Major Pregnancy Symptoms

Are you experiencing signs that may indicate pregnancy, but are not sure? Take a look at these major pregnancy symptoms that show up about the time you have missed a period or a week or two later. Abdominal Bloating Pregnancy is majorly about hormonal changes that can make you feel bloated. Feeling bloated is another experience that women go through when they are about to have their period. One of the signs of abdominal bloating is the feeling of snugness at the waistline. Increased Sensitivity to Odours If you are newly pregnant, it won't be uncommon to flinch at the smell of a cup of coffee. This may be a side-effect of increasing amounts of estrogen in the body. You may also feel that certain foods that you liked earlier make you repulsive to their sight or even thought. Vomiting or Nausea Vomiting is one of the biggest clues to pregnancy, though some women don't experience morning sickness until a month of conception has gone by. Pregnancy-related nausea or vomiting may pose a problem at any time in the morning, day or night. About half of women with nausea may be relieved by the time the second trimester has begun; whereas for others, it make take another month or more for the uneasiness to ease. Frequent Urination As soon as you become pregnant, the hormonal changes in the body catalyse several events that raise the rate of blood flow through the kidneys. This gets the bladder to fill more quickly than usual, thereby increasing the need to urinate. A pregnant woman may experience frequent urination when she is as early as 6 weeks into pregnancy. Fatigue Rapidly increasing levels of hormones can cause a woman to feel exhausted or fatigued. Although, no one really knows the reason why women experience fatigue, it could be because of frequent urination at night and morning sickness. The feeling of tiredness and fatigue is likely to fall back as soon as you enter the second trimester, though it depends on your body. Fatigue, is usually, seen to relapse when you are carrying more weight. Depression may also contribute to sleeplessness and fatigue. If you have been sad about the daily responsibilities, consult a healthcare professional. Swollen and Tender Breasts Swollen and tender breasts are one of the earliest signs of pregnancy, which is caused by the rising levels of hormones. The discomfort is likely to diminish by the end of the first trimester.
