Saturday, September 26th, 2009

The early warning symptom of pregnancy will be different with different women but an unusual period or one missed altogether is something every woman recognizes. For some women, the symptoms of pregnancy begin as early as the same week of being impregnated. In some women, the early symptoms of pregnancy will not be apparent until weeks later or not at all.  You should always call your doctor when you suspect symptoms of being pregnant or weight gain during pregnancy.

In about 6 to 12 days the embryo implants itself into the uterine wall. Some women will have some spotting and a little cramping when this happens.   Most women recognize the missed period as an early indication of pregnancy and if there has been sexual activity she needs to get a pregnancy test. It is normal to miss the next period after becoming pregnant. There are a few women do still continue to have menstrual periods but they will be very light and for a very short time.

Another symptom of pregnancy is somewhere between one and two weeks after conception the breasts will become tender and swollen. The skin around the nipple will become a darker shade. Fatigue is a symptom that begins in the first week after becoming pregnant. You should always contact your doctor when having any first trimester pregnancy.

Most women will have nausea in the early stages of pregnancy and will even experience it for the rest of the time they are pregnant. Most women will have morning sickness anywhere from two to eight weeks but other will never have nausea. Another common sign of early pregnancy is lower back pain and this may be a condition that persists as a muted pain. Headaches may result from the changing hormones in the beginning of the pregnancy.

  Having to make several trips to the bathroom to urinate is yet another sign of early pregnancy that will begin about six weeks into the pregnancy. An unusual longing for certain foods is a sign of pregnancy. Pickles combined with ice cream are the commonly known food craving that accompanies being pregnant but the cravings a pregnant woman does have may not be these but will continue until she gives birth. To ensure the safety of yourself and possibly that of your baby it is best to use a home pregnancy test and then follow it up with a visit to your health care professional.
