Early Signs of Pregnancy

Every pregnancy is different and while some women may experience some of the early signs of pregnancy, others may not notice any symptoms at all. Some of the early signs of pregnancy may be noticed from within a few days of conception, but there may be no symptoms at all until you have missed your first menstrual cycle.

Some of the early signs of pregnancy to look for include,

Nausea: This can occur within a few days of conception when the fertilized egg is implanting in the uterine wall. Morning sickness often begins around 8 – 12 weeks, but can occur earlier.

Tender Breasts: This is also an early sign of pregnancy, and may begin even before you have missed you monthly cycle.

Fatigue: As a result of the changing hormones you may become easily fatigue, which is an early sign of pregnancy. In fact, in some women this can be severe enough that at some points you won’t be able to keep your eyes open.

Frequent Urination: This early sign of pregnancy can begin anytime after conception but usually after about 8 – 12 weeks.

These are some of the early signs of pregnancy; if you suspect that you are pregnant you should see your healthcare provider to confirm your suspicions and begin receiving prenatal care.
