What Happens First During Pregnancy?

Could you be expecting a child? The pregnancy test provides confirmation of this. You could guess — or hope — that you're pregnant even before you miss a period. Learn about the early signs and symptoms of pregnancy, as well as the reasons for their occurrence.

What are signs and symptoms of pregnancy?

• Urination has increased. You could notice that you're urinating more frequently than normal. During pregnancy, the volume of blood in your body rises, leading your kidneys to process excess fluid that collects in your bladder.
• Fatigue is also one of the most common early pregnancy symptoms. Nobody knows what causes tiredness in the first trimester of pregnancy. A fast spike in progesterone levels during early pregnancy, on the other hand, may lead to weariness.
• Period was missed. If you're in your childbearing years and your monthly cycle hasn't started after a week or longer, you might be pregnant. However, if you have an irregular menstrual cycle, this symptom might be deceiving.
• Breasts that is tender and swollen. Hormonal changes early in pregnancy might make your breasts uncomfortable and aching. As your body adjusts to hormonal changes, the discomfort should subside after a few weeks.
• Nausea that may or may not be accompanied by vomiting. Morning sickness usually starts one to two months after you become pregnant and can strike at any time of day or night. Some women, on the other hand, suffer nausea earlier, while others never do. While the exact reason of nausea during pregnancy is unknown, pregnancy hormones are most likely to blame.

Note -

A lot of these signs and symptoms aren't only for pregnant women. Some of them might signal that you're likely to get ill or that your menstruation is about to begin. Similarly, you might be pregnant and not have many of these symptoms. Take a home pregnancy test or visit your health care physician if you miss a period and observe some of the aforementioned signs or symptoms. Make an appointment with your health care practitioner if your home pregnancy test is positive. The sooner you have confirmation of your pregnancy, the sooner you may start prenatal care. Start taking a daily prenatal vitamin if you're trying to get pregnant or have recently found out you're expecting. Prenatal vitamins usually include key vitamins and minerals like folic acid and iron to help your baby grow and thrive.
