The Early Signs of Pregnancy

March 13, 2014 By Jon Leave a Comment

Many women won­der if they are pregnant, and need to take a pregnan­cy test. The­re are signi­fi­cant tell-tale signs of pregnan­cy, which often inclu­de nau­sea, fati­gue and ten­der bre­asts. Many of the sym­ptoms often arri­ve wit­hin the first few weeks fol­lowing con­cep­ti­on. Below are many of the com­mon sym­ptoms of ear­ly pregnancy.

For women wan­ting to know whe­ther they should take a pregnan­cy test, the ear­ly pregnan­cy sym­ptoms are often an obvious indi­ca­tor that some­thing is hap­pe­ning in the body. That uncom­for­ta­ble fee­ling of fati­gue, bloa­ting and bre­ast ten­der­ness usual­ly arri­ving just befo­re a peri­od often makes it more dif­fi­cult to know the dif­fe­rence of whe­ther your mens­tru­al cycle is about to start, or if you are pregnant.

Ear­ly Sym­ptoms of Pregnancy

Many women expe­ri­ence the same types of sym­ptoms and signs during the ear­ly sta­ges of pregnan­cy. The­se include:

? Swol­len, Ten­der Bre­asts ? Often times, the ear­ly signs of pregnan­cy inclu­de ten­der bre­asts and beco­me swol­len in size, as levels of pro­ges­te­ro­ne and est­ro­gen incre­a­se. In addi­ti­on, women often expe­ri­ence ten­der­ness around the nipp­le, with bre­ast and feel sore and tingly.

? Ongo­ing Fati­gue ? Pregnan­cy is hard work, as the body kicks into high gear to estab­lish a life sup­por­ting sys­tem to main­tain the body, pla­cen­ta and the womb. Working that hard crea­tes a huge amount of fati­gue, which does not seem to let up during the ent­i­re nine months.

? Cram­ping and Blee­ding ? Implan­ta­ti­on blee­ding or light spot­ting, befo­re an expec­ted peri­od, often hap­pens up to 10 days after con­cei­ving. Often times this is an indi­ca­tor that the fer­ti­li­zed embryo has beco­me implan­ted onto the ute­ri­ne wall. Many women will expe­ri­ence a high level of abdo­mi­nal cram­ping during the first few weeks after con­cep­ti­on that often mimics mens­tru­al cramps. Just a small per­cen­ta­ge of pregnant women expe­ri­ence cram­ping or implan­ta­ti­on blee­ding. Becau­se of that, women might not know they are pregnant becau­se they did not expe­ri­ence the­se symptoms.

? Nau­sea and Incre­a­sed Sen­se of Smell ? Morning sick­ness as a result of pregnan­cy is often a tale tell sign of the quea­sy sen­sa­ti­on in the sto­mach. As pro­ges­te­ro­ne, a fema­le hor­mo­ne, ele­va­tes in the body, it cau­ses the sto­mach to empty at a slower rate. At the same time, ele­va­ted est­ro­gen and hCG (human cho­rio­nic gona­do­tro­pin) cau­sed by the pregnan­cy can crea­te nau­sea in the body. In addi­ti­on, many pregnant women expe­ri­ence an incre­a­se sen­sa­ti­on of smell, making even the mil­dest odor extre­me­ly unappealing.

? Food Cra­vings and Aver­si­ons ? Expec­tant mothers often expe­ri­ence a high level of cra­vings, wan­ting to con­su­me a varie­ty of bad foods and bever­a­ges inclu­ding alco­hol and cof­fee, while aver­ting qua­li­ty foods that might help impro­ve the health of the mother and child.

? Fre­quent Uri­na­ti­on ? Usual­ly the first 21 days fol­lowing con­cep­ti­on gene­ra­tes an incre­a­sed need to uri­na­te. Many women during ear­ly sta­ges of pregnan­cy have that ongo­ing ?got to go? sen­sa­ti­on as the hCG pregnan­cy hor­mo­ne incre­a­ses blood flow cir­cu­la­ti­on to the kid­neys. In addi­ti­on, the gro­wing ute­rus puts signi­fi­cant pres­su­re direct­ly over the blad­der, crea­ting a smal­ler sto­rage area to hold uri­ne, and incre­a­sing the sen­sa­ti­on of the need to go more frequently.

? Bloa­ting ? Expe­ri­en­cing chal­len­ges when but­to­ning a pair of blue jeans might be an unex­pec­ted result of ear­ly pregnan­cy. This is becau­se the body easi­ly bloats as the pro­ges­te­ro­ne hor­mo­ne levels incre­a­se, slowing down diges­ti­on, and rob­bing nut­ri­ents stored in the body to feed the baby.

Usual­ly, the first tri­mes­ter has a varie­ty of sym­ptoms inclu­ding back pain, sore bre­asts, and a heigh­te­ned sen­se of smell. In addi­ti­on, the­re may be unusu­al signs and sym­ptoms inclu­ding a pale yel­low or sti­cky white dischar­ge that could be the signs of an infec­tion, along with exces­si­ve gas along with abnor­mal skin conditions.
