Reading Early Signs of Pregnancy

For those who are waiting to become pregnant, any and all signs suddenly become pregnancy related. As we watch our bodies with a vigilance never previously experienced, we become unofficial experts on the early signs of pregnancy - each somewhat abnormal behavior we exhibit suddenly telling the story of a pregnancy.

There are many early signs of pregnancy; unfortunately many of these signs can also be attributed to other things. The only way to know for sure if you are pregnant is to see a doctor. Early home pregnancy tests are also incredibly accurate and can be purchased over-the-counter at most retail drug outlets. If you are experiencing any early signs of pregnancy, take an early pregnancy test as soon as possible.

One of the early signs of pregnancy is fatigue. Most pregnant women will tell you that a "pregnant" tired is like a tired they have never experienced before or after. But if you are trying to become pregnant or have never been pregnant before then exhaustion caused by stress, sickness, or lack of sleep can seem like one of the early signs of pregnancy.

Breast tenderness is also one of the early signs of pregnancy. A newly pregnant body will begin to ready itself for motherhood almost immediately. The breasts will begin to change and grow as they prepare for milk production. However, breast tenderness can also be a sign of impending menstruation as well as a number of other conditions.

Additionally, nausea and vomiting are also early signs of pregnancy that women experience in the first trimester. While these signs can also be contributed to stomach illness, if they are persistent and timely then they are often early signs of pregnancy. Some women may also experience strange food cravings - even early on in pregnancy. Foods that they never would have thought of eating are suddenly irresistible.

No matter what you experience or do not experience as your early signs of pregnancy, it is imperative that you see a doctor if you suspect that you are pregnant. Early prenatal care will go a long way towards protecting the health of you and your baby.
