort, and hormonal changes.

Change in taste preferences. Like most other symptoms of pregnancy, these eating habits can be attributed to hormonal changes.

Temperature. Early signs of pregnancy include fever (37-37.5).

Delayed menstruation. How long does it take for the first signs of pregnancy to appear? If you are of childbearing age and a week or more has passed without your expected period, you may be pregnant. However, this symptom can be misleading if you have an irregular menstrual cycle.

Bloody discharge - the first signs of pregnancy . This bleeding, known as implantation bleeding, occurs when a fertilized egg attaches to the lining of the uterus, approximately 10 to 14 days after conception.

Bloating, heartburn. Hormonal changes can cause problems with the stomach and esophagus - these are common signs of pregnancy at 2 weeks.

Constipation . Hormonal changes cause the digestive system to slow down, which can lead to constipation (signs of pregnancy after a delay).

Frequent urination. You may urinate more than usual, which is a common sign of pregnancy at 5 weeks. During pregnancy, the amount of blood in the body increases, causing the kidneys to process excess fluid that enters the bladder.

Runny nose. The appearance of this symptom is associated with excessive production of the hormone estrogen.

Exacerbation of chronic diseases. This is a sign of pregnancy after ovulation.

Increased salivation. Also associated with hormonal changes.

Sense of smell enhancement . Signs of pregnancy in the first two weeks may cause sensitivity to certain smells and the sense of taste may change.

Emotional first signs of pregnancy

The first signs of pregnancy before the delay (the earliest signs of pregnancy) include psycho-emotional symptoms.

Mood swings.
Irritability.
Vulnerability, tearfulness.
Capriciousness.
Depression.

These are all emotional signs of early pregnancy that many women report. They describe feelings of heightened emotion or even bouts of crying, which are associated with rapid changes in hormone levels in the body. Also, signs of pregnancy at week 4 can make you feel PMS-style cranky. In addition, about 15% of women suffer from depression or anxiety during pregnancy. And after childbirth, these conditions suffer even more. In this case, it is better to seek help from a doctor.

Do everything you can to improve your mood: get plenty of rest, eat well, get enough sleep, do things you love, and pamper yourself.

However, be aware that mood swings can be caused by a number of conditions other than pregnancy.

Influence of early pregnancy on daily routine

Early signs of pregnancy, mainly those that bring discomfort, can cause a change in daily routine. Here are some tips on what you can do with some of them:

In case of toxicosis, avoid too hot or too cold food - this provokes an attack of vomiting. Eat often - at least 5-6 times a day, but in small portions.
For nausea or vomiting, try ginger, chamomile, or vitamin B6.
Drink plenty of water, in small sips between meals, to replenish lost fluids. Teas, juices, fruit drinks are also suitable.
For back pain, wear shoes or shoe insoles designed for pregnant women and avoid high heels. Sleep on a firm mattress.
For chest discomfort, wear a special bra that supports enlarged breasts.
For constipation, eat more fiber-rich foods such as wheat bran and fresh vegetables and fruits.
If you suffer from headaches and mood swings, try stress reduction techniques such as yoga or meditation.
Be outdoors more often, at least half an hour a day. This helps to reduce the symptoms of toxicosis, calm the nervous system.
Maintain your daily physical activity for as long as it is convenient for you to perform certain activities.
Eat a balanced diet with enough proteins, fats and carbohydrates.

Important! All these tips are advisory in nature, be sure to consult your doctor if you encounter discomfort.

