When they get pregnant, women experience a large variety of symptoms signaling a new life is growing inside their wombs. It is not necessary to have all the signs to know that you are pregnant. There are many particularities regarding the sensations experienced at the beginning of the pregnancy by women.
After the female’s egg is fertilized, it takes more than a week – around 10 days even – for the first symptoms to appear. Anyhow, this not a strict rule, as other women may sense something even earlier. What happens in the female body is that the progesterone level increases and this comes along with a higher temperature of the entire body. Again, some women may feel the body temperature dropping in this interval instead of rising. Also, pregnant women may feel abdominal pain in the lower part of the belly and some bleeding of pinkish or brownish color may occur.
If you experienced any of the above signals and you have reasons to believe that you became pregnant, the best way to find out is to take a pregnancy test. But you must keep in mind that the test must be taken at least two weeks after the ovulation for more accurate results. This is the more comfortable way, as pregnancy test can be purchased without prescription and taken in the comfort of your home. Of course, you can go see the doctor and he or she can run a blood test to see if you are pregnant. This is also the solution if you do not think the home pregnancy test is accurate and you still feel pregnancy signs even though the result was negative.
Lack of menstruation is a strong sign of pregnancy and one of the most common. Usually, menstruation occurs 15 days after ovulation so, if a longer time passes and the bleeding does not happen, there are reasons to run some pregnancy tests. A pregnant woman also may experience frequent urination.
Two weeks after fertilization is the period after which many other signs of pregnancy appear. The woman begins to feel the morning sickness, another well known sign of pregnancy. She will begin to experience nausea and upset stomach starting early in the morning and all day long. The first trimester of a pregnancy is usually marked by morning sickness. While some women may feel it even after that, others will not experience it anymore in the second and the third trimester.
After one month, the female body continues to change. The tender breasts sensation shows its first signs. There are also other physical changes connected with the tender, tingling feel in the breasts that often is associated with menstruation, only that it is more intense during pregnancy. The breasts areolas get a darker color and they enlarge.
A pregnant woman is subject to hormonal balance, as well. Because the hormone levels run wild, symptoms like headaches, backaches, constipation, abdominal cramps, heartburn and rapid changes of mood start to show. Also, the woman feels extremely tired because of the pregnancy.
Other symptoms are a rise in the woman’s appetite and a certain intensification of smell that cause the woman to stay away from some foods.
In four months, the mother to be will start to feel the new life moving inside her. But some women may have to wait a little longer to sense these signs.
The best test that you can make in order to see if you are pregnant is to see a doctor. These symptoms shown above may be related to a pregnancy, but they also can be accidental, so it is advisable to make sure you are really pregnant. The blood test run by your doctor is the best indicator in such situations.
