In many cases, a woman doesn’t even suspect that she is already pregnant. If a woman doesn’t plan to get pregnant, she may simply don’t pay attention to minor changes in her body and well-being. However, there are several early signs of pregnancy that many women can neglect. In this article, we have gathered five early signs of pregnancy you shouldn’t ignore.
Many women experience similar pelvic pain before and during the first days of menstruation. That’s why many women think that nothing unusual is happening since the lower abdominal pain usually means periods. But often the lower abdomen begins to ache not a day or two before the onset of menstruation, but 5-7 days when it is too early for them. Only when this pain is repeated day after day and menstruation doesn’t occur on time, can a woman suspect pregnancy.
During all this time, changes are already occurring in the body and drawing pains in the lower abdomen are caused by the implantation of the fetal egg into the uterus. This usually occurs on the 3-4th day after unprotected sexual intercourse. Two more days are necessary for the process of implanting a fertilized egg into the endometrium. However, you shouldn’t forget that pelvic pain can occur due to a number of other reasons (not always caused by pregnancy). That’s why it is better to consult the best gynecologist for a thorough diagnosis.
In many women, breasts can become tender and sensitive a few days before periods. But some women note that breast sensitivity during pregnancy is much stronger than before periods. In addition, breast size can increase, the veins in the mammary glands will become more noticeable, and the nipples will darken or become painful. If you suspect that you can be pregnant, you can examine your breast well or visit a gynecologist for an examination.
Today, many women have such tight schedules that you won’t surprise anyone with fatigue at the end of the day. But you should understand that fatigue can be different. If you can quickly regain strength after a few days of rest it can be simple tiredness. But during pregnancy, such fatigue will only accumulate and progress.
If waking up in the morning becomes more difficult and during the day you constantly want to stay in bed, this can be an early sign of pregnancy. These changes occur due to a fluctuation of the hormonal background. Additionally, the body temperature of a pregnant woman may rise slightly.
Often women in the third trimester of the pregnancy experience an increased frequency of urination because the fetus is already large enough and presses on the upper part of the bladder. In the early stages, the frequent urge to urinate can be caused by a change in the hormonal background, in particular, the hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin).
This hormone is responsible for an increase in urination. The uterus of a pregnant woman in the first weeks of pregnancy also increases slightly and presses on the back wall of the bladder. This causes l irritation and results in the need to visit the restroom more often, especially at night.
Some women can get facial and body acne before periods. If you are not one of them and skin rashes suddenly appeared on your face, there is reason to think about a possible pregnancy. Such rashes can be a sign of early toxicosis in pregnant women. They appear due to the changing hormonal background of the woman and by the time she already knows that she is pregnant, the rash goes away on its own. But you should know that this symptom is not for everyone and may depend on the general state of a woman’s health and her nutrition.
