Symptoms of pregnancy
Before you suspect you are pregnant, your body undergoes significant changes that are designed to support the development of the embryo. Pregnancy hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, and OXG (human chorionic gonadotropin) combine to create a nutrient and protective environment for the recently fertilized and implanted egg.
When do I feel anything?
Most women do not notice the early symptoms of pregnancy until the beginning of the 6th week,
however, this issue is personal. Some women pay so much attention to their bodies that they can feel the changes from the time of fertilization. If you are planning a pregnancy, then you are ready to show the early symptoms of pregnancy and changes. Couples who are being treated for infertility and receiving fertilization help are more sensitive to the symptoms of pregnancy.
I’m not sure I want to know
If you are trying to conceive, you may find that your hopes are dashed. Most women are familiar with the frustration of a negative pregnancy test or the appearance of menstruation. Keep in mind that if you have used contraceptives, fertilization can occur up to 12 months after you stop taking the route.
I don't see the difference
If you are not experiencing the pregnancy symptoms described above, there is nothing to worry about. Some women go through the early stages of pregnancy calmly and without any special physiological or psychological changes. This does not mean that they have a different pregnancy or that they are more at risk than women who have all the symptoms of pregnancy.
Physical changes
-
One of the first physical changes is increased blood flow to the uterus, vagina, cervix, and vulva. In the early stages of pregnancy, these tissues are distinctive blue or dark red. Most women are unaware of this, but they can see it if their doctor does a pelvic exam, or if the woman's partner is very attentive.
- You may feel depressed because of hunger. Within a few hours, you may feel empty and hungry in your stomach. This feeling cannot be completely eliminated. He may feel a little relieved while eating.
- Frequent urination may reduce the volume of the bladder during emptying. Initially, you may have a urinary tract infection or you may be consuming large amounts of caffeine. However, you may have doubts, especially if you have had unprotected sex in the last few weeks.
-
Nausea and upset stomach. It may not be accompanied by vomiting, but you may experience discomfort during the day and in the evening.
-
Pain, heaviness and tenderness of the chest. Your nipples may become sensitive and begin to sting so much that you will always feel it. The areolas are thicker, larger, and can increase in size. Feelings in the breasts that occur before menstruation, but with more discomfort.
-
You may have some bleeding. They are not menstrual in nature and look like light discharges. This is called implantation hemorrhage, and it occurs when a newly fertilized egg "sits" in the thick vascular wall of the uterus.
-
One of the obvious signs of pregnancy is the absence of menstruation on time. Depending on the length of a woman's menstrual cycle, menstruation occurs two weeks after ovulation. In some women, menstruation may be less pronounced during pregnancy, but these cases are very rare.
-
Strange metallic or sour taste in the mouth. It is difficult to describe, but it can be obvious and difficult to get rid of. Toothbrushes and mouthwashes can hardly hide this taste.
-
General back pain, usually unnoticeable. Headaches are another symptom of pregnancy and are thought to be related to the effects of pregnancy hormones.
-
Sharp and strong taste. Odors that you don't usually notice can cause nausea and dizziness. The smell of raw meat, especially chicken and beef, can be emitted. Even odors from cooking that don't bother you can be unbearable for you.
-
You may usually have a hatred for the food and drink you like. Coffee, alcohol, fried or fatty foods can make you physically weak. If you smoke, you may have a real hatred for cigarette smoke, even if you don't smoke.
-
You may want to eat foods that are not normally eaten. Vinegar products, such as pickles or snacks, may suddenly become appealing to you. You may also be attracted to salty foods.
-
You may begin to feel heaviness in your abdomen, relaxation, and flatulence. You may think you ate a lot of salty foods and promise yourself less. However, the cause of flatulence does not depend on your diet.
-
You may feel so overwhelmed that you think you can't spend the day. If you have other children who take care of you and require your time and energy, the situation may get worse.
-
If you have measured your basal body temperature to detect ovulation, you may have noticed an increase in temperature for about 18 days. Such a temporary rise in temperature during ovulation is normal. If the fertilized egg is not implanted, the temperature will return to normal.
Emotional changes
-
Some women say that something has changed and they feel differently. Others can tell exactly when the embryo is implanted in the wall of the uterus. This usually happens 8-10 days after ovulation.
-
You may experience crying moods or mood swings. Sometimes you may feel depressed and wonder what happened to your "composure."
-
Most women wait for their period to end and then take a pregnancy test. Others start acting immediately without waiting. If the test is performed before the level of pregnancy hormones is detected in the urine, the test result may be false negative. However, it is not possible to get a false positive test.
-
As the pregnancy progresses, your body will change and develop appropriate symptoms. Some symptoms are obvious, while others are barely noticeable. Remember that every pregnancy is unique. Even if you have been pregnant before, something completely different may happen this time.
