Early Signs Of Pregnancy

It is amazing how many individuals do not know the early signs of pregnancy. For any person that is sexually active, knowing the early signs of pregnancy can help a woman identify that she has become pregnant and can alert her to take the steps needed to protect her health and the health of the baby inside of her. By recognizing the early signs of pregnancy, the woman will be able to quickly stop any habits, such as drinking alcohol or smoking, that may harm the fetus and will be able to start the proper nutrition to support the growth of the baby. There are several signs that can indicate that the woman is pregnant.

When it comes to the early signs of pregnancy, no sign is as telling as the woman missing her monthly period. Missing a monthly menstrual period most often occurs when a woman is pregnant, although there are other factors that can cause a woman to miss her period. For women that are sexually active, a missed period is generally the first indication that the woman has become pregnant. It is also the sign that causes most women to take a pregnancy test to confirm whether or not she is pregnant. As one of the early signs of pregnancy, a missed period causes the greatest reaction and quickest confirmation of pregnancy.

Tender, swollen breasts and fatigue are some other early signs of pregnancy that a woman should be aware of. In the early stages of pregnancy, hormones flood the body causing the physical changes that are necessary to accommodate the growth of the baby inside the womb. The appearance of these early signs of pregnancy is a good indicator that the woman is pregnant. The breasts become tender because they are adjusting to be able to produce milk to feed the infant. The fatigue comes from all of the unconscious changes that the body is going through on a cellular level to prepare to carry the fetus to term and for the eventual delivery of the baby. These early signs of pregnancy indicate a great change occurring in the body in order to accommodate the baby growing inside.

Another of the early signs of pregnancy that the woman should be aware of is morning sickness. Morning sickness is also caused by the high levels of hormones in the body during the first stages of pregnancy. Some women are intolerant of the high hormone levels, which causes nausea that can strike without warning at any time of the day. Morning sickness generally disappears as the first trimester comes to an end, but in some cases, morning sickness can last until the delivery of the baby. Recognizing the early signs of pregnancy is best for the health of both the mother and the child as they provide an early warning system that nutritional and physical habits will need to be adjusted to accommodate the growth of the fetus.
