Certain characteristic symptoms occur very early in
pregnancy, and most women go to their doctor for confirmation of pregnancy as
soon as they are aware of them. In my opinion, you should first check whether
you have these symptoms before going to the hospital. These symptoms are major,
so you can easily identify them.
1.
Missed Menstrual Period
The failure of the period to come at the usual time is
generally the first sign of pregnancy. A missed menstrual period in any woman
of childbearing age who is having sexual intercourse should be presumed to be
due to pregnancy, unless otherwise proved. Once the menstrual periods have
established a normal rhythm, pregnancy is the commonest cause for their delay
or absence. If a woman who has been regular in her periods does not menstruate
for a period of 2 months, it can be taken as certain that she has become
pregnant.
2. Modifications to the Breasts
Together with the absence of a period, the breast changes
are usually the most convincing evidence of early pregnancy. The premenstrual fullness
of the breast continues when the period does not appear, and within a matter of
days, the symptoms become even more marked. The breasts feel full, slightly
tender, and more sensitive than usual, especially in the region of the areola
(the pink area around the nipple) and the nipple. There may also be a sensation
of tingling. The breasts enlarge quite slowly but definitely so that by the end
of the 6th week after the last menstrual period, there are very
appreciable changes in their size. The nipple also enlarges, becomes more
prominent, and becomes more sensitive.
3. Nausea
Nausea, or the sensation of feeling sick, is very common in
the first three months of pregnancy and is frequently the first symptom
noticed by women. The nausea tends to be more prevalent in the early morning,
although it can occur at any time of the day. It follows an individual pattern
not only in each person but also in each pregnancy. Some women experience
nausea in the morning alone, others in the evening, and the more unfortunate may
suffer for most of the day. It is frequently, although not necessarily followed
by vomiting, when it is known as early morning’s sickness. Nausea is
accompanied by a sensation of fullness in the upper abdomen, which may become
so severe that a woman will actually make herself vomit in order to relieve
this pressure.
4. Vomiting
Vomiting in early pregnancy is usually associated with
severe nausea, but this is not an unbroken rule. The vomiting or morning
sickness, generally occurs early in the mornings relieving a fairly severe
degree of nausea. Actual vomiting often happens rather suddenly without the
disagreeable symptoms that precede it in the non-pregnant person. Vomiting during
pregnancy can occur at any time later in the day and will usually be worse if a
woman is subjected to strain, to strain, stress of worry.
5. Micturition
Sometimes the earliest symptoms of pregnancy are an
increase in the frequency of micturition. The majority of women pass urine
between 3 and 5 times each day and do not have to get up to empty their
bladders at night. It is not unusual in the early months of pregnancy for a
pregnant woman to have to pass urine every 2 hours during the day and for her
to get up at least twice during the night. This is not abnormal so long as
there is no pain or discomfort and is due to pressure from the enlarging
uterus, which is still within the pelvis, on the bladder. The frequency of
micturition tends to become less marked during the fourth month but may again
become more severe towards the end of pregnancy, especially just before or
after the baby’s head has engaged in the pelvis.
6. Constipation
Constipation is an early symptom of pregnancy but is not
sufficiently definite to assist in its diagnosis. The action of the hormone
progesterone relaxes the muscle of the intestine, reducing its movement and
causing varying degrees of constipation, which, unless treated, will probably
continue throughout the whole pregnancy.
7.
Taste
Alteration in taste may be among the earliest of pregnancy
symptoms. Some women will recognize a strange taste in their mouth even before
they miss their first period. Such a taste is characteristic of each individual
and is usually described as metallic. It is very difficult to differentiate
between smell and taste, and a pregnant woman has a different appreciation for
different smells and perfumes and usually an intense dislike of the smell of
cooking fat.
8. Skin
changes
Changes in the skin are not very common in early pregnancy,
but in some people, they do occur relatively early, and occasionally, they are
noticeable. Dry skin tends to become drier quite early in pregnancy. Some women
develop spots on the face, especially around the area where the area where the
complexion returns to normal. On rare occasions, however, they may persist for
several weeks or even months.
Conclusion
I have explained the symptoms of pregnancy above, including these major symptoms when a woman is pregnant. If you get these symptoms, you can test them yourself using a medical kit; otherwise, you can consult a doctor.
