Boston: Pregnancy Symptoms - Am I Pregnant? Check These 9 Top Early Signs of Pregnancy

Boston,

Knowing just when you got pregnant will help in management of pregnancy including determining the EDD (expected day of delivery). Most women never really know the early signs of pregnancy when they are pregnant. They therefore continue to indulge in lifestyles that place the fetus at risk of either miscarriage or deformities.

The following are some of the 9 early signs of pregnancy.

1. Morning sickness: This is the most common early sign of pregnancy. For a first time pregnancy, most women will not even know that the pregnancy has occurred. The woman may rush to the hospital especially if there were no home pregnancy tests administered.

2. Moody feeling: Most women will have mood swings in the early stages of pregnancy to the end of the first trimester. This is occasioned by the hormonal imbalances that take place.

3. Craving for particular foods: The woman may desire particular foods at particular times. This can persist even during odd hours like late in the night when food stores are closed.

4. Fatigue: This is also among the early signs of pregnancy and it occurs due to the increased demand for energy and food substrate sources.

5. Bleeding (brownish matter): Pink or brownish fluid will be discharged from the vaginal in the first few weeks of pregnancy. These are discharges of the unfertilized sperms and the broken ova.

6. Stiffening breasts: The breasts of the women would become more sensitive and the nipples can become sore. This is one of the early signs of pregnancy but may vary from one woman to another.

7. Urine pregnancy test: This is the surest way of proving that an early pregnancy has taken place. It is works through the change in the pH of the urine as a result of the pregnancy. This is therefore one of the earliest signs of pregnancy.

8. Reduced desire for sex: most women will complain of headaches and reduced desire for sex. Some women may even develop deep hatred for their spouse or sex partner. It does not mean that she is no longer interested in the relationship, instead, it actually brings to foe the fact that it is early signs of pregnancy.

9. Missed period: This will be observed at the end of the first month. It happens as a result of the fertilization and the need to supply the fetus with the food through the umbilical cord.
