15 Signs You May Be Pregnant

Have you been on your honeymoon? Done romancing enough there? Are there chances of you being pregnant? Could you be one?

Yes, of course! The easiest way to find that out is using the pregnancy kit. This is also true that it might not be 100 percent reliable, but you can just try the thing out just to get rid of your probability thought from your mind.

It differs from one woman to the other that ow they find out the symptoms. Some women just miss their period, others will have one or two or more of the random symptoms, and the rest may feel all of them together. It is just a mere random process of letting the pregnant woman find out what’s cooking up in her tummy oven.

The process of ovulation and also the egg developing is quite time-consuming. All of these alters the hormone levels and the symptoms start showing once the body also starts responding to and reacting to them. This might be a little hard to understand by few, but eventually, it all becomes way too apparent.

The symptoms are not necessarily reliable as sometimes they just might be a hormonal imbalance. The best thing to do is to go for a hospital pregnancy test.

The general 15 signs and symptoms are as follows:

Menstrual period not taking place

This is one of the most obvious signs of pregnancy. But periods can be missed for several reasons too like general hormonal imbalance or irregularity in that, stress, sickness, weight, contraceptives, etc. But if you never miss your cycle, then it might be a strong sign.

Mood swings

If you crying for no good reason, or end up laughing for nothing, then that’s mood swings going on, and yes, of course, you might be pregnant. The altering hormonal levels are what caused this to you.

Tender breasts

Breasts get tender and swollen when you are pregnant. They make you feel them be heavy and sore at the same time. The specific changes would be breasts being bigger or smaller than usual, sore, then areolar sight darkens, nipples being more tender. These are all very common signs of being pregnant. Tenderness might arrive a bit early, confusing you out. But, you know how to find that out.

Feeling dizzy

Feeling all too dizzy, drowsy and lightheaded is another symptom. These take place when the blood sugar level or the blood pressure level falls.

Exhaustion

Feeling fatigued is apparent when so many different things are going on in your body. If you feel so and are always ready to go for a small nap, then you might be pregnant as this is taking place due to increasing levels of progesterone, which makes people fall asleep. This particular hormone will also cause you to have low blood sugar levels, low blood pressure, and increased blood production. All of these will apparently make you feel tired.

A headache

Increase in blood circulation level causes a headache. Pregnant women usually feel this at the beginning of pregnancy.

Increases basal body temperature

This is something which is measured orally. Your body temperature will rise right after ovulation and will be fixed until your period. This not decreasing for more than two weeks and your periods getting missed is what shows that you might be pregnant.

Constipation

Increase in the hormone progesterone decreases the speed of food passing through the intestines, which in turn, causes constipation.

High sensitivity to smells and tastes

Only if you are pregnant, you will be more concentrated on everything that you smell or you eat. This stimulates issues like nausea and vomiting and that is why you get to notice more than usual.

Sudden Food Cravings

Sudden craving for random foods is something very normal if you are pregnant. This happens due to hormonal changes in the body, as they are altering in an unpredictable way.

Nausea and vomiting

This, according to science, is well-known as morning sickness. This is one of the most common symptoms of pregnancy. This usually begins right after two weeks of conception. 

Frequent urination

Are you rushing to the washroom very often? Are you feeling way too much pressure on your bladder? Then you might be pregnant as this is one of the early signs. This shall linger throughout the entire pregnancy even if you hate this! This is happening due to enlargement of your uterus, which is putting extra pressure on the bladder.

Bloating

General bloating is what takes place while being pregnant. Your pants might fit the same way anymore!

Cramping

Contraction of the uterus after implantation is possible, and cramping is obvious during these as does during the menstrual cycle.

Implantation Bleeding

This takes place a bit earlier before period. This takes place when the fertilized egg gets attached to the walls of the fallopian tube, approximately after 15 days of fertilization. This symptom is not a long lasting one.

So, are you pregnant? If yes, then CONGRATULATIONS!

Now, what to do?

Firstly, go to the hospital and make sure to do a proper pregnancy test.

But in the meantime, you should not forget to take extremely good care of yourself. This is a very important time for you and your baby and you must stay very careful. Give up any unhealthy habits that you may have, like drinking alcohol or smoking. Also, make sure to eat healthily and take proper rest. And though it might be a little painful, do enjoy your pregnancy to the fullest.

That’s all I had to say if you have t find out whether you are pregnant or not. Pregnancy, and the arrival of a child, all of these are blessings, and it is your utmost responsibility to be careful with both of your and your child’s health. Do not jump too high and do random activity stuff. Do not eat what you should not be eating at this time of your life. And it is also okay if you are still not pregnant. Stay safe and take care! Happy Pregnancy!
