Your stomach may feel different during first time pregnant symptoms. When the male’s sperm fertilizes the female’s egg, you become pregnant. This process is termed fertilization. Every pregnancy and person is unique, so the symptoms differ from the others.

Some women may face symptoms within one week after conception. However, some people may not experience any symptoms for several months. Here are some of the symptoms that your stomach may feel when you’re pregnant for the first time. Placental Insufficiency

Nausea or Morning Sickness

Nausea is a condition in which pregnant women tend to vomit frequently. It occurs mostly early in the morning. This is called morning sickness. It does not, however, have to happen only in the morning. It can happen any time during the day.

You will notice a yellow or green liquid in your stomach if you vomit first thing in the morning. As no food is present in your stomach, bile is released. 

Most pregnant women experience nausea or morning sickness during the first trimester of their pregnancy. It eases out as the pregnancy advances for most women. Angiogram

Cramps in lower abdomen as an first time pregnant symptoms

After conception, the fertilized egg sticks to the uterus walls and grows there during the whole pregnancy. This is called implantation. 

During the implantation process, some pregnant women may experience lower abdominal cramps. It happens as the egg moves, tearing through the uterus tissues.

As the baby grows, the uterus starts to stretch and grow. This also creates cramps in your lower abdomen.

Bloating/ Gas as an first time pregnant symptoms

Bloating/Gas is another common symptom in most women during pregnancy. It happens in the first trimester. 

In the first few months, progesterone is produced. But, increased Progesterone production slows down the digestion process. It causes trapped gasses in the intestines resulting in bloating. 

Constipation in pregnant

Again the hormone Progesterone is responsible for constipation. Constipation is the result of the relaxed intestinal movement, which causes slower food digestion.

The Iron and Vitamin supplements prescribed to you also make the condition worse. Constipation may sometimes result in slight pain and make you feel uncomfortable.

 Acid Reflux

The hormone Progesterone causes various body muscles to relax during pregnancy. Inflammation of the stomach results in discomfort on the stomach.

It can happen when you bend forward or lie on the bed. Acid reflux may result in a bitter taste on your tongue. 

Food cravings/ Food aversions

Pregnant women sometimes experience strong urges to eat a particular food. The cravings are just as sour as the eating. Generally, they experience cravings to eat anything sweet like chocolates, sweets, cakes, or something salty or spicy. 

Sometimes they tend to eat different food combinations they hadn’t liked before. And, sometimes they do not like eating foods they ate in the past. Aversions to food are a phenomenon that come from an eating disorder.
