Am I pregnant ? How would You know ?

So you are preparing to be a mother. You know the basics. No drugs, no strenuous exercises. A lot of rest. And a lot of other things. But how would you know for sure that you have the good news your ears are longing to hear.

Missed Period , a sign of pregnancy.

It’s an age old sign, and immediately alerts you when you have missed a period. However some women experience light bleeding at the onset of their menstrual cycle.

Sometimes menstrual occurs throughout their pregnancy period. This is a rare circumstance but not totally non-existent.

Pregnancy tests

The level of hCG (the hormone secreted at the time of pregnancy) is checked. A false report is very rare. A negative answer that is later understood to be positive would be because the test was performed far too early. On the other hand a positive answer that later does not reveal pregnancy is due to an early miscarriage. You can always approach your gynecologist or call the manufacturing company that offers the pregnancy test.

Morning sickness

A nauseating feeling in the mornings can mark the beginning of pregnancy. But this is not common in all women. Some women experience an evening sickness. Yet another may feel sick all through the day. A situation called hyperemesis gravidarum is serious as this leads to dehydration and critical issues.

Breast Soreness

Breast soreness can be considered as a sign. But then women experience it even before their periods. But the soreness is said to fade by the second trimester.

Vaginal Discharge

Another sign of pregnancy could be vaginal discharge. The volume increase but there is no itchiness, dryness or any other disturbances. This is because the cervix is blocks foreign material to enter the body so as to protect the baby. Mild vaginal secretions too can be noticed.

Fatigue/Constipation

High levels of progesterone, the hormone secreted during pregnancy causes fatigue. It is an early sign of pregnancy.

During pregnancy you will find a change in your bowel movement. They get more relaxed. You may even experience frequent rips to the bathroom to urinate. This is because of the hormone chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), it’s the pregnancy hormone that stimulates urination.

Headaches

Alterations in the hormones can initiate headaches. However this cannot be considered as a confirmed pregnancy sign. As there are other reasons that cause headaches.

Bloated / Fatigue

Some women experience bloating. But then again it does not confirm pregnancy, as some women feel bloated even before their period. Progesterone, the hormone secreted during pregnancy can bring about a fatigue.

Darkened Areolas

The area around your nipple grows darker at pregnancy. Even the veins in your breasts and the tiny nubs around the areola tend to increase in number. Well, some of these symptoms will certainly tell you if you are going to be a mother. It’s a feeling that will place you on top of the world. Some women face many problems during pregnancy and some zilch.

All you have to do is take serious care of yourself and keep a positive frame of mind. After all it’s an experience privileged only to a woman.
