Early Pregnancy Signs: What to Look For Before a Missed Period

Some possible signs of early pregnancy include:

- Breast tenderness: Your breasts may become swollen, tender, or tingly.

- Nausea and vomiting: Also known as morning sickness, this is a common symptom of early pregnancy.

- Fatigue: You may feel very tired or exhausted.

- Frequent urination: You may need to urinate more often.

- Light spotting or bleeding: This is sometimes called implantation bleeding and can occur when the fertilized egg implants in the lining of the uterus.

- Mood swings: You may experience mood swings or irritability.

- Food aversions or cravings: You may develop aversions to certain foods or have strong cravings for others.

- Headaches or backaches: You may experience headaches or backaches.

- Constipation: You may experience constipation.

It is important to note that these symptoms are not always a sign of pregnancy, as some of them can be caused by other factors, such as premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or other medical conditions. However, if you experience several of these symptoms, you should take a pregnancy test to confirm whether or not you are pregnant.
