The following are the most common pregnancy symptoms in the first trimester:
A missed menstrual period is most often the first sign of pregnancy, although a woman may still experience some bleeding or spotting around the time of the expected period. However, if a woman does not have regular menstrual cycles, she may notice some of the other symptoms of early pregnancy before it is apparent that the menstrual period has been missed.
Feelings of breast swelling, tenderness, or pain are also commonly associated with early pregnancy. These symptoms are sometimes similar to the sensations in the breasts in the days before an expected menstrual period.
Nausea and vomiting are also common in early pregnancy. Traditionally referred to as "morning sickness," the nausea and vomiting associated with early pregnancy can occur at any time of the day or night. Most women who have morning sickness develop nausea and vomiting about one month after conception, but it may develop sooner in some women.
Fatigue and tiredness are symptoms experienced by many women in the early stages of pregnancy. The cause of this fatigue has not been fully determined, but it may be related to changes in hormone levels.
Some women may experience feelings of abdominal enlargement or bloating, but there is usually only a small amount of weight gain in the first trimester or pregnancy. In this early stage of pregnancy a weight gain of about one pound per month is typical.
A woman in the early stages of pregnancy may feel she has to urinate frequently, especially at nighttime, and she may leak urine with a cough, sneeze, or laugh. This is due to the growing uterus pressing upon the bladder.
A persistently elevated basal body temperature (as occurs after ovulation) is another characteristic sign of early pregnancy.
Women may notice a deepening of the color of the area surrounding the nipple, called the areola and/or a dark line going down from the middle of the central abdomen area to the pubic area.
Some women may develop a so-called "mask of pregnancy" in the first trimester, referring to a darkening of the skin on the forehead, bridge of the nose, or cheekbones. Doctors refer to this condition as melasma or chloasma, and it is more common in darker-skinned women than those with lighter skin. Melasma can also occur in some conditions other than pregnancy.
Finally, mood swings and stress are common symptoms reported by many women in the early stages of pregnancy.

Oh Trojan, there are various warning pregnancy signs. Headache could be one of them, because maybe one lucks haemoglobin in the body as a result of sharing food with the baby.Some people have signs and some don't. Some women can have menstrual periods whilst pregnant with no warning signs at all. i would recommend you see your physician for that matter or buy a pregnancy test from the nearest chemist just to be certain. All the best

First thing is that you ll miss your cycle.
Thats the biggest sign.
If u have been pregnant for long, you may frequently feel like vomiting, have cravings for certain food stuff, get irritated with trivial stuff etc.
And then of cose you ll have that tummy bulging:)

In simple terms,

You could have only one symptom, or all, but missed period it the most evident. If you think you are, take a test!

you might feel nauseous, dizzy, or with a great need to pee. missing your period might not be the only one, my recommendation, take a blood test is the very most accurate test in a very soon situation.
