Early Signs of Pregnancy


Every woman has different pregnancy symptoms and some may be stronger than others. However, there are many pregnancy symptoms that are so common they are universal. The first symptom almost every woman will experience is a missed period. Although, lots of women mistake implantation bleeding for their actual period. This usually occurs anywhere from 6 to 12 days after conception. There may be cramping and spotting during implantation.

Other common symptoms include swollen breasts that are tender and sore. This may occur as early as a week after conception. Another symptom that may occur this early is exhaustion. It’s not uncommon for women to feel extremely tired despite being well rested. Some women may find themselves falling asleep wherever they are despite trying to stay awake. This usually eases off after the first trimester, however, but not always.

Morning sickness and nausea are also quite common and most women experience some amount of this so it should be expected. Generally, morning sickness is strongest during the first trimester and then begins to ease off. However, there are women who will feel nauseas their entire pregnancy while other women may not experience any nausea at all.

A strong sense of smell and/or aversion to certain foods and/or smells is also quite common with pregnant women. This will also usually subside as the pregnancy progresses, but that’s not always the case either.

The good news is that women experiencing these symptoms don’t have to guess if they are pregnant or not. They can simply take a home pregnancy test and know very quickly!
