5 early signs of pregnancy

KNOWING THE EARLY SIGNS OF PREGNANCY CAN HELP YOU PREPARE FOR WHAT’S TO COME AND MAKE IMPORTANT DECISIONS ABOUT YOUR BODY. MANY PEOPLE BEGIN TO SUSPECT PREGNANCY ONLY AFTER MISSING A PERIOD, BUT YOUR BODY MAY GIVE OTHER SIGNALS AS WELL. ONE INDICATOR OF POTENTIAL PREGNANCY IS LIGHT SPOTTING, A SMALL AMOUNT OF BLEEDING THAT APPEARS 10 TO 14 DAYS AFTER CONCEPTION. YOU MAY ALSO FEEL FATIGUED AND NOTICE TENDER OR SWOLLEN BREASTS IN THE VERY EARLY WEEKS OF PREGNANCY. NAUSEA AND/OR VOMITING, OFTEN CALLED “MORNING SICKNESS” ALTHOUGH IT CAN OCCUR AT ANY TIME OF DAY, GENERALLY APPEARS 6 TO 8 WEEKS AFTER CONCEPTION. MANY PEOPLE START TO EXPERIENCE INCREASED URINATION AND A FEELING OF BEING BLOATED AROUND THIS TIME. YOUR RAPIDLY-CHANGING HORMONES MIGHT ALSO TRIGGER MOODINESS AND AVERSIONS TO CERTAIN FOODS OR SMELLS. IF YOU SUSPECT YOU’RE PREGNANT, YOU SHOULD TAKE AN AT-HOME PREGNANCY TEST AND, IF POSITIVE, CONSULT WITH YOUR DOCTOR
