Do You Recognize The Early Pregnancy Signs And Symptoms?
It is so exciting to think you might be pregnant. It is very hard to wait until you miss your first period should buy a pregnancy kit. Many people do go out and buy one of the early pregnancy kits and still test too early, so they end up wasting money and getting a negative result when they really are pregnant.
Of course you have probably been trying out some old wives tales in an effort to get pregnant so here are a few that signify pregnancy: if your own or other peoples kids are showing you more affection then you are likely pregnant, if your cats cant keep themselves away from you and are constantly purring on your chest you are probably pregnant, and if you are having more nightmares that usual it is a sign you might be pregnant. Now take all that advice with a grain of salt, because they are just silly but fun little tests that have no scientific basis on determining if really are pregnant.
If you want to get into more serious ways of checking some early pregnancy signs you want to go with a few common and well-known pregnancy symptoms. Be aware however, that you might be reading too much into each sign, as they are similar to what may be happening to your body prior to your next menstrual cycle.
One of the first signs you will have during early pregnancy is feeling bloated and weight gain. If you havent been indulging in excess treats and you find your clothes getting a little tighter this might be a sign of pregnancy. You are probably expecting your period soon, so you might be discouraged by some slight spotting or bleeding; this is actually common during implantation and is called implantation bleeding, so if it isnt quite like your period then its possible this is what you are seeing.
Are people telling you that you are being a bit crabbier than usual? Mood swings and particularly irritability are signs that you are reacting to the new hormones in your system cause by early pregnancy. Morning sickness is also common in early pregnancy and you might find yourself in varying degrees of nausea during different periods of the day. Similarly you might find yourself smelling things a bit stronger.
During pregnancy your sense of smell jumps up and it might seem a bit unusual to you. This extended sense of smell might also be setting off a nauseas session for you when you come across a food you used to enjoy but now cant tolerate. Not being able to tolerate previous foods you could is also a very common early pregnancy sign.
If you are feeling a bit dizzy on top of your nausea then you are getting some more early pregnancy signs in there too. It is not unheard of to feel a bit of vertigo on occasion when you are in the early stages of pregnancy.
You might be experiencing one or even all of these symptoms in early pregnancy. Make sure you are taking pregnancy tests, and if the first one is negative, wait a few days and test again. The most definitive way to determine if you are pregnant is to go see your doctor and get a blood test. Remember worrying about being pregnant doesnt help you or the baby if you are, so take it easy and enjoy the journey.
