Whether you are trying to become pregnant, or afraid that you are pregnant little changes in your body can be clues to a growing baby inside of you. Three very early signs of pregnancy include a missing a period, fatigue and breast pain. These are small indications that you may be expecting. Each one can have different reasons behind there appearance and aside from the missed period, not every woman will experience the symptoms the same way.
A missed period can be deceptive since slight bleeding can occur throughout the first three months. Typically though periods will end 2 weeks after fertilization. If you experience very regular periods it will be a more reliable symptom. This one is often one of the undeniable signs of pregnancy.
Breasts can become quite sore. Tender, enlarged breasts are caused from the body's changing hormone levels. They can also become tingly or have painful throbbing. The nipples themselves may even become more sensitive. The body needs to make adjustments and this early symptom is one that is unusual enough in most cases to prompt a blood test for pregnancy. This will most likely go away to a point as the body makes it's necessary adjustments. Needing to wear a less constricting bra, or one without scratchy lace or other embellishments may be something to consider if you are experiencing this symptom.
Fatigue is a difficult one to pinpoint. Although it is a early sign, it is often very hard to tell if you are tired from normal day to day life, stress or if you are truly pregnant. The type of fatigue is generally closer to exhaustion and is different than what normally is experienced. The body needs to adjust to the fluctuating hormones and direct more energy towards the growth of the baby and this can cause overwhelming waves of exhaustion that may make some women wonder if they are coming down with an illness. Getting a blood test to determine pregnancy is sometimes not the first thought when tired though.
