what are early signs of being pregnant?

Answer 1

Hi there:

Breast tenderness
Fatigue/sleepiness
weight gain
water retention
aversion to smells
nausea
Nasal congestion
increased appetite
moodiness

I hope this helps, the best thing to do is to take an early pregnancy test with your first morning's urine

Good luck, I hope you get the result you want.

The problem is, the symptoms that may occur before you miss your period are similar to the symptoms many women experience just before their period, making pregnancy detection before your missed period almost impossible! Symptoms do include swollen breasts, irritability, nausea, leg cramps, bloating, and tiredness. I can't stress enough though, there's no sense worrying about pregnancy until you miss that period! There are some tests on the market that claim to detect pregnancy as soon as 5 days before your period is due, however, the fine print tells you that the reliability goes down the further from your period you test. Hope that helps. Sorry if I seem like a know-it-all but I have spent the last 10 years (with the exception of my 4 pregnancies) trying to conceive and I can't tell you how many months I was "sure" I was pregnant only to be dissapointed with my period!

A big sign is missing your period. Other possible causes of missing your period are travel, fatigue, stress, illness, extreme weight gain or loss, going off the pill and breastfeeding.

Morning sickness is also another biggie. It usually occurs 2-8 weeks after conception. I started feeling slight waves of nausea around the time my period was due, obvioously it didn't arrive because I'm 18 weeks pregnant! Other possible causes of nausea are food poisioning, emotional stress and a variety of illnesses.

Frequent urination is another sign some women have. It usually rears its ugly head as early as 2-3 weeks after conception. Other possible causes are urinary tract infection, stress or diabetes.

Tingling, tender and swollen breasts is a very common pregnancy symptom. It can occur as early as a few days after conception, I know that was the case for my two pregnancies! Other possible causes are birth control pills and impending menstruation.

Another sign is darkening of the aerola (area around the nipple) and elevation of the tiny glands around the nipple. This usually happens later in the first trimester, although I noticed it around the same time I got a positive pregnancy test, when my period was due. Other possible causes of this are hormonal imbalances or the effect of a prior pregnancy.

A big sign for me was blue and pink lines under skin and later on abdomen. For me, I found that my breasts were the first to look like a road map with blue veins, about 5 days after conception. After that my thighs, hands and feet started to show veins as well. Later on, purple veins appeared under my armpits, on my eyelids and on my cheeks - I have very light skin. This usually occurs later on in the first trimester. Other possible causes are hormone imbalance or the effect of a prior pregnancy.

Food cravings can drive pregnant women insane! They usually appear in the first trimester. Other possible causes include poor diet, stress and impending menstruation.

A big sign for me, was tiredness. I used to almost be an insomniac, and about a week and a half after conception, I struggled to keep my eyes open past 8.00pm.

I also started to have 'grumpy pregnant lady' mood swings!

Answer 4

My first symptom, with all of my 5 pregnancies (3 miscarried) was extreme grouchiness. I'd be a total grouch, way grouchier than usual, and wonder what the heck was wrong with everyone. Now I know that it's a cue to do a test.

I have cried 4 times in the last week as well

My mother said she gets a weird taste in her mouth. Morning sickness, tender breast, and weird cravings. But see a doctor they can help with the test.

Answer 8

in my case it was sore breast. they simply HURT!!! achey and fuller ( but not really bigger) i had cramps like i was starting my period and just felt tired. i was on vacation when my ''signs'' hit me. i was having a couple drinks here and there too, i thought i was gonna start my period.
all that, weight gain, water retention, darking nipples and cravings stuff will come later! i think first, you will notice your breasts hurting! GOOD LUCK!
