Feeling slightly nauseous to full-blown sick is a pregnancy symptom. Not all women experience this, and it can range from mild to severe.
Are you extra tired and can’t seem to sleep enough to feel rested? Likely due to hormonal changes, you could feel exhausted during pregnancy.
If you have light vaginal bleeding close to when you expect your period but it doesn’t continue or get any heavier, this could be implantation bleeding. This sign can happen when the embryo implants in the lining of the uterus.
Are you craving foods you used to not care about? Do foods you used to like no longer appeal to you (broccoli, for instance)? This is a known pregnancy symptom.
During pregnancy, the breasts undergo many changes, including feeling tender and swollen at the beginning. They may also enlarge, and the areolas can darken.
Your hormones can cause your digestion to slow down during pregnancy, leading to constipation. That’s one reason, among many, why drinking lots of water during pregnancy can help.
Your nose might also feel stuffy due to hormonal changes that cause the mucous membranes in your nose to swell, dry out, and bleed easily. Nosebleeds are fairly common during pregnancy.
Do you feel moody and can switch between emotions pretty quickly? Crying spells and feeling unusually emotional can be pregnancy symptoms.
Other early pregnancy signs and symptoms include frequent urination, cramping, a metallic taste in your mouth, hot flashes, and excessive saliva.
The most obvious sign of pregnancy is the absence of your period. If you have missed your period, it’s time to take a pregnancy test.
