Signs of Pregnancy

Being pregnant with a baby is an unusual feeling which is hard to explain, but once you discover you are expecting, your life is going to change.

Here are some of the signs that indicate that you are going to have a baby:

• Nausea and Vomiting

When you have morning sickness, it's a common sign of Pregnancy. Many women feel nauseous and sick in the first trimester. Nausea and vomiting are also called morning sickness. It is not necessary that it happens only in the morning; it can occur at any time during the day. If you get nausea without vomiting, then you should also visit your doctor. Sometimes nausea may be due to severe acidity or stomach upset. But if you vomit along with nausea, then it could be an early sign of pregnancy. The exact cause of nausea is unknown, but changes in hormones can be blamed for this condition. The hormonal changes start as soon as the egg gets implanted in your uterus. So, this happens just after conception. Some experts think that nausea can happen due to the increase in hCG hormone levels in your body when you get pregnant.

• Breast Changes

In the early weeks of pregnancy, many women experience some tenderness.

• Pregnancy Test

One easy way to tell if you’re pregnant is by taking a pregnancy test. The test detects the hormone hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotropin) in your urine. This hormone is produced by the cells of the embryo that will later form the placenta after implantation, and is the key to sustaining pregnancy.
Most tests are accurate when taken seven days after ovulation, or on the first day of a missed period, so try to hold off until then before taking a test! If you do take it before that, be sure to use your first morning urine when testing, as this contains the highest level of hCG.

Also, if you’re not sure if you’re showing signs of pregnancy, don’t worry! Most women aren’t aware that they are pregnant until at least four to six weeks, or about two weeks after their missed period. What some may believe to be PMS signs, can sometimes be symptoms of early pregnancy!

If you think you may be pregnant and want to know for sure—or just want more information—reach out to your health-care provider or local Planned Parenthood Health Center

• Frequent Urination

If you find yourself having to go to the bathroom more than usual, then this may be an indicator of pregnancy but could also just mean that you are dehydrated so drink plenty of water and do a pregnancy test!

• Change in Skin Color

Your skin will change color—it may become more white or more black.

• Increase in Salivation

Your mouth may produce more saliva than normal, which can make it difficult to eat.

• Unusual Cravings

You may experience cravings for food that would normally disgust you, such as celery or pickles. You also may crave food that isn't really food, such as ice cubes or clay from the ground.

• Changes in sexual desire

You may experience a decrease or increase in sexual desire.
