Pregnancy Symptoms
Some women get pregnancy symptoms soon after the conception of the embryo but in some it takes a little time maybe a couple of weeks. Although the signs differ depending on the body type of women but there are some cardinal signs to determine the onset of pregnancy.
Now let us review some of the early signs of gestation:
1. Amenorrhea or absence of menses is the first and foremost sign of conception. In rare cases there is bleeding every month throughout the nine months of pregnancy.
2. Some symptoms that women may experience are tenderness or swelling of breasts after 1-2 weeks of pregnancy.
3. Weariness and exhaustion after little exertion.
4. Morning sickness. Most expecting mothers experience nausea on rising but it is absent in a few lucky ones.
5. Aches and pains: Due to hormonal changes in the body. There might be backache, headache and body ache.
6. Recurrent urination after 6-8 weeks of pregnancy.
7. Darkening of areola of the nipples is one of sure signs of conception.
8.Different women crave for different food like pickles, sweets, ice cream or indigestible things like slate, chalk, charcoal etc.
The above mentioned symptoms and signs might be experienced due to problems like hormonal imbalances, fatigue, changes in dosage of contraceptive pills, depression, stress, muscular pains, food poisoning, indigestion causing nausea and vomiting, malnutrition etc.
Even if you experience these early signs and symptoms of gestation, you must get your pregnancy tested by a urine test or an obstetrician.
