Early Pregnancy Symptoms: What to Expect (Missed Period, Breast Changes & More)

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.
