The early signs of pregnancy commonly include a missed or lighter period, feeling tired, and sore breasts. Other frequent symptoms are morning sickness (which can occur any time of day), needing to urinate more often, food cravings or aversions, and emotional changes. Some women may also experience light spotting or implantation bleeding, bloating, cramping, and heightened sensitivity to smells or tastes. These symptoms can start around 4 to 6 weeks after conception but vary from person to person. To confirm pregnancy, taking a home pregnancy test followed by a visit to a healthcare professional is recommended for accurate diagnosis and advice on care.
