Do You Have Early Symptoms Of Pregnancy?
Do you think you may be pregnant? Have you begun to feel early pregnancy symptoms? Do you know what to look for? If not, this article may be a guide for someone who is anticipating becoming pregnant. I must tell you ahead of time that not all people are alike; you may experience all of these symptoms or none at all.
Early Pregnancy Symptoms
One of the most obvious signs you may be pregnant is your missed period. When you become pregnant you no longer ovulate, which stops your uterus from shedding. Shedding of your uterus causes your menstrual cycle. You may still experience light bleeding or spotting, though. If you have been trying to get pregnant and have been taking your basal temperature, you will notice your temperature is higher than normal, just not when you were ovulating. You may notice your breast have begun to swell. You may even experience pain or tenderness in your breast, like when you are getting ready to start your period. You may see darkening in color around the area surrounding your nipple (areola). You may also see a dark line going down the central part of your stomach stretching from the belly button down to your pubic area. Another symptom of early pregnancy you may be experiencing is morning sickness. Morning sickness consists of vomiting or nausea. Morning sickness can occur anytime of the day even though it has morning in the name. Morning sickness usually happens after a month of becoming pregnant, but could happen sooner depending on the individual. You may feel tired and fatigue as one of the early pregnancy symptoms because of the changes of your hormone levels. You may also find that you feel bloated or feel that your stomach has become enlarged, even though you really haven’t gained much weight. A pregnant person may also experience frequent urination. She may find that when she laughs, sneezes, or coughs she may leak a small amount of urine, because of the uterus growing and pressing upon her bladder. Another one of the early symptoms of pregnancy is a metallic taste left in you mouth after smoking, if you are a smoker. You will also have many mood swings and feel stressed, which are common early pregnancy symptoms. Finally, some women will develop darkening of their skin on their face, like around their cheek, forehead, or the bridge of their nose. This is called the mask of pregnancy or the medical term known as melasma.
Are You Pregnant?
Again, you may experience all, one or two, or none of the symptoms above. The important thing is to be able to recognize them in the event you could be pregnant or have been looking for signs of pregnancy.
