Early Signs of Pregnancy and frequent Urination:
Missed Period This is probably one of the more reliable first signs
of pregnancy. Although some women will experience implantation
bleeding about the time of their period, it is usually lighter
and/or shorter than their normal period. This is why you are asked
for the first day of your last normal period. There are even a few
women who will have period throughout their pregnancy, although this
is rare, it does happen.
Breast TendernessBreast tenderness is experienced by many women,
both during pregnancy and prior to their periods. This usually goes
away during the second trimester, or it may be experienced as a
heighten sensitivity. This can be a good thing for some women.
Morning sicknessAround half to two thirds of all pregnant women
experience some degree of morning sickness, especially in the first
few months. The symptoms include nausea and vomiting. For most
women, morning sickness begins around the fourth week of pregnancy
and resolves by the 12th week. Apart from pregnancy, nausea and
vomiting can be caused by other factors including:
* Food poisoning
* Gastrointestinal disorders
* Some types of infection.
Frequent urination Pregnancy prompts increased levels of body fluids
and greater kidney efficiency. The swelling uterus also presses
against the bladder. Most women start experiencing more frequent
urination within the first few weeks of conception. Apart from
pregnancy, frequent urination can be caused by other factors
including Urinary tract infections, Diabetes or Diuretic
medications.
Positive TestPregnancy tests are now an accurate way of confirming
pregnancy, many tests are 98%+ accurate, but you may need to wait a
number of days after your period is due before it can detect
pregnancy. There are Early pregnancy tests available now.
What Are The Early Signs Of Pregnancy:
Just as body reaction differs so are pregnancy
signs. Some women may experience signs of pregnancy within some days
of pregnancy but some stay up to weeks before such experience may
occur while in some women pregnancy signs may not occur at all.
Early pregnancy signs differ from one woman to the other and from
pregnancy to the other. For you to understand the signs of your
pregnancy is very important in the sense that the signs you are
having may be related to something else other than pregnancy.
However, missed menstrual period is one of the most common pregnancy
signs that lead a woman to undergo test of pregnancy. When you
conceive, you will not expect to see your next period though many
women bleed while they are pregnant but if you fall into this
category you will find out that the bleeding will be lighter and
shorter than your normal period.
Implantation bleeding is also one of the early signs of pregnancy
meanwhile the embryo implants itself into the uterine wall after
conception thereby causing you to experience some cramping and
spotting which may be pink in colour.
Frequent urination as one of the early pregnancy signs occurs in
some women even before they missed their period. This happens
because the changes in hormone levels that is produced by
implantation of embryo. Also, increase in body temperature is also
one of the early pregnancy signs.
All things being equal, if you begin to experience any of the signs
listed above, you better confirm if it is pregnancy by going for
urine test or carryout home pregnancy tests yourself. After all
these and you still test negative, try again the test again or to be
in a safer side, see your gynecologists.
