An ill informed prospective mother may only realize that she is or may be pregnant after a couple of months into her pregnancy when obvious signs show-up(swelling up of the belly). However, there are many other signs and symptoms of pregnancy that you should look out for. The more symptoms you have the more likely that you’re pregnant. It is advisable to take note of the signs and symptoms mentioned below in order to keep a check on your bodily function and if you’re experiencing most or even some of them, you should contact a doctor to make sure that you and your baby are well nourished and that the proper pregnancy procedures are followed.
- Missing your period - This is one of the most common sign of pregnancy. If you are regular with your period and by chance you miss it or it’s delayed, it’s worth trying a Pregnancy test, especially if you’re at a child bearing age.
- Elevated sense of taste – Pregnancy brings about a change in the sense of taste for many women. Some generally complain of not being able to taste the food they usually like, while others complain of a metallic taste that incessantly lingers in their mouth.
- Exhaustion – feeling fatigued/exhausted too often? If so, it may be a sign that you’re pregnant. This is a classic symptom experienced during the early stages of one’s pregnancy. Elevated levels of the progesterone hormone that’s only released when you’re pregnant can make you feel fatigued easily.
- Darkened areolas – Darkening of the skin around your nipples may be a sign that you are pregnant. This symptom also occurs due to hormone imbalance or could be carried over from your previous pregnancy. Whatever is the case being sure to get you tested?
- Food cravings – Although not a sure symptom, food cravings are often connected to pregnancies. However this is not a reliable symptom as one may crave for food for several non-pregnancy related reasons as well.
