SIGNS OF PREGNANCY


The onset and degree and signs of pregnancy will vary from woman to woman. Many women experience them within the days of conceptions; others take a few weeks before pregnancy. And the lucky few feel no discomfort at all.
Some early pregnancy symptoms can be felt once implantations occur, 8 to 10 days from ovulation and will lessen after the first trimester.
Nausea and vomiting may come as early as a week into the pregnancy. Many women experience morning sickness even in the afternoon or evening, or even throughout the day.
The exact reason for this could not be still be located, but eating small meals or eating an apple or a glass of milk tends to lessen the nausea.
Breasts may be very tender, swollen and start to enlarge, the nipples start looking darkened in color.
Pregnancy causes the uterus to swell and it will start to enlarge for the growing fetus immediately. The growing uterus puts pressure on your bladder making you feel the need for frequent urination.
Light bleeding may occur around the same time you would have gotten your menstrual period. Do not be mistaken it for period.
When standing in one place the woman may feel dizzy or even faint. The growing uterus compresses major arteries in your legs which cause your blood pressure to drop.
Pregnancy hormones will also slow down bowel functions to give maximum absorption time of vitamins and nutrients.
Some problems of irritability and heartburn may also show up.
And of course if you think you might be pregnant you should see a good doctor.
