Early sign of pregnancy
Monitor your body carefully to recognize early pregnancy
symptoms. Advancing
pregnancy week by week, gives rise to many changes in the
body, both internally as well as externally. Some changes are:
Nausea: Morning sickness or frequent
vomiting occurs very
early in the pregnancy. Many women mistake it for food poisoning or stomach
disorder.
Heartburn: Indigestion, acidity and heartburn are also early
pregnancy symptoms and stay till late stages of pregnancy.
Enhanced sense of smell and taste: Lots of women become very
sensitive to the taste and smell of common food items. Those items trigger
nausea.
Dizziness and fainting: Enhanced smells, taste and nausea
make many women avoid food and skip meals. This results in low
blood sugar level
and dizzy spells or fainting.
Constipation: Lack of proper diet and slow metabolism during
pregnancy results in frequent constipation.
Frequent urination: This happens as early as first week of
pregnancy due to the pressure of growing uterus on the urinary bladder.
Tiredness: Exhaustion and tiredness are the common symptoms
of pregnancy in first trimester.
Enlarged nipples and tender breasts: As the body prepares
itself for breastfeeding, the nipples enlarge and breasts become swollen, tender
and sore to touch during early pregnancy.
Spotting: Some women may experience some light bleeding or
spotting 8-10 days after ovulation, coinciding with the date of next due period.
Missed period: This is the clinical, classic early pregnancy
symptom. Some women may experience cramping and low back pain as just before the
arrival of periods feeling without any signs of bleeding.
Irritability: Nausea, tiredness, cramps, backache, enhanced
smells and fluctuating hormones make many pregnant women extremely irritable.
Change in complexion: The raging hormones cause skin
spotting, acne or other complexion changes in the first trimester of the
pregnancy.
Weight loss: Many women lose weight during early pregnancy
due to food fetishes. One must eat
healthy foods
at frequent intervals to
maintain the nutrient level of the body.
Watch out for these early pregnancy symptoms and try to
remain active and healthy for these nine months.
