Discover the Early Warning Signs of Being Pregnant

The usual indication of pregnancy that women look for, the missed or late period, may vary from woman to woman. Within the first week of being impregnated, some women will notice early pregnancy symptoms. Not all women will experience early warning signs of pregnancy for a few weeks and maybe not even then.  Always contact your doctor when having any signs of pregnancy or tubal pregnancy symptoms.

After conception, in about 6-12 days the embryo imbeds itself into the uterine wall. The imbedding process will make some women have some spotting and maybe a little cramping. A menstrual period that is late or missed is the most common sign that the woman who has been sexually active should get a pregnancy test. It is normal to miss the next period after becoming pregnant. There are a few women do still continue to have menstrual periods but they will be very light and for a very short time.

Another symptom of pregnancy is somewhere between one and two weeks after conception the breasts will become tender and swollen. The skin around the nipple will become a darker shade. The first week the woman will begin to feel more tired than usual. Again you should always call your doctor or health care provider when you suspect first trimester pregnancy.

Morning sickness is probably one of the most common symptoms and may continue during the whole pregnancy. Some women never have this symptom but it normally lasts anywhere between two to eight weeks. Yet another early sign is pain in the lower back area that will probably continue as a dull ache. The hormones will be changing in the early stages that may cause head ache pain.

  Having to make several trips to the bathroom to urinate is yet another sign of early pregnancy that will begin about six weeks into the pregnancy. Food cravings begin to emerge signaling pregnancy. They may not be the desire to eat ice cream and pickles but still certain foods become a craving throughout most of the pregnancy in most women. To ensure the safety of yourself and possibly that of your baby it is best to use a home pregnancy test and then follow it up with a visit to your health care professional.
