Nausea and vomiting and late menstruation are the most common symptoms of pregnancy, the most common pregnancy symptoms. Usually these signs have appeared even if your pregnancy is only two weeks old. That's because as soon as your egg is fertilized, the body will begin to experience various changes to adjust. Even so, there are various other pregnancy signs that you may never have realized before.

Common signs of pregnancy

Pregnant characteristics that usually occur in women are not just late menstruation, but here are other symptoms:

  • The breasts are sore and swollen. Hormonal changes in early pregnancy can make your breasts soften, sensitive, or sick. Your breasts can also feel fuller and heavier.
  • Nausea, with or without vomiting. Morning sickness, which can strike at any time, day or night, sometimes starting at the earliest three weeks after conception. The cause of nausea during pregnancy is still unclear, but pregnancy hormones may be the cause. Pregnant women may also find that a previously unobtrusive aroma will cause nausea.
  • Frequent urination. You can find yourself urinating more often than before.
  • Feel more tired. Fatigue also ranks highest of early pregnancy symptoms. During early pregnancy, the level of the hormone progesterone soars. This is what can make you sleepy.
  • Missing appetite or even cravings. When you are pregnant, you may suddenly not like some foods. Cravings are also common. Like most other pregnancy symptoms, the desire to eat certain foods may be related to hormonal changes.

Signs of pregnancy that not many people know

In addition to the signs that many people already know as mentioned above, there are also some symptoms that you might not be aware of that are related to pregnancy. What are the pregnancy signs that not many people know?

1. Vaginal bleeding

Sometimes spotting or bleeding from the vagina is one of the earliest signs of pregnancy, known as implantation bleeding. Implantation occurs when the fertilized egg attaches to the uterine wall which is about 10 to 14 days after fertilization. Generally, this condition lasts for a short duration and occurs at the same time your menstruation should occur. However, implantation bleeding is usually much milder than menstrual bleeding.

2. Abdominal cramps

Some women experience mild uterine cramps during early pregnancy. Although sometimes this often confuses women, because it is almost similar to PMS symptoms.

3. Changes mood

The overflow of hormones in the body early in pregnancy can make you become extraordinarily emotional and whiny. Mood changes are also common in early pregnancy.

4. Dizziness

Pregnancy causes your blood vessels to dilate and your blood pressure to decrease. As a result, you may often feel dizzy and have a headache.

5. Constipation

Hormonal changes can slow down your digestive system. This then causes you to have difficulty defecating and the CHAPTER schedule becomes chaotic.

6. High body temperature

Basal body temperature, aka body temperature, when just waking up in the morning can provide clues to the beginning of pregnancy. Basal body temperature will increase slightly after ovulation and remain at the same temperature until the next menstruation.

If you have measured your basal body temperature to determine when you ovulate, and after two weeks your body temperature continues to rise, this can be a sign that you are pregnant.

Unfortunately, these signs and symptoms do not always mean you are pregnant. Some of the symptoms above can also mean you will get sick or just menstruate. Vice versa. You can get pregnant without experiencing any signs and symptoms.

However, if you are late at the same time feeling some of the symptoms above, maybe it's time for you to take a home pregnancy test, especially if you don't record your menstrual cycle or if your menstrual cycle varies from one month to another. If the results of your pregnancy test at home are positive, consult your doctor. The sooner your pregnancy is confirmed, the faster you can start prenatal care.
