Top 10 Very Early Pregnancy Signs
Here are the top 10 very early pregnancy signs that will help you to solve the burning question - Am I pregnant?
These 10 pregnancy signs can all be present, or you may only have a few of them. Some women report not having any very early pregnancy signs at all except for a positive pregnancy test.
1. Fatigue. Due to the increase in hormone levels, most women begin to feel extreme fatigue as one of their very early signs of pregnancy.
2. Sore breasts and/or nipples. Many women feel that their breasts are fuller and more tender with their nipples being more sensitive during early pregnancy.
3. Cramping and/or bloating. This is one of the first symptoms of pregnancy and tends to feel very much like your period is coming.
4. Spotting. This light bleeding is called implantation spotting and is caused by the fertilized egg embedding into the lining of the uterus. Many women feel that their period is beginning, but it is actually one of their pregnancy first signs.
5. Nausea and/or vomiting. Normally, morning sickness won't occur until about a month after conception, and some escape this pregnancy symptom altogether.
6. Increased urination. This symptom of early pregnancy occurs due to the increase in blood and other body fluids, which ends up being processed by the kidneys and ending up in the bladder. This increase in urination will most likely only worsen as your pregnancy progresses.
7. Missed period. This is one of the earliest pregnancy symptoms, especially if your menstrual period is pretty regular. You may notice a missed period before any other pregnancy symptom.
8. Increased sensitivity to odors. This early pregnancy symptom may be due to increased estrogen levels, but no one knows for sure.
9.
Basal body temperature
stays high. If you're charting your basal body temperature, one of the very early pregnancy signs is a higher-than-normal temperature for that time of the month.
10. Positive pregnancy test. Most pregnancy tests will not detect early pregnancy until your period is missed. If other pregnancy symptoms are present and you still don't have your period, test again in a few days.
Here are some great inexpensive, high-quality pregnancy tests.
