There are many early signs of pregnancy, which can help in knowing the right time for doing the pregnancy testing. These pregnancy signs help in knowing about early pregnancy.
2. Early Signs Of Pregnancy
Being pregnant is probably one of
the best feelings that a woman feels
in her entire lifetime, no other
emotion can come even close to
the feeling of being pregnant. Most
women think that the first sign of
being pregnant is when she misses
her periods. But the truth is that
even before you miss your periods,
there are a few other early signs of
pregnancy.
Some of these common early
signs of pregnancy have been
discussed below:

3. Tender Breasts
Amongst the various different early
signs of pregnancy, one of the
first indications which your body
gives when you are pregnant is that
your breasts become achy and
tender. This happens due to the rise
in the level of the hormone
progesterone, which makes your
nipples darker, bigger and tender.

Fatigue
Another early pregnancy sign is a
sudden fall in your energy levels.
During the first trimester of
pregnancy, women feel tired all the
time. This improves in the second
trimester, but if you find yourself
suddenly taking naps in the middle
of the day, something you have
never done before, this increased
fatigue may be due to pregnancy.

5. Mood Swings
If you have been experiencing
sudden changes in your mood,
small things make you really happy
and even smaller things make you
feel like crying, this could be
because of the hormonal changes
happening in your body due to
pregnancy and therefore, it would
be a good idea to go in
for pregnancy testing at this stage.

6. Light Headed
Many women experience light-
headedness during the early stages
of pregnancy. These women feel
dizzy all the time and sometimes
they may even end up fainting. The
reason behind this could be either
hormonal changes or fluctuations in
the levels of blood pressure in the
body. However, if you have been
feeling giddy for some time now,
you must immediately take a
pregnancy immediately.

7. Nausea And Vomiting
It is true that full blown nausea and
vomiting starts only after the
completion of 7 to 9 weeks of
pregnancy, but in some cases,
women can start feeling nauseated
even in the very early stages of
pregnancy as well. Therefore,
amongst the various
early pregnancy signs, vomiting
also finds a very important place for
itself.

8. Aversion to Certain Foods
You may be in love with a certain
food, but suddenly even the smell
of that food may start to make you
feel repulsed. This is one of the
very common early signs of
pregnancy. Forget eating these
specific foods, you would not be
able to stand in the room where the
food is being served because of its
smell. Many times this aversion is
for some of the healthiest foods and
therefore, during pregnancy these
women are forced to rely on multi-
vitamin tablets in order to fulfil their
nutritional needs. Page 8 of 10

9. Frequent Peeing
During pregnancy, the uterus
becomes bigger in size and
therefore, puts more pressure on
the bladder, thus forcing you to pee
often. The kidneys, too, have to
process more urine, thus increasing
the trips to the bathroom.
Spotting and Cramping
Cramping and mild spotting can
happen much before the due date
of your periods.
