Boston,
There are several early signs of pregnancy, which delight parents-to-be with increasing hope, before the final joyful confirmation of the new life growing within the mother. Different women have different reactions, but generally, there are ten factors, each of which is considered an early symptom.
The First Signs Of A New Life
A missed period is the most common early sign of pregnancy, although this can also be due to other reasons like stress, medication or illness as well. Some women have faint spotting and minor cramps soon after implantation of the sperm in the wall of the uterus. This is nothing like a normal period; bleeding is much lighter.
Soon after conception, the breasts of most pregnant women enlarge. Soreness is also a regular symptom. Another symptom of pregnancy is increased dark pigments in the skin surrounding the nipples, or areolas.
From about a fortnight after conception onwards, many women fall victim to the least pleasant part of pregnancy – morning sickness. This early sign of pregnancy can occur throughout the day, although most mothers-to-be feel queasy only during the first few months of pregnancy, many also suffer from nausea for almost nine months.
The fourth early symptom is fatigue. Extreme tiredness and exhaustion without real cause can be indicative of pregnancy soon after conception.
Backaches are another unpleasant early signs of pregnancy – lower back pain which is common in the first few months, often subsides to a less painful, but constant pain in the latter part of the pregnancy. Headaches, due to hormonal changes taking place in a pregnant woman’s body, can also occur soon after conception.
Women who are expecting start urinating more often than usual, mainly about 45 days after the baby has been conceived. This is another sign of conception.
Everyone knows about the uncontrollable desire to eat certain foods. Some women crave sour things like pickle or chutney, while others demand sweets. This is not only an early sign of pregnancy; it lasts throughout the nine month gestation period.
Are Congratulations In Order?
Like delayed or missed menstruation, all these early signs of pregnancy could have other explanations such as a hormonal imbalance, drastic weight gain or loss, dehydration, infections and so on. However, if you experience more than one or two of these factors, there is a good chance that you are pregnant, and should take a test to confirm.
