Early Pregnancy Signs and Symptoms
Pregnancy brings about various physical and emotional changes, although not every woman experiences the same symptoms.
Here are some common signs to look for
Bloating
Feeling bloated is normal, especially in the early months of pregnancy. Increased hormones such as progesterone slow digestion, causing gas to be trapped in the intestines, leading to abdominal bloating.
Cramping and Spotting
Mild cramping and spotting can occur, often mistaken for a period. Approximately one in four women will experience spotting during early pregnancy.
Nausea and Vomiting
Morning sickness, including nausea and vomiting, is common, usually in the first trimester.
Fatigue
Feeling tired is typical throughout pregnancy.
Mood Swing
Hormonal changes can lead to mood swings, which tend to improve as pregnancy progresses.
Breast Changes
Tender, swollen breasts or changes in nipple color are common.
Sensitivity to Smells
Some women become more sensitive to odors.
