1.\u00a0Missed Period: The Most Obvious Clue<\/span><\/h3>\n

This<\/span> is usually the initial alarm.\u00a0If <\/span>you’re<\/span> having your period as regular and then suddenly does not show, then <\/span>it’s<\/span> the right is it time to take note of this.\u00a0<\/span>This<\/span> might not always indicate pregnancy, but <\/span>it’s<\/span> the most reliable indication.<\/span><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Fatigue: Why Am I So Tired All The Time?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Are you feeling exhausted by 3 p.m. <\/span>at<\/span> which point<\/span> you typically get through the day?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>It’s<\/span> your hormone\u00a0progesterone–it increases early during the pregnancy process and makes you feel as if <\/span>you’ve<\/span> completed the marathon, even if <\/span>you’ve<\/span> walked for a few minutes to get through the kitchen.<\/span><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Nausea and Morning Sickness (That Shows Up All Day)<\/span><\/h3>\n

It’s<\/span> known as\u00a0Morning sickness\u00a0However, whoever came up with the name <\/span>the sickness<\/span> has clearly not had it before 10 p.m.\u00a0It usually starts during week 6 and may appear before that time.\u00a0It can range from <\/span>a slight nausea, to vomiting that is complete<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Tender, Swollen Breasts<\/span><\/h3>\n

One of the first signs that women will notice is\u00a0Boobs that are tingly either tingly, achy, or heavy.\u00a0The hormonal changes can make your breast tissue more prone to irritation, and your body is getting ready to give birth.<\/span><\/p>\n

5.\u00a0Mood Swings: Crying Over TV Commercials?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Are you feeling like <\/span>you’re<\/span> riding an emotional ride?\u00a0<\/span>You’re<\/span> crying one minute and then taking a snap another?\u00a0The hormones may be at fault.\u00a0If <\/span>you’re<\/span> reacting to certain situations more strongly than <\/span>normal<\/span>, that may be an indication.<\/span><\/p>\n

6.\u00a0Food Aversions or Cravings<\/span><\/h3>\n

The<\/span> sandwich <\/span>that<\/span> you\u00a0<\/span>enjoyed<\/span>\u00a0the other week?<\/span>\u00a0The smell now makes you gag.\u00a0Maybe <\/span>you’re<\/span> craving peanut butter and pickles (together).\u00a0Strange fluctuations in appetite and taste are <\/span>normal<\/span> for the early stages of pregnancy.<\/span><\/p>\n

7.\u00a0Frequent Urination<\/span><\/h3>\n

If <\/span>you’re<\/span> going to your<\/span> bathroom more frequently than normal, especially at night, <\/span>it’s<\/span> only within your head.\u00a0Being pregnant can increase blood flow to your kidneys and <\/span>makes<\/span> your bladder work more efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n

8.\u00a0Light Spotting or Cramping<\/span><\/h3>\n

Also referred to as\u00a0bleeding during implantation\u00a0or implantation bleeding, light spots may occur after the fertilized egg <\/span>is stuck<\/span> in the uterus.\u00a0<\/span>This<\/span> is <\/span>a lot<\/span> lighter than normal menstrual flow <\/span>and typically<\/span> brown or pink.<\/span>\u00a0There may be some light cramping as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

9.\u00a0Bloating: Feeling Puffy?<\/span><\/h3>\n

The early stages of pregnancy may make you similar to PMS.\u00a0<\/span>This<\/span> is due to hormones that slow down the digestion.\u00a0As a result?\u00a0<\/span>It’s<\/span> like feeling as if you had a big meal even if you <\/span>didn’t<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

10.\u00a0Headaches and Dizziness<\/span><\/h3>\n

The fluctuation in hormone levels, along with variations in blood pressure <\/span>as well as<\/span> blood <\/span>volume<\/span> can contribute to dizziness and headaches.\u00a0If <\/span>you’re<\/span> experiencing headaches, when <\/span>you’re<\/span> not<\/span> consider it a sign of something else.<\/span><\/p>\n

11.\u00a0Constipation: The Not-So-Fun Symptom<\/span><\/h3>\n

The same<\/span> digestion slowdown that causes constipation<\/span>?\u00a0Yes, it could cause constipation as well.\u00a0The increased progesterone levels relax muscles, including those <\/span>that are<\/span> in the digestive tract. <\/span>This<\/span> slows the process down.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"free<\/p>\n

12.\u00a0Raised Basal Body Temperature (BBT)<\/span><\/h3>\n

If <\/span>you’ve<\/span> been keeping track of your BBT (a commonly used method for fertility<\/span>) <\/span>an increase in the BBT may be beyond the typical period.\u00a0If you have a steady <\/span>excessively<\/span> high <\/span>BBT<\/span> longer than 18 days following the ovulation date could indicate the possibility of pregnancy.<\/span><\/p>\n

13.\u00a0Metallic Taste in Your Mouth<\/span><\/h3>\n

A few women report a peculiar metallic taste <\/span>that they feel<\/span> in their mouths in the early stages of <\/span>pregnancies<\/span>.\u00a0This is known as\u00a0dysgeusia\u00a0although the name sounds a bit like robotic name<\/span>, <\/span>it’s<\/span> really just another bizarre (but non-threatening) sign.<\/span><\/p>\n

14.\u00a0Heightened Sense of Smell<\/span><\/h3>\n

You’re<\/span> suddenly smelling of the food your neighbours cook?\u00a0This super-power smell is due to the hormones that cause pregnancy.\u00a0Strong odours can trigger nausea in <\/span>certain<\/span> women.<\/span><\/p>\n

15.\u00a0Feeling<\/span> “<\/span>Different<\/span>” <\/span>– Trusting Your Gut<\/span><\/h3>\n

There may not be any physical evidence <\/span>at all<\/span>, just an overwhelming, gut-level sensation that something has changed.\u00a0Be aware of that feeling.\u00a0Your body is <\/span>smarter<\/span> than you imagine <\/span>It’s<\/span> usually the first to figure out <\/span>what’s<\/span> going on<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

When Should You Take a Pregnancy Test?<\/span><\/h3>\n

If <\/span>you’ve<\/span> seen several of these indicators then <\/span>it’s<\/span> time to take <\/span>a examination.\u00a0A majority of<\/span> home tests are valid within a week of <\/span>the absence of a period<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>To get the most accurate test results, do your test early at the beginning of your day <\/span>when the urine concentration is highest<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

What If the Test Is Negative But You Still Feel Pregnant?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Sometimes, <\/span>it’s<\/span> simply too early for an accurate result.\u00a0Take a couple of days to check again.\u00a0<\/span>If your menstrual cycle <\/span>doesn’t<\/span> show <\/span>in<\/span> the same way or <\/span>if symptoms start to become worse<\/span>, get a medical check-up to rule out possible factors.<\/span><\/p>\n
