Hi honey. I can tell you the usual signs that a woman is pregnant but remember that not all women will have all the signs and some women will have signs that I probably did not think of.
First and foremost is the fact that a woman will not have her period. It is possible to have some light, irregular bleeding but this is not a true period and usually a woman knows that she is not having her period.
One of the other first early signs is the fact that a woman has to urinate all the time, especially getting up at night to use the bathroom.
A woman will usually notice that her breasts are tender and feel heavier. Her nipples will be much more sensitive and uncomfortable if touched.
Unusual fatigue is another tell-tale symptom. Most women will fall asleep at the drop of a hat and will find that fatigue is actually interferring with everyday activities.
Nausea comes a bit later and by todays standards, with women finding out sooner and sooner that they are pregnant, nausea is not really considered an early symtom.
There are more symptoms that only an exam can show, a softer cervix, a change in the color of the cervix.
All of these are early symptoms of pregnancy and there may be some that I have neglected. Pregnancy tests are getting better all the time and can detect pregnancy sooner and sooner. There is even a blood test that is accurate before the period has been missed.
I hope that gives you enough information and remember, your doctor is the best source of information for you. Do not be afraid to ask questions. That is what she is there for. I hope this has been helpful.
Blessings

There are many signs of pregnancy and the bad thing is that they can get confused with starting your period. The number one thing would be missed period of course. Most women just know when they are pregnant . I am pregnant w/my fifth child and I knew every time. My first symptom was moodiness. I was very crabby and very emotional. I have irregular menstrual cycles so I couldn't go based on that. The next symptom that I got was headaches and I would start to feel some light cramping and would say to myself that my period should be coming in the next few days because I felt what I thought was menstrual cramps but then a week went by and still no period and still felt crampy. You can get sore breasts but usually they get pretty sore after you already know that your pregnant. I also broke out pretty bad and usually never break out before a period. I would get a pimple here or there but not a lot at once. If your having symptoms that your getting your period and it doesn't come and your one day late then go and get yourself tested so that your not wondering anymore and you could be sure. Good luck and I hope that you get the answer that you want.

being very tired, tender breast, sore & swollen breast, nausea with or without vomiting, increased apetite, cravings for certain foods, frequent urination, increased vaginal discharge, cramps, gas & bloating - those are some of the many symptoms of pregnancy. Some woman only go through some of these symptoms. Others go through more, and some may not notice any of these symptoms until later in their pregnancy. The most common indicator of a pregnancy is a missed period or a an period that is shorter and lighter than your normal one.

2) nausea and vomiting
3) frequent urge and need to urinate
4) abdominal bloating

Usually your breasts begin to swell, and you might also feel a little sick in the morning.
The easiest way to find out though if you’re pregnant or not, is by getting a blood test done by your gynecologist. You’ll get the results within maybe an hour.

1. Tender breasts/nipples: If you are pregnant you will notice that your breasts and nipples become tender around three weeks after conception (when your period is about one week late). They may also feel swollen -- similar to the way they feel when you expect your period.
2. Slight spotting or cramping: If you are pregnant, light pink spotting can occur at the time of implantation -- when the embryo attaches to the lining of the uterus. This happens around eight to ten days following ovulation, a bit earlier than your menstrual period is due. You can usually differentiate implantation bleeding from your menstrual period if it occurs a bit earlier than expected, if it is scanty, spotty, pinkish (and not red and heavy like a period), and does not follow the normal pattern of a period (light, progressing to heavy and then again to light). Cramping can also be common in early pregnancy. Until the uterus assumes its mid-position and becomes better supported by the bony pelvis in the second trimester, it is prone to menstrual-like cramping. Contractions of the uterus occur regularly, increasing with exercise, orgasm and even simple changes in position.
3. Darkening areolas: In very early pregnancy -- around the time of your expected period -- you may notice that your areola (the darker area that rings the nipple) begin to darken and increase in diameter. It is believed that the darker color of the areola helps the newborn to find the nipple for breastfeeding. You may also notice that the veins in your breasts become more visible and that Montgomery's tubercles, the tiny "bumps" that are scattered around the areola, enlarge and may increase in number, averaging between 4 and 28 per areola.
4. Extreme fatigue: If you are pregnant, a very common symptom in the first eight to ten weeks is exhaustion. When you are pregnant, your body is going through significant metabolic changes. Your entire body needs to adjust to the new process of growing a baby. For most women, the fatigue starts to go away by the 12th week of pregnancy.
5. Nausea and vomiting: If you are pregnant you may find quite early on -- as early as a week after conception -- that you are experiencing morning sickness. And you may also find that morning sickness is a misnomer. Nausea can occur anytime -- day or night.
6. Frequent urination: By the time your period is one to two weeks late you may find that you are peeing more frequently than usual. This is because the baby growing in your uterus is putting pressure on your bladder.
7. Constipation: You may notice a change in your bowels in early pregnancy. The extra hormones produced during pregnancy cause the intestines to relax and become less efficient.
8. Raised basal body temperature: You may very well be pregnant if your basal body temperature remains elevated even past the time your period is due and does not decline to preovulatory levels. When you conceive, the egg is fertilized in the fallopian tube, after which it takes about a week to travel to the uterus, where it will implant. It is at this time that your body is finally able to detect that you are pregnant. When hCG is released, women often experience a third temperature rise, not as dramatic as the first, but can usually be seen anywhere from about a week to 12 days after the first temperature rise at ovulation.
9. Missed period: This may be your first sign of pregnancy, especially if you're normally quite regular. Combined with other positive signs you may be sure you're pregnant, even before the test stick turns blue.
10. A positive pregnancy test: If your period is at least a day late, and you're ready to know the truth, you may want to take a home pregnancy test. A urine pregnancy test can be accurate as early as 10 to 14 days after fertilization. If you can't wait until a missed period, a blood pregnancy test can be accurate as early as 8 to 10 days after fertilization. Keep in mind that pregnancy tests are not 100 percent foolproof -- not even blood tests. If you have a negative result and still feel pregnant, be sure to retest a week later -- and check in with your care provider.

fatigue, swollen and tender breasts, nausea, no period, cravings or food aversion, frequent urination, headaches, constipation. In the beginning you might get cramps and feel just like you're getting your period.

Nausea, having to pee a lot, sore breasts.
Most obvious one would of course be missing a period.
