Pregnancy causes many symptoms and every woman experiences them differently. From extreme nausea and vomiting to hardly any symptoms, there are some pregnancy symptoms that are most common. If you are experiencing symptoms that are not normal to you and you’re wondering if you are
pregnant, keep reading to find out more:
1. A missed period
With pregnancy come changes to your hormones. These changes cause you to miss your period. Sometimes this can be confusing if your period is irregular but if it has not started within a few weeks of when you expect it and you are having sex, you should consider taking a pregnancy test. You can receive a free pregnancy test at Heart to Heart.
2. Tender breasts
Hormonal changes during the early stages of pregnancy can make your breasts become tender and swollen. The tenderness tends to lessen as pregnancy progresses. Your nipples may become larger and darker as well.
3. Nausea, with or without vomiting
While most people associate “morning sickness” with pregnancy, nausea can happen any time of day or night. The cause of the nausea is unclear, but it is believed to be caused by changes in hormones. Nausea usually begins around 2 months but some women may have it earlier or do not have it at all. It may also occur with sudden food aversions.
4. Fatigue
You may feel tired, fatigued, and sleepy as your body undergoes the many changes of pregnancy. The cause of fatigue is unknown but is thought to be caused by sudden changes in hormones.
5. Increased urination
Due to the increased amount of blood in your body that happens with pregnancy, you will likely find yourself going to the bathroom more frequently. Could you be pregnant?
If you are sexually active and have missed your period, you may be pregnant. You may be pregnant with or without symptoms.
