Symptoms of Pregnancy- Signs you should know

Are you wondering if you are pregnant? The only way to know for sure is to have a pregnancy test. But it shows that early symptoms of pregnancy may occur.

 How soon do early symptoms of pregnancy begin? 

Some women may experience early signs and symptoms during the first few weeks of pregnancy in the first trimester, while others may develop symptoms during pregnancy. Early signs and symptoms of pregnancy may be similar to the symptoms experienced before menstruation, so a woman may not recognize the symptoms associated with pregnancy. 

Are the symptoms of pregnancy same for every woman?

 Pregnancy symptoms may vary between different women. They can vary in quality or severity and not all women experience the same symptoms during each pregnancy. The first signs and symptoms of pregnancy can also be seen at different stages of pregnancy.

 A pregnancy test is a diagnostic test for pregnancy based on the level of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in the urine or blood. HCG is a hormone produced after the fertilized egg enters the uterine wall. Modern home pregnancy tests before a missed menstrual period can sometimes be positive. 

Blood tests can detect pregnancy earlier than a urine test. 

This article describes the most common symptoms of early pregnancy. You need to know that these symptoms can be caused by something other than pregnancy. So just because you see some of these symptoms does not mean you are pregnant. The only method that can be said for sure is a pregnancy test.

Spotting and Cramping

The fertilized egg attaches itself to the wall of the uterus after conception. 

This can cause one of the after conceptions, the fertilized egg attaches to the wall of the uterus. This can be one of the first signs of pregnancy – scarring and, sometimes, pain. This calls implantation bleeding. It occurs anywhere from six to twelve days after fertilization of the egg. 

Because the pain is similar to menstrual cramps, some women misunderstand it and start bleeding at the beginning of their period. However, the bleeding and pain are minor. In addition to bleeding, a woman may notice a white, milky discharge from her vagina. It associates with swelling of the walls of the vagina and begins immediately after conception. 

An increase in the number of cells in the vagina causes the discharge. This discharge, which can last throughout pregnancy, is usually harmless and does not require treatment. But if you have a discharge-related odor or sensitivity to burning and itching, tell your doctor then you can be tested for a yeast or bacterial infection.

Here are some signs of implantation bleeding:

Color: 

The color of each episode can be pink, red, or brown.

• Bleeding: 

Bleeding is usually comparing to your normal menstrual period. Staining is defined as the presence of blood only during wiping.

•  Pain: 

The pain can be mild, moderate, or severe. According to a study of 4,539 women, 28 percent of women associated their spots and light bleeding with pain.

•  Episodes: 

Transplant bleeding lasts less than three days and does not require treatment.

Avoid smoking, alcohol, or illegal drugs associated with excessive bleeding.

Breast Changes, a symptom of pregnancy.

Breast augmentation is another early sign of pregnancy. A woman’s hormone levels change rapidly after pregnancy. As a result of the changes, her breasts will swell, sore throat or fatigue after a week or two. They may feel heavier or fuller. 

 The area around of nipple is called the areola. But if changes are an early symptom of pregnancy, keep in mind that it can take weeks to adjust to new hormone levels. But when that happens, breast pain should subside.

Tips:

• Soften the breasts by purchasing a comfortable supportive maternity bra. A cotton, underwear bra is often more comfortable. 
• Choose one with a variety of claps that allow you to “grow” more in the coming months. 
• Buy breast pads that fit your breasts to reduce the risk of nipple and nipple discomfort.

Fatigue in pregnancy

It is normal to feel very tired during pregnancy. One week after conception, a woman may experience abnormal fatigue. 

Why?

 It is often linked to high levels of a hormone called progesterone, but can all contribute to low blood sugar, lower blood pressure, and increased blood production. If fatigue associates with pregnancy, it is important to get enough rest. It can be relieved by eating a diet rich in protein and iron.

Tips:

You may feel tired in the early weeks of pregnancy. Try to get enough sleep. It also helps keep your bedroom cool. Your body temperature may rise in the early stages of pregnancy.

Nausea (Morning Sickness) as a symptom of pregnancy

Morning sickness is a well-known symptom of pregnancy. But not every pregnant woman gets it. The exact cause of morning sickness does not know but pregnancy hormones contribute to this symptom. 

