Early Pregnancy Symptoms

There are some symptoms of pregnancy that come very early, mabye even before you miss your period that can tell you know that you may be pregnant.

Early pregnancy symptoms can sometimes be a bear to detect because they seem alot like PMS. You might think that what you are feeling is normal and means that your period will come soon.

Many women seem to have a “gut instinct” that just tells them that something is different. If you think that your body is trying to tell you something, it may be worth listening to.

One of the earliest symptoms of pregnancy is fatigue. Sudden, unusual exhaustion and feeling tired at points in the day when you should have energy are all things that some women experience. The fatigue that comes with pregnancy is a result of the pregnancy hormones and their effect on your body. Fatigue can show up almost as soon as you become pregnant.

The next common early pregnancy symptom that you may experience is tender, sore breasts. If you have already had a baby, this can be a more obvious symptom and you may even notice your breasts swelling fairly early on in your pregnancy.

Morning sickness is symptom of early pregnancy.   Like everything else in pregnancy, morning sickness can vary from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy. Morning sickness may be anything from a queazy tummy to vomiting and doesn't just happen in the mornings, despite the name. Many women find that their morning sickness is worsened by smells, including the smells of some food.

Finally, the most obvious early pregnancy symptom is your missed period. If you have any of the symptoms above and your period is late, it may be time to take a home pregnancy test or make an appointment with your doctor.
