Symptoms of pregnancy
1. Spotting and cramping
After conception, the fertilized egg anchors itself to the uterus. This can cause an early sign of pregnancy which is spotting and cramping. This is known as implantation bleeding, which occurs from six to 12 days after egg fertilization. The cramps are similar to menstrual cramps, and some women misinterpret them and the bleeding for the beginning of their period. However, the bleeding and cramps are slight.
2. Breast changes
Breast changes are another sign of pregnancy. A woman’s hormone levels change suddenly after conception. Their breasts can become sore, swollen, or tingly a week or two later due to changes. They can feel heavier or feel tender to touch. The area around the nipple can appear darker.
3. Fatigue
Feeling tired during pregnancy is normal. You can start feeling abnormally fatigued one week after conceiving. It is related to high levels of progesterone hormone, but other things like low blood pressure, low levels of blood sugar, and a boost in blood production can contribute. You should get plenty of rest if the fatigue is related to pregnancy.
4. Mourning sickness (nausea)
Morning sickness is a common symptom of pregnancy, but not everyone gets it. The actual cause of morning sickness is not clear, but pregnancy hormones can contribute to it. Nausea during pregnancy can happen at any time during the day, mainly in the morning.
Some women crave or cannot stand some foods during pregnancy. This can be related to hormonal changes. The effect can be extreme; even the favorite food can upset a pregnant woman’s stomach. It’s possible that cravings, nausea, and food aversions can still exist throughout the pregnancy. You should make sure you eat a healthy diet so that you and the infant get essential nutrients.
5. Missed period
A missed period is the apparent symptom of pregnancy that makes most women take a pregnancy test, but not all delayed or missed periods lead to pregnancy. You can experience bleeding during pregnancy, but you should talk to your doctor to be sure if the bleeding is expected or if it is a sign of an emergency.
There are other possible reasons for missing periods. You might have lost or gained too much weight, hormone problems, stress, or fatigue. Some ladies miss periods when they quit birth control pills, but when a period is late, and pregnancy is likely, you can get a test.
Pregnancy symptoms vary for every woman. Some women can notice symptoms like headaches or spotting during the first week of the pregnancy. Others can only have missed periods or have no symptoms at all. For a happy and healthy pregnancy, contact Christopher K. Quinsey, MD. If you have a strange sign, you should talk to your doctor to prevent a miscarriage.
