The symptoms of pregnancy can vary from person to person and from pregnancy to pregnancy. However, some common early symptoms of pregnancy include:
-
Missed period: If you have a regular monthly menstrual cycle, a missed period is the earliest and most reliable sign of pregnancy.
-
Nausea and vomiting: Although commonly known as "morning sickness," vomiting and nausea can happen at any time of the day or night.
-
Breast changes: Hormonal changes in the body can cause breasts to become swollen, sore, or tingly, and the nipples may darken and stand out.
-
Fatigue: Its common to feel tired or exhausted during pregnancy, especially during the first 12 weeks or so.
-
Frequent urination: Pregnant women may feel the need to pee more often than usual.
Other symptoms of early pregnancy can include spotting or light bleeding, mood changes, headaches, and food cravings or aversions. However, these symptoms may also be caused by other factors and do not necessarily mean that you are pregnant. If you suspect you are pregnant, take a home pregnancy test and see your doctor.
