What are early pregnancy symptoms?
Missed period: This is often the first and most obvious sign of pregnancy. If you're pregnant, you'll miss your period.
Breast changes: Your breasts may become tender, swollen, or tingly. You may also notice that your nipples are darker or more erect.
Nausea (morning sickness): Morning sickness is a common symptom of pregnancy. It usually begins around 6 weeks of pregnancy and peaks at 8-12 weeks. Morning sickness can range from mild nausea to severe vomiting.
Fatigue: You may feel tired or fatigued during early pregnancy. This is due to the increased levels of the hormone progesterone in your body.
Frequent urination: You may need to pee more often than usual during early pregnancy. This is because the growing uterus puts pressure on your bladder.
Other symptoms: Other symptoms of early pregnancy can include:
* Constipation
* Bloating
* Gas
* Headaches
* Back pain
* Mood swings
* Food cravings
* Food aversions
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it's important to see your doctor to confirm your pregnancy.