What to do if you notice early signs of pregnancy

To make sure the signs of pregnancy are accurate, you can use the following methods to diagnose early pregnancy:

Donate blood for hCG. This method can be used a few days after conception. This type of pregnancy test is done using a small sample of blood that is analyzed in a hospital. It determines whether there is a pregnancy hormone in your body and in what quantity. Its accuracy is 99%.
Use a test strip. It can be used at home from the first days of delay. To determine pregnancy, dip the reagent area of the test strip into the urine. Accuracy: 99%. You can buy Evitest or HomeTest test strips in our pharmacy.
Use jet or electronic test. They can be used at home a few days before your expected period. You need to remove its protective cap, substitute the test under the stream of urine for 10 seconds, and after 3-5 minutes get the result. Accuracy: 97%. In our pharmacy you can buy Evitest or Alpe inkjet tests.
Get your first ultrasound. You can use this method at 3-4 weeks from the start of a missed period. At this time, ultrasound will show the very fact of uterine pregnancy, and the place of attachment of the fetal egg is also determined. Accuracy: 100%.

First signs of pregnancy | A-Media Family Clinic

Signs of pregnancy

Pregnancy is an important and joyful event in a woman's life. Someone manages to conceive a child immediately, someone - only after unsuccessful attempts and long-term infertility treatment. But as soon as it is decided to have a baby, a woman is looking forward to seeing two strips in a pregnancy test. And time is taking so long! The first signs of pregnancy much earlier than any test can tell a woman that she is already pregnant.

If you have any problems or doubts, please contact our clinic in St. Petersburg. We will help you not only to accurately determine the presence and duration of pregnancy, but also to predict possible complications of bearing a child using modern methods.

When do the first signs of pregnancy appear?

Approximately six to seven days after conception, the first symptoms of pregnancy can be detected. It is important to know when you ovulated. About a week after the sperm and egg meet, hormonal changes in the body reach a level where they become noticeable to both the woman and, sometimes, those around her. Anxiety, irritability, tearfulness can accompany her from the first days of pregnancy to childbirth.

What are the first signs of pregnancy?

A woman can notice the symptoms of pregnancy already in the first days. A week after conception, a fertilized egg is introduced into the mucous membrane of the uterine wall. The process is sometimes accompanied by a slight bleeding (or spotting). Pinkish scanty discharge (so-called implantation bleeding) is the first symptom of pregnancy. But most often the woman does not pay attention to them.

Cramps and aching pains in the lower abdomen also warn of pregnancy. They are determined by the tone of the uterus, which will soon become a cozy home for the child.

An increase in basal temperature is considered one of the most reliable signs of pregnancy. Let's see how to measure it. In the morning, lying in bed, insert the thermometer into the rectum. During ovulation, the temperature usually rises to 37 ° C and above, and then drops. And when pregnancy occurs, it will remain elevated. Although there are exceptions, this happens with diseases of various kinds.

Quite often women tell that they have guessed about pregnancy by changes in their breasts. The bra suddenly became tight, the breasts became very sensitive, the areola circles darkened, droplets of liquid began to stand out from the nipples.

Many mothers-to-be feel sleepy and fatigued from the first days.

It happens that women become sensitive to smells and develop addictions to certain foods that were previously unusual for them. Sometimes in the first days after conception in the morning (and not only) nausea appears.

You may have only one or more of the above pregnancy symptoms. It happens that early symptoms are minor, and you may not pay attention to them. Perhaps most of these sensations will remain with you until childbirth. Or maybe you won’t even guess about your position before the delay, or, conversely, you will come up with signs of pregnancy for yourself, hoping for a long-awaited event. However, signs of pregnancy at a later date will dispel doubts in any case.

What are the signs of later pregnancy?

Signs of pregnancy are divided today into hypothetical, probable and reliable.

Presumptive signs are those that we talked about above. The condition of a woman may even resemble a cold.

More accurate criteria for determining pregnancy are the probable symptoms of pregnancy.

The first signal that prompts you to take a test is usually a delay in menstruation. But we must keep in mind: even with a regular cycle, there are failures. Stress, illness, lack of sleep, diet, lactation, etc. can contribute to the delay. There are also situations when pregnancy is accompanied by discharge, which is taken for menstruation. This often happens when there is a threat of termination of pregnancy.

Possible signs of pregnancy include increased sensitivity and breast engorgement, increased urination (especially at night).

Some of the likely signs of pregnancy can only be determined at a doctor's appointment.
