A frequently asked question by many women every month is "Am I pregnant?" This is the query of most sexually active women either wanting or not wanting pregnancy. There are times when no such symptoms are noticed until the woman misses her periods. However there are many women who either fail to keep the record of their menstrual cycles or in some cases the cycles of the women are not very regular. In both cases the women are not sure when to expect the menstrual cycles. So an obvious indicator of pregnancy is missing periods in their case. The good news is there are few early signs of pregnancy that can help to determine the pregnancy even before missing her periods.
Following are the 4 top early signs of pregnancy that will enable most women to detect their pregnancy even before missing their periods.
Tender and Swollen Breasts: The earliest sign of pregnancy is sensitive breasts. The cause behind the sensitive breasts is a thrush of hormones. The tenderness or soreness of the breasts resembles those experienced before menstrual periods but here it is an exaggerated version of this. The discomfort of breasts decreases once the first trimester is over; as the body gets acquainted with new hormonal level.
Tiredness: Have you started to feel completely exhausted? If yes then it can be the earliest possible sign of pregnancy. No one can rightly find out the cause of tiredness in early pregnancy. However it is believed that an increase in the level of progesterone is the underlying cause as it contributes to sleepiness.
These tiredness or fatigue feeling fades away when the second trimester starts. The pregnant mom starts to feel more energetic. Sometimes these pregnant feeling fades away in the third trimester as women have to carry an increased body weight. Restless nights are also the contributory cause of fatigue in the last semester.
Implantation Bleeding: It is common for woman to experience some vaginal bleeding after 12 days of conception. The underlying cause of this vaginal bleeding is that fertilized egg has to try hard to burrow itself in the uterus lining. This vaginal bleeding is not heavy and may last for not more than 2 days.
Morning Sickness: There are few women who do not experience morning sickness even after month of conception. However there are few women who start to feel queasy soon after the fertilized egg implants in the uterus. It is important to note that pregnancy related sickness is not only confined to morning; it can happen any time during the day or even night.
