Symptoms of Pregnancy
July 7, 2008
Symptoms of pregnancy # 1 – Tender, swollen breasts
one of the early signs of pregnancy is sensitive, sore breasts caused by increasing levels of hormones. The soreness may feel like an exaggerated version of how your breasts feel before your period.
Your discomfort should reduce considerably after the first trimester, as your body adjusts to the hormonal changes.
Symptoms of pregnancy # 2 – Fatigue
Feeling tired all of a sudden? No, make that exhausted. No one knows for sure what causes early pregnancy fatigue, but it’s possible that rapidly increasing levels of the hormone progesterone are contributing to your sleepiness.
You should start to feel more energetic once you hit your second trimester, although fatigue usually returns late in pregnancy when you’re carrying around a lot more weight and some of the common discomforts of pregnancy make it more difficult to get a good night’s sleep.
Symptoms of pregnancy # 3 – Implantation bleeding
Some women have a small amount of vaginal bleeding around 11 or 12 days after conception (close to the time you might notice a missed period). The bleeding may be caused by the fertilized egg burrowing into the blood-rich lining of your uterus — a process that starts just 6 days after fertilization — but no one knows for sure.
The bleeding is very light (appearing as red spotting or pink or reddish-brown staining) and lasts only a day or two. (Let your practitioner know if you notice any bleeding or spotting, particularly if it’s accompanied by pain, since this can be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy.)
Symptoms of pregnancy # 4 – Nausea or vomiting
If you’re like most women, morning sickness won’t hit untill about a month after conception. (A lucky few escape it altogether.) But some women do start to feel queasy a bit earlier. And not just in the morning, either — pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting can be a complexity morning, noon, or night.
About half of women with nausea feel total relief by the beginning of the second trimester. For most others it takes another month or so for the queasiness to ease up.
Symptoms of pregnancy # 5 – Increased sensitivity to odors
If you’re newly pregnant, it’s not uncommon to feel repelled by the smell of a bologna sandwich or cup of coffee and for certain aromas to trigger your gag reflex. Though no one knows for sure, this may be a side effect of rapidly increasing amounts of estrogen in your system. You may also find that certain foods you used to enjoy are abruptly totally repulsive to you.
