Are you wondering if you might be pregnant? Some women don’t suspect they are pregnant until they miss their period
Even when it’s too early for a pregnancy test to detect a pregnancy, there are other telltale symptoms that you are pregnant. Here are simple ways to detect if you are pregnant without doing test but remember that body differs so symptoms in every woman may differ.
Frequent urination: You might think this comes later, when the baby presses on your bladder, but frequent peeing sometimes starts early. Not only can the swelling uterus put pressure on your bladder, but the extra blood flow to the kidneys (which begins right away) also causes them to produce more urine.
Bloating,cramps and backache: Many women mistake these common early signs of pregnancy for PMS symptoms, but actually they’re caused by hormonal changes and the growth of the uterus
Implantation bleeding: A fertilized egg implants itself on the uterine wall about eight to 10 days after ovulation. Implantation can cause light bleeding or spotting. Implantation bleeding can occur around the time when you expect a menstrual cycle, so you may mistake implantation bleeding for your period. Implantation bleeding doesn’t last as long as a menstrual cycle, and it’s usually lighter than a normal period. Implantation can cause early pregnancy symptoms such as lower abdominal pain that mimics menstrual cramps, or a higher basal body temperature. Implantation bleeding stops on its own. If you are concerned about bleeding, see your doctor.
Dizziness and headache: Early pregnancy can also trigger mild headaches or dizziness because of hormonal changes and fluid volume changes. These symptoms occur because of changes in blood volume and blood circulation. Fainting is rare, but it can happen. To combat headaches and dizziness, keep fluids in your body and drink at least eight glasses of water a day.
Tender, swollen breasts: Higher hormone levels can also cause changes in breasts and sensitivity soon after conception. This is because of an increase in blood flow to your breast tissue. Your breasts may become swollen and sore, and you may have nipple sensitivity. Wearing a bra can be uncomfortable, but these symptoms usually disappear within a few weeks as your body adjusts to hormonal changes.
Constipation or gas: Increased hormone levels not only affect your breasts and nipples, but they can also affect your digestion tract. Digestion can slow down, resulting in fewer bowel movements or constipation. Constipation increases the risk of abdominal bloating, cramping, and gas. Increasing your water and fiber intake and limiting carbonated drinks and gas-producing foods (broccoli, beans etc.) can ease constipation and flatulence.
Usual tastes, smells and cravings: Early pregnancy can also heighten your senses. You may become overly sensitive or have a low tolerance for certain tastes. Some of the foods and drinks you love may no longer appeal to your taste buds, or they may taste funny. Some women complain of a metallic taste in their mouths. You may also crave new foods. For example, you may have been a coffee drinker, but now you can’t tolerate the flavor and suddenly prefer tea. You can blame hormonal changes on strange tastes, smells, and cravings.