During pregnancy, nausea can occur at any time of the day, but most often in the morning. Also, some women crave certain foods when they are pregnant, or can’t stand it. It is also linked to hormonal changes. The effect is so strong that treating it as a favorite food can turn a pregnant woman’s stomach upside down. 

Nausea, cravings, and food intolerances may persist throughout pregnancy. Fortunately, most women have low symptoms by the 13th or 14th week of pregnancy. In the meantime, make sure you and your growing baby eat a healthy diet to get the essential nutrients. You can talk to your doctor for advice on this.

Tips:

• Keep a package of salt shakers near your bed and eat a little before you wake up in the morning. 
• Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. 
• Consult your doctor if you are unable to lose fluids or food.

Missed Period is a symptom of Pregnancy

The most obvious early symptom of pregnancy – and the urge for many women to get a pregnancy test is a missed period. But not every missed or delayed period is caused by pregnancy. Also, women may experience some bleeding during pregnancy. 

If you are pregnant, ask your doctor what you need to know about bleeding. For example, when is bleeding normal and when is it a sign of an emergency?

 In addition to pregnancy, there are reasons to miss a certain period of time. Maybe you are overweight or underweight. Hormonal problems, fatigue, or stress are other possibilities. Sometimes women miss their period when they stop taking birth control pills. But if you get pregnant too late, you may want to have a pregnancy test.

Tips:

• Get a pregnancy test to know if you are pregnant. If it is positive, contact your doctor or midwife to schedule your first pregnancy. 
• If you have any medications, ask your doctor if they pose any risk to your growing child.

Raised body temperature during early pregnancy

High basal body temperature can be a sign of pregnancy. Your body temperature can rise more easily during exercise or in hot weather. During this time, you should make sure you drink plenty of water and exercise carefully.

 Increased heart rate during early pregnancy

At 8 to 10 weeks, your heart begins to pump faster and harder. Pulse and arthritis are more common during pregnancy. 

This is usually due to hormones. Increased blood flow to the fetus occurs later in pregnancy. Management begins before pregnancy, but if you have an underlying heart attack, your doctor may be able to monitor a lower medical dose.

Changes in mood during early pregnancy

Your estrogen and progesterone levels are high during pregnancy. This increase affects your mood and makes you more emotional or reactive than ever. 

Mood swings are common during pregnancy and can cause feelings of depression, irritability, anxiety, and joy.

Frequent urination and incontinence during early pregnancy

Increases the amount of blood your body pumps during pregnancy. This causes the kidneys to process more fluid than usual, causing more fluid in the bladder. 

Hormones play a big role in bladder health. You seem to leak frequently or accidentally. 

Tips:

• Drink 300 ml (a little more than a cup) of extra fluid every day. 
• Plan your bathroom trips in advance to avoid embarrassment.

Bloating and constipation during early pregnancy

Similar to the symptoms of menstruation, swelling can occur in the early stages of pregnancy. This can be due to hormonal changes that can slow down your digestive system. 

As a result, you will feel constipation and blockage. Constipation also increases the feeling of bloating in the abdomen.

High blood pressure and dizziness during early pregnancy

Mostly, high or normal blood pressure will drop in the early stages of pregnancy. This causes a feeling of dizziness as your blood vessels become dilapidated. Determining high blood pressure as a result of pregnancy is more difficult. During the first 20 weeks or so, high blood pressure is almost always present. It can develop in early pregnancy but it can be premature. Your doctor will take your blood pressure on your first visit to establish a basic basis for reading normal blood pressure.

 Tips:

• If you have not yet, consider switching to pregnancy-friendly exercise.
• Learn how to monitor your blood pressure regularly.
• Ask your doctor about personal dietary guidelines that can help lower blood pressure. 
• Drink plenty of water and snacks regularly to prevent dizziness. 
• Getting up slowly when getting up from a chair also helps. 

A pregnant woman has all of these symptoms, or only one or two. If any of these symptoms are bothersome, talk to your doctor about them and you can make a plan to alleviate them.
