what are the symptoms of pregnancy??

Question

my girlfriend says she isnt but i think shes just not telling me so how can i tell??

Answer 1

You can't, the signs of early pregnancy are sore breasts, missed period, (you won't know this one unless you moniter her cycles and some women can "fake" PMS) other than that, the only way you can tell is if she tells you, or if she starts "showing" (which happens around month 4)

Answer 2

There are no TRUE symptoms. Every woman is different.

Some common ones though are:

morning sickness--she wakes up and shortly after she vomits
(some women have this "morning sickness" all day long-they constantly feel nauseated)

missed period

very emotional--things that normally wouldn't bother her, bother her a lot now...because of the hormone fluctuations during pregnancy.

eating habits--she may eat a lot more than she used to, or she may be hungry more frequently, ---or--- some women lose their appetites. It depends on the woman, her body, & how it responds to the pregnancy.

These are just a few. The only TRUE way you will know for sure is to make an appointment for her, take her to the doc, and have a pregnancy test done. Even some home tests are not COMPLETELY accurate. And she may lie to you about it (depending on your situation).

Whatever the result, I'm glad to see a man who is eager to know about this subject & cares for his lady. If she is, CONGRATULATIONS! If not, keep tryin'! Best wishes, Toni

Answer 3

extreme fatigue

breast tenderness

nausea, with or without vomiting

constipation, gas, and/or bloating

abdominal cramps

frequent urination

food cravings or aversion

mood swing

increased vaginal discharge

Some pregnant women experience one or two of these symptoms. Some have many of them. And some have no symptoms at all. Symptoms may even be different from one pregnancy to another in the same woman. The presence or absence of such symptoms is no indication of the health of a pregnancy

Answer 4

Pregnancy symptoms differ from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy; however, one of the most significant pregnancy symptoms is a delayed or missed menstrual cycle. Understanding pregnancy symptoms is important because each symptom may be related to something other than pregnancy. Some women experience pregnancy symptoms within a week of conception. For other women, symptoms may develop over a few weeks or may not be present at all. Below is a listing of some of the most common pregnancy symptoms.

Implantation Bleeding:
Implantation bleeding can be one of the earliest pregnancy symptoms. About 6-12 days after conception, the embryo implants itself into the uterine wall. Some women will experience spotting as well as some cramping.

Other Explanations: Actual menstruation, altered menstruation, changes in birth control pill, infection, or abrasion from intercourse.

Delay/Difference in Menstruation:
A delayed or missed menstruation is the most common pregnancy symptom leading a woman to test for pregnancy. When you become pregnant, your next period should be missed. Many women can bleed while they are pregnant, but typically the bleeding will be shorter or lighter than a normal period. This symptom is commonly explained by other reasons. If you have been sexually active and have missed a period, it is recommended that you take a test: Order my pregnancy test

Other Explanations: Excessive weight gain/loss, fatigue, hormonal problems, tension, stress, ceasing to take the birth control pill, or breast-feeding.

Swollen/Tender Breasts:
Swollen or tender breasts is a pregnancy symptom which may begin as early as 1-2 weeks after conception. Women may notice changes in their breasts; they may be tender to the touch, sore, or swollen.

Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance, birth control pills, impending menstruation (PMS) can also cause your breasts to be swollen or tender.

Fatigue/Tiredness:
Feeling fatigued or more tired is a pregnancy symptom which can also start as early as the first week after conception.

Other Explanations: Stress, exhaustion, depression, common cold or flu, or other illnesses can also leave you feeling tired or fatigued.

Nausea/Morning Sickness:
This well-known pregnancy symptom will often show up between 2-8 weeks after conception. Some women are fortunate to not deal with morning sickness at all, while others will feel nauseous throughout most of their pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Food poisoning, stress, or other stomach disorders can also cause you to feel queasy.

Backaches:
Lower backaches may be a symptom that occurs early in pregnancy; however, it is common to experience a dull backache throughout an entire pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Impending menstruation, stress, other back problems, and physical or mental strains.

Headaches:
The sudden rise of hormones in your body can cause you to have headaches early in pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Dehydration, caffeine withdrawal, impending menstruation, eye strain, or other ailments can be the source of frequent or chronic headaches.

Frequent Urination:
Around 6-8 weeks after conception, you may find yourself making a few extra trips to the bathroom.

Other Explanations: Urinary tract infection, diabetes, increasing liquid intake, or taking excessive diuretics.

Darkening of Areolas:
If you are pregnant, the skin around your nipples may get darker.

Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance unrelated to pregnancy or may be a leftover effect from a previous pregnancy.

Food Cravings:
While you may not have a strong desire to eat pickles and ice cream, many women will feel cravings for certain foods when they are pregnant. This can last throughout your entire pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Poor diet, lack of a certain nutrient, stress, depression, or impending menstruation.

Answer 5

There is not way for you to tell. The symotoms of pregnancy are similar to PMS. She may say her breats hurt alot, whitch is a sign of pregnancy, but she may have worn her bra to tight, or you played to rough... just ask her out right to take a test and see... you can usually take a test 3-4 weeks after the suspected date of conception, or 4-6 weeks after her last period. Good luck, and be happy no matter what.

Answer 6

Basically a positive pregnancy test is the first sign since all of the other signs can be symptoms of other things as well as pregnancy.

Answer 7

If your girlfriend doesn't feel like telling you I think you should leave her alone. Maybe she is just not ready as she may not be have confirmed that she is in fact pregnant. First syntoms are two missed periods. No two persons have the same syntoms except for missed periods and then some may still be bleeding and are in fact pregnant. Leave your girlfriend, she will let you know when she is ready.

it's hard to tell...with every woman it's diff. But for me the sickness started when I was 6 weeks, and breast tenderness like crazy! Also she may be dizzy from time to time. Cravings don't start until later on though.
