In the meantime, here are some early pregnancy signs and symptoms to note.
Common Early Pregnancy Symptoms
Mayo Clinic shares common pregnancy signs and symptoms women experience early in their pregnancies, including:
1. A Missed Period
A well-known sign of pregnancy is a missed period. Though it may point to pregnancy, it’s essential to take a pregnancy test to be sure.
However, for women with irregular periods, it can be hard to tell the difference between a missed period and a delay.
2. Nausea with or without Vomiting
The many hormonal changes in your body likely cause nausea, also known as “morning sickness.” Although this symptom is considered common, not every woman will experience it.
3. Tender, Swollen Breasts
A woman may experience tender, swollen breasts that feel sore and sensitive. It will most likely subside with time as her body adjusts to hormonal changes.
4. Frequent Urination
Do you have to urinate more than normal? Frequent urination is common in early pregnancy as a woman’s body increases blood production. As a result, the kidneys process more fluid, which ends up in the bladder.
5. Fatigue
Do you feel sleepy and run down right now? This tiredness is another early pregnancy symptom likely due to hormonal changes in the body.
6. Moodiness
Women can feel unusually emotional and weepy or experience mood swings due to the flood of hormones.
Other Signs and Symptoms
Every woman’s mix of pregnancy signs and symptoms can differ. Others may include light spotting, food aversions, cramping, constipation, nasal congestion, and bloating.
