I am home pregnant, and have nothing to do, so i though i make myself useful  so I just wanted to sum up few early pregnansy signs. Of course some women might experince only few of them, but some might more. However, here is a list and short description of early pregnansy signs:
-Spotting. This is not like period spotting, but very light spotting. Usually it occurs before your period should begin. It really differs from period. For example, period begins light, becomes heavier in the nect 2 or 3 days, and then taper off before ending (another 2 or 3 days). Pregnansy bleeding is nothing like that: period is bloody red, while pregnansy spotting is brownish or in some cases light red or pink. And most of all, is very light- barely noticeable (i didn't even notice it, when i was wearing black panties- thus wear white ones).
-frequent urination. It has nothing to do with how much liquid you drink. I felt like need to pee, and when i went, just a few drops came out. And after half hour same story. This frequent urination freaked me out. Frequent urination is caused by hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and many women experience it even before missing period.
-missing period. Obvious. Well, not everyone. A friend told me, that her mother had period for first 3 months while she was pregnant and didn't even know she was pregnat. Imagine this! I missed mine... On the other hand, missing period might also be a sigh of some disorder (in collage i dropped about 20 pounds in few months, and i lost my period for about 3 months)- i asume it was related with weight loss and stress, but later i read it could also be caused by reaction to certain medications (not in my case) or even food!
-elevated body temperature is also one of early pregnansy signs. I didn't have that symptom, but know few women who did. Although i had a bit higher temp few times before expecting period.
-some women feel tired. Not me. I was to explode with energy Nevertheless, tired or not, this is caused by hormone changes in the body.
-morning sickness. Oh, hello, hello. Welcome to the club, that is all i have to say. If my hubby wanted to drink coffee, that was my trigger for the toilet. Awful! All perfumes, all sorts of smells, bananas, fish- omg! Horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!! i would rather feel tired and cramping all the time than running to the toil. Besides i don't know why they call it morning?? i had it day and night, morning and evening. It stopped after 7 weeks. Huh! Some women have to deal with sickness in fifth month?!
-constipation: some women feel constipated. This problem wasn't very expressed in my case. Sometimes I felt constipated before i was pregnant, so whenever this happended i treid to eat leafy vegetables or an apple one or two hour before bed time, and the morning... i don't have to go in details, right? 
-tender breasts and darker areolas: yup. The same feeling as when expecting period. Breats are hard, swollen, bit bigger. I rarely wore bras, but when i was expecting period, and sure in first two months I had to. I would have to support them with my hands otherwise After 2 months it got better, they were not so hard, but got bigger and areolas got darker and bumps on them even more prominent.
Ok, that's it. If someone has anything else to add to the list of early pregnansy signs, please do!
See ya! |
