– Checklist for early signs of pregnancy.

How will I know that I am pregnant? You forgot to use contraceptive measures during your last sexual activity, and now you are plagued with the anxiety of becoming pregnant.

If you know your body perfectly, then it is not a tough deal for you. You will be able to know a lot earlier whether you are pregnant or not.

Unfortunately, in some cases, women are unsure about their current fertility status. Not every female experiences the same pregnancy symptom; hence, they usually know about it after several weeks have passed when they realize they missed their first menstruation cycle.

This is perhaps one of the most common signs of pregnancy. This feature lets you know what other indicators warrant a pregnancy diagnosis.

Increased appetite

It can be one of the indicators of pregnancy, but increased appetite does not assure that you are expecting.

Sometimes, a deficiency of a particular nutrient in your body also causes this. However, you can use it as one of the presumptive signs if one of the other symptoms mentioned in the list accompanies it.

Areolas Getting Darker

Are the colorful rings around your nipples getting darker? You should take a pregnancy test, as it assures you have successfully conceived. However, sometimes, darkened skin of the areolas results from hormonal imbalance and can be an effect of past pregnancy.

Cramping and Blood Staining

If you experience a blood spot that is slight staining of pink or brown color almost after eight days of ovulation, then have it confirmed. This is considered a trusted symptom of pregnancy. This is often a result of burrowing the fertilized egg into the endometrial lining. This process is termed ‘implantation’ (implantation bleeding).

Frequent Urination 

Nowadays, you are rushing towards the restroom quite frequently. Why would you not get a pregnancy test? This is also a possible sign of pregnancy, although it is not an assured indication. Soon after the embryo has been implanted, the human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) level rises, increasing urination frequency in a pregnant woman.

A continued feeling of getting tired

You are suffering from weariness. Surely, you have not done anything exhausting, but the fatigue problem persists.

This is the time when you observe what else is irritating you, as fatigue is one of the most overt problems during the early days of pregnancy.

Nevertheless, in many cases, ‘low energy’ propels one for continued tiredness, but if it comes with any of the other symptoms mentioned on this list, then pregnancy is most probable.

Swollen Breasts

In normal cases of pregnancy, the breast becomes sore. This is almost like the way one feels before her menstrual period. This happens due to certain hormonal imbalances, which make your busts tender.

Nothing is tasty for you.

You are experiencing an altered sense of taste. Whatever you liked earlier is not that pleasing to your preference now, and all the time, you feel as if there is some metallic taste in your mouth. Take note that this is something that can be an indication of pregnancy.

Morning Sickness

This symptom does not hit every pregnant woman, but in most cases, women feel morning sickness a few weeks after her sexual contact. In some cases, the situation becomes more complicated when feelings of nausea are also present.

A Missed Period

Your periods are very regular, but they did not arrive on time last month. To add to your anxiety, you did not use contraception the last time you had intercourse.

Dear, you must go for a pregnancy test, as this is the most common pregnancy symptom. If ever you are not having regular menstruations during your cycle but are currently observing a great change in your metabolism that is accompanied by any of the above-listed pregnancy signs, then go for a checkup before jumping to conclusions as to why you missed your period this month.

Increased sensitivity to odors

Normally, newly pregnant females feel like getting away from the area where the aroma of certain eatables spreads. This can be a cup of coffee,’ ‘boiled eggs,’ and ‘fried onions’ among others. Aromas of these eatables make suspected pregnant women nauseated. The increased quantity of estrogen in their body triggers this change.

The high temperature of the basal body

If you happen to make a chart of your body temperature and, for the last few days, you are experiencing an increment in this temperature, then there may be something going on. You must first check your table properly if it is already more than 18 days since your basal body temperature is increasing. This is most likely the same date when you were with your mate. Your anticipation can be true because you might be an expectant mother.

Unusual Sensation

Pregnancy generally deals with altering hormones, which can leave you feeling distended. This is much like the sensation you feel on the days just before your menstruation cycle.

Abdominal Bloating

You are having abdominal bloating, which you usually experience during your period days, but it is happening earlier this time. Check this list. If it accompanies any of the other symptoms of pregnancy, then this may signal that you will become a would-be mom.

Getting Faint

This is common among future moms. Though it happens just once or twice, women usually experience fainting episodes during the early days of pregnancy.

If you have experienced the same, you are also in the queue, although sometimes this situation can happen because of ‘low energy’ and ‘anemia problems.’

Constipation

You are noticing a bizarre change in your bowels. Moreover, your intestines are relaxed and functioning less. An alteration in your hormones, which is supposed to be an important pregnancy signal, can trigger this symptom—most of the time, constipation results from irregular eating habits. Still, you should check if your pregnancy strip is amalgamated with swollen breasts, morning sickness, blood spots, or other indicators.

If you are going through all of these sudden changes in your body and still unsure about your pregnancy, then you must take a home pregnancy test as its outcome will surely assure you a more definite result.

Even though the date of your first period has not arrived yet and you are experiencing all these signs, you should check your status using a pregnancy strip. If it turns blue, it is time to consult your doctor because you will likely become a mom soon.
