Pregnancy Symptoms
Pregnancy Symptoms
Detecting the early signs of pregnancy is not always easy. There are many different symptoms, and it is possible to have all or only a few of them. Some women have all the early signs of a pregnancy, yet are not pregnant, while others may only have some of the signs but are definitely pregnant. The signs and symptoms of an early pregnancy are only signs -- not a confirmation of pregnancy. Your symptoms should be followed up with a valid pregnancy test for a reliable and accurate early diagnosis.
Early Pregnancy Signs:
-
You stop having your period, or you spot slightly when you would have normally had your period, or you spot when the fertilized egg implants in your uterus.
-
You experience swollen or tender breasts.
-
You need to urinate more frequently.
-
You experience excess, unexplained tiredness and may even need to nap.
