Early Pregnancy Signs
Many women of childbearing age have had moments in time when they began to wonder if a little bundle of
joy was on the way. In some cases, the thought occurs before a missed period and becomes a nagging
thought in the back of her mind. Other times, it may be a fervent wish to be pregnant or an
equally strong hope that she is not pregnant. Even before a late menstruation cycle, early signs of
pregnancy can be detected if you know what to look for.
Missing a period is one of the classic early signs of pregnancy. However, interestingly enough, in
some cases, a new mom to be may have a light period shortly after conception. It isn’t an indication
that anything is wrong necessarily, it just throws the progression of normal symptoms off and mom may
not realize she is pregnant from this event alone. If the possibility of exists, an unusual period
may be reason enough to explore some other pregnancy signs and take a home test just to be sure.
One of the lesser known early signs of pregnancy is a sudden sensitivity to smells. Maybe while getting
ready for work one morning, you apply your favorite perfume and immediately are hit by a wave of nausea.
Maybe you normally hate the smell of gasoline, but when you fill your car’s tank, for some reason the
scent isn’t as unpleasant as before.
Experts attribute this sign of pregnancy as a result of higher levels of estrogen in a newly
pregnant woman’s body. This symptom can show up even before a missed period says something
may have changed...
Just like scent sensitivity, food cravings and aversions can be early signs of pregnancy.
Strange food combinations eaten at weird times, aren’t uncommon in the beginning stages of pregnancy.
Some women report suddenly developing extreme aversions for foods or specific types of food that
they used to love. While this pregnancy sign can be humorous due to its unpredictable nature, it can
be an early indicator of future joy.
Many times when a woman claims that she just feels pregnant, people discount the validity of
the statement. Often though, she is ultimately proven to be correct. A variety of small, seemingly
insignificant feelings can add up to early signs of pregnancy. No one knows how a body feels better
than the person who resides in it.
A little nausea, a bloated feeling, and tender breasts may not sound like much at first, but
the woman who is experiencing it may be on the right track to confirming her pregnancy.
