The first signs of being pregnant do not necessarily depend on having missed a period though this is by far the most common first sign of being pregnant. The majority of women will notice a missed period before any other pregnancy symptoms.
Most women will generally experience at least one early indicator that they are pregnant but it can be difficult to recognise the very first signs of being pregnant as they can be similar to menstruation or even stress. Trying to conceive a baby is one instance that will have you on high alert to the changes in your body and looking out for the first signs of pregnancy.
Therefore, it is very important to learn the early signs of pregnancy. Discussed here are the common symptoms felt by a woman in the first three months. If a woman is having one or more of these symptoms in recurrence, she might likely be pregnant and must consult a doctor immediately for proper guidance on how to go about the pregnancy.
Figuring out when you are likely to conceive will be easy once you begin using the Basal thermometer. Your menstrual cycle can vary from 21 to 35 days so before you can accurately know when you able to get pregnant, you need to determine the length of your cycle and when you are ovulating.
Begin taking your temperature a few months (if possible) before you plan to get pregnant. Always take your temperature first thing in the morning before you are even out of bed. Your temperature will rise slightly when you are ovulating, which usually occurs around the 14th day after the first day of your menstrual period.
Food cravings: Sure it’s a cliche, but food cravings sometimes can be a sign of pregnancy. Don’t rely on them as a sure symptom (it may be all in your head, or even a sign that your body is low on a particular nutrient), but if cravings are accompanied by some of the other symptoms on this list, start counting the days from your last period.
Darkening of your aureoles: If the skin around your nipples gets darker, you may have successfully conceived, though this may also signal a hormonal imbalance unrelated to pregnancy or be a leftover effect from a previous pregnancy.
Implantation bleeding or cramping: About eight days after ovulation, you may experience implantation spotting, a slight staining of a pink or brown color, as well as some cramping. You might also see some spotting around the time you expect your period; this is caused by the egg burrowing into the endometrial lining.
Frequent Urination: Another earliest sign of pregnancy is frequent urination. You might feel that you have to sit closer to bathroom or the bladder is unable to hold urine for more than one hour.
Backache And Headache: Pregnant women also have to experience frequent aches like headache and backache. Backaches are common throughout the pregnancy because of the increasing size of belly. Headaches are also the result of changes in hormonal level.
A reduction in concentration is also a very early sign of pregnancy. You may notice that you forget things quite easily or that you get bored quite easily. Sometimes this reduced concentration comes from knowing that there is something going on with your body and your emotions. You just haven’s figured out that the cause is that you are pregnant.
