Pregnancy Symptoms to Look Out For
Here are 7 common pregnancy symptoms and what to expect early on:
1. A missed period
If you missed your period, you could be pregnant. If you experience irregular periods, a missed period may not necessarily mean you’re pregnant. This is where pregnancy testing is important to confirm a potential pregnancy.
2. Fatigue
Do you feel tired all the time? Fatigue is a common sign of pregnancy, as the levels of the hormone progesterone rapidly rise during early pregnancy.
3. Tender, swollen breasts
Are your breasts tender and swollen, but you haven’t gotten your period? This pregnancy symptom may feel settled, but it’s a common sign of pregnancy. If you are indeed pregnant, this symptom can likely decrease after a few weeks as your body adjusts to hormonal changes.
4. Nausea with or without vomiting
Are you nauseous even to the point of vomiting? Also known as morning sickness, this could be a clear sign of pregnancy. The cause of nausea during pregnancy isn’t clear, but pregnancy hormones likely play a big role.
5. Increased urination
Going to the bathroom more than normal? Pregnancy can cause the amount of blood in your body to increase, which causes your kidneys to pump extra fluid, ending up in your bladder.
6. Moodiness
Feeling emotional most of the time lately? During pregnancy, women will experience an increase in hormones, resulting in emotional mood swings. It’s very normal.
7. Bloating
Lastly, bloating happens during early pregnancy due to hormonal changes. It may feel similar to your menstrual cycle.
