SYMPTOMS OF EARLY PREGNANACY

The follows are the symptoms to look forward for early pregnanacy:

Most women won’t experience any noticeable early pregnancy symptoms until the fertilized egg attaches itself to the uterine wall, several days after conception. Some women don’t experience any indication of pregnancy before they miss a periods. Some of the early pregnancy symptoms you may experience are that your breast will probably become increasingly tender in a similar way to the way you feel before you have your period. You may experience a tingling sensation in the nipples. But once your body adapts to the change in your hormones the tenderness will settle down. One of the early pregnancy symptoms may be if the skin around your nipples gets darker and the small lubricating glands become more prominent with small bumps appearing, this may be a positive symptom that you have successfully conceived.

Frequent urination is also a common problem during pregnancy. This is one of the early pregnancy symptoms that starts in the first few months and then settles down after the 12th week only to come back when there is an increase in the size of the womb as this puts pressure on the bladder and causes frequent urination again.

One of the early pregnancy symptoms is normally morning sickness this may not hit you until a few weeks into conception. A lucky few escape it altogether. But, you may begin feeling nauseated and queasy as early as a couple of days following conception. This may not just occur in the morning but this early pregnancy symptoms related nausea can be a problem any time of the day, morning, noon, or night. You may also notice that your sense of taste and smell changes.

Early pregnancy symptoms can be certain food cravings and if you have these cravings in combination with the other symptoms then the chances are that you are pregnant. With these early pregnancy symptoms it can be hard to keep a balanced diet but if you try to eat balanced meals consisting of pasta, chicken, vegetable or fruit you will not get hungry so soon after your meal. Make sure to include protein and carbohydrate such as whole oats and brown rice. Other foods to start eating during your early pregnancy for your nutritional health is salmon, roasted potatoes and steamed vegetables.

With early pregnancy symptoms you might get the feeling of hunger but it can just as easily be thirst as we often mistake that hungry feeling in the stomach. Pregnant women need to drink a lot and if you don’t want to drink so much water try to ad a little fruit juice or lemon to give it a bit of flavour. When you feel those early pregnancy symptoms for junk food cravings coming on, work through them by distracting yourself with an activity or opting for something healthier like yogurt, fruits and fresh salads.
