Question

Answer 1

Hi Honey, here are some symptoms of pregnancy, check them and then see your doctor

Tender, swollen breasts
One of the early signs of pregnancy is sensitive, sore breasts caused by increasing levels of hormones. The soreness may feel like an exaggerated version of how your breasts feel before your period. Your discomfort should diminish significantly after the first trimester, as your body adjusts to the hormonal changes.

Fatigue
Feeling tired all of a sudden? No, make that exhausted. No one knows for sure what causes early pregnancy fatigue, but it's possible that rapidly increasing levels of the hormone progesterone are contributing to your sleepiness.

You should start to feel more energetic once you hit your second trimester, although fatigue usually returns late in pregnancy when you're carrying around a lot more weight and some of the common discomforts of pregnancy make it more difficult to get a good night's sleep

Nausea or vomiting
If you're like most women, morning sickness won't hit until about a month after conception. (A lucky few escape it altogether.) But some women do start to feel queasy a bit earlier. And not just in the morning, either — pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting can be a problem morning, noon, or night.

About half of women with nausea feel complete relief by the beginning of the second trimester. For most others it takes another month or so for the queasiness to ease up.

Increased sensitivity to odors
If you're newly pregnant, it's not uncommon to feel repelled by the smell of a bologna sandwich or cup of coffee and for certain aromas to trigger your gag reflex. Though no one knows for sure, this may be a side effect of rapidly increasing amounts of estrogen in your system. You may also find that certain foods you used to enjoy are suddenly completely repulsive to you.

Abdominal bloating
Hormonal changes in early pregnancy may leave you feeling bloated, similar to the feeling some women have just before their period arrives. That's why your clothes may feel snugger than usual at the waistline, even early on when your uterus is still quite small.

Frequent urination
Shortly after you become pregnant, you may find yourself hurrying to the bathroom all the time. Why? Mostly because during pregnancy the amount of blood and other fluids in your body increases, which leads to extra fluid being processed by your kidneys and ending up in your bladder.

This symptom may start as early as six weeks into your first trimester and continue or worsen as your pregnancy progresses and your growing baby exerts more pressure on your bladder.

A missed period
If you're usually pretty regular and your period doesn't arrive on time, you'll probably take a pregnancy test long before you notice any of the above symptoms. But if you're not regular or you're not keeping track of your cycle, nausea and breast tenderness and extra trips to the bathroom may signal pregnancy before you realize you didn't get your period.

Your basal body temperature stays high
If you've been charting your basal body temperature and you see that your temperature has stayed elevated for 18 days in a row, you're probably pregnant

Good luck.

I don't think it is a common symptom, but i know it is not unheard off, i am 6 weeks and 6 days pregnant and there are days where i will have diarrhoea and there are days where i have constipation.

I will say that when pregnant women will experience different symptoms, different height of it i.e (Major morning sickness and some women will have none)

If you think you are pregnant take a test it is the only accurate way of telling instead of looking for signs because your mind may be playing tricks with you and you may just be clutching at straws.

I hope this helps sweetie, and you mange to get the answers you are looking for.

Answer 3

It's not an actual symptom from pregnancy, but it can occur due to the hormone changes. I've heard that it mostly happens when you're in your 2nd or 3rd trimester, not in your first. So, I wouldn't say you're pregnant just because you're having diarrhea.

Answer 4

no its not diarhea could not be a symptom because that would mean that doctors would make more money or the the people that invented the pregnancy thing would get more money because as soon as you get diarrhea , you would maybe think your pregnant.

Answer 5

Perhaps! Hormones do strange things. I get a dodgy tummy at the beginning of my period. The best thing you can do is take a test and then you will know for sure. Either way I wish you the very best. Write back and let us know. Have a very happy New Year. xx
