Pregnancy signs

If you’re like everyone else, anxious and extremely on the edge waiting for the million dollar question of whether or not you are going to be enlisted with that of the other pregnant women well then surely you will be in the hunt of the signs of pregnancy or pregnancy symptoms. There are a zillion ways that you may approach this particular piece of problem. You could ask other people who may have some knowledge about the proceedings of a pregnant woman or there is always the option of you worrying in stone cold silence, but I assure you that the best thing right now is to read through the categories and add up the signs on your own. The more signs that seem to apply to you the better and the more likely that you are on the highway to becoming a mother.

The first and foremost sign for pregnancy is the missing of your normal menstrual cycle. This is applicable only and only if your menstrual cycle is a normal one, if on the other hand if you normally have irregularity time periods between your menstrual period then the indication of pregnancy which is supposed to be the ‘missing’ period may come at a later stage and will not be the sign that will be noticed immediately. There are always exceptions present. Some women may just bleed a bit/ lightly through their first trimester. It is said that one in every six women experiences this type of a phenomenon.

If by any chance you have quite forgotten to keep track of your normal menstrual cycle or if the variation is very wide from one month to the next, then you may not be really sure when to expect your period then the need to take some home tests will be advised rather than to wait for some signs.

Some of the symptoms could be as stated under:

• fatigue or just a feeling of tiredness that seems to bring your energy level down
• nausea and/or vomiting (also known as the ever dreaded morning sickness)
• there will be changes in your body as well as the body prepares itself for the complicated and yet the most self satisfying procedure of creating life within oneself –breast will become sore, there will be some tingling feeling in the nipples, darkening of the areolas, etc…
