So You Think You’re Pregnant? A Brief Discussion Of Common Pregnancy
Symptoms
by: Charlene J. Nuble
A baby begins life even before he is born – from conception until the
uterus finally pushes him out of his mother’s body. This is the
phenomenon we call pregnancy. It starts when the male sperm unites with
the female egg and develops into an embryo. While several women say they
can already detect pregnancy from the moment of conception, some see the
pregnancy symptoms much later.
As the woman’s body prepares itself for child-bearing, she will notice
several changes. The telltale signs of pregnancy include the following:
Absence of menstruation
This is usually the first sign of pregnancy. Take note, though, that it
should not always be linked with pregnancy symptoms, as missing your
monthly period can also mean some other kind of hormonal imbalance or
condition.
2. Morning sickness
It would be prudent to note that the pregnancy symptom called “morning
sickness” does not happen only in the mornings. This feeling of dizziness
can happen at any time of the day. The hormonal changes occurring during
pregnancy generally trigger bouts of nausea and vomiting. Another related
symptom would be constant tiredness, which a possibly pregnant woman
experiences even if no physical activity had been performed (but, then,
again, it could also be due to improper nutrition).
Strong craving for certain foods
The cause of this pregnancy symptom is still undetermined. But pregnant
women have been infamous for requesting/demanding different kinds of
food, owing to uncontrollable appetite urges. On some cases, “strong
craving” is an understatement.
Mood swings and headaches
A woman’s emotions sometimes become slave to the hormonal changes linked
with pregnancy. Quite common are bouts of depression, vagueness,
listlessness and irritability.
Sleepiness
This symptom is not due to fatigue. Women who are pregnant usually long
for sleep early in the evening. Again, blame the hormones.
Frequent urination
As the womb expands to make room for the growing fetus, it bears down on
the urinary bladder, causing constant urges to pass urine. Some women
have also been observed to develop white, creamy vaginal discharge during
pregnancy, while the breasts tend to swell and grow tender (as the
mammary glands brace themselves for breastfeeding).
Not all signs of pregnancy are obvious. But when the above mentioned
symptoms present themselves to you, and you have enough reason to suspect
that you are pregnant, you must consult your doctor at once, preferably
an obstetrician. (An obstetrician specializes in caring for women while
they are pregnant and even after pregnancy.) The doctor will then run
tests to find out whether you ARE pregnant and in which pregnancy level
you are already in. If your doctor bears good news, that, indeed, a
miracle has formed in your womb, congratulations! You will soon be
holding in your arms the greatest gift you will ever receive.
