Pregnancy Symptoms — Early Signs of Pregnancy
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: Find a Free Testing Center or 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 2

Blood pressure going up is not a sign of pregnancy. BP usually goes down in the first half of pregnancy due to extra blood in the body.

Answer 3

sickness and/or feelings of nausea
a strange taste in your mouth, sometimes described as 'metallic'
breast tenderness, tingling and enlargement
the small 'bumps' on your nipples becoming more obvious - these are 'Montgomery's tubercules', which secrete an oily fluid in preparation for breastfeeding
stomach pains
tiredness
constipation
needing to wee more often
going off certain things, such as coffee and fatty foods
increased vaginal discharge....Not sure about the blood pressure though!

Answer 4

the often 1st sign of pregnacy is missed monlthy cycle, and the need to go wee often, also as you said sore brest and tiredness,
sickness too in first 3 mths, if you suspect you or some 1 you no could be pregnant then a home pregnacy test will tell you , then you need to go see a doctor to be booked in to a maternaty unit for your, pregnavy care.

Answer 5

The only way to know for sure is positive pregnancy test (or if you wait long enough giving birth) any other signs are vague and easily confused with other things like being premenstral. Until you have that positive result it's just guesswork.

Answer 6

Besides missing you monthly period..... Horrible taste in your mouth, going off certain foods and drink. With each pregnancy signs are different. Buy a test, why worry when you can buy a test, wee, wait a few minutes and then you will know.
Good luck xx

Answer 7

Never heard if high blood pressure is a sympton, although it can cause problems.

Your wee smells very sweet when you are pregnant! Something to do with more protein in it. Oh, and your ankles swell up sometimes, and light headiness when standing in queues.

Why do we do it?
