Signs of Pregnancy
July 4, 2008
Signs of pregnancy # 1. Food cravings. Yes, it’s a cliché, but food cravings sometimes can be a sign of pregnancy. Don’t rely on them as a sure symptom, but if cravings are accompanied by some of the other symptoms on this list, start counting the days from your last period.
Signs of pregnancy # 2. Darkening of your areolas. If the skin around your nipples gets darker, you may have productively conceived, though this may also signal a hormonal imbalance unrelated to pregnancy or be a leftover effect from a preceding pregnancy.
Signs of pregnancy # 3. Implantation bleeding or cramping. About 8 days after ovulation, you may experience implantation spotting, a slight staining of a pink or brown color, as well as some cramping. You might also see some spotting around the time you anticipate your period; this is caused by the egg burrowing into the endometrial lining.
Signs of pregnancy # 4. Frequent urination. Once the embryo implants and begins producing the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), you may find yourself going to the bathroom more often.
Signs of pregnancy # 5. Fatigue. Feeling tired? No, make that exhausted. High levels of the hormone progesterone can make you feel as if you’ve run a marathon when all you’ve done is put in a day at the office. Fatigue is a hallmark of early pregnancy, though probably not a surefire symptom on its own.
6. Tender, swollen breasts. If you’re pregnant, your breasts will probably become increasingly tender to the touch, similar to the way they feel before your period, only more so. Once your body grows accustomed to the hormone surge, the pain will subside.
7. Altered sense of taste. You may become aware of that your sense of taste changes. Some women say they have a metallic taste in their mouth, others that they cannot stand the taste of coffee, tea, or a food they usually like.
8. Morning sickness. If you’re lucky, morning sickness won’t hit you until a few weeks after conception. (A lucky few escape it altogether.) But as early as a couple of days following conception, you may begin feeling nauseated and queasy. And not just in the dawn, either — pregnancy-related nausea can be a problem morning, noon, or night.
9. A missed period. If you’re typically pretty regular and your period is late, it’s worth trying a pregnancy test. A missed period is the surest sign of pregnancy in a woman of childbearing age who typically has regular periods.
10. A positive home pregnancy test. If you’ve waited to test until at least the first day of a missed period and a blue line appears in the test window, you’re most likely to be in the family way. Make a meeting with your doctor to verify the good news, and head on over to our pregnancy area. Congratulations!
