First signs of pregnancy

It doesn’t matter if your pregnancy was planned or if you were surprised: generally, women tend to describe a variety of signs for a pregnancy.
If you are getting pregnant there are hints for the conception. In the following paragraphs we will present you the most frequent “symptoms”:

Absence of period

One of the most obvious signs for a pregnancy is the absence of the woman’s period. If your cycle is usually regular and you are now waiting for your period you should consider making a pregnancy test.

Nausea and headaches

Already some days after the conception it might happen that you feel nauseous; by the way this mustn’t be strictly limited to the mornings. Additionally you will notice that your sense of taste changes. If women get pregnant it occurs that they cannot bear the taste of coffee, tea or specific food.
Even headaches occur more frequently during the time of pregnancy. Many women who never suffered from headaches are suddenly affected.

Fatigue by pregnancy

In the course of their pregnancy many women feel more tired and weary than usually. The reason for this tiredness is the increase of the pregnancy hormone progesterone. This hormone is necessary so that the muscles in the uterus can adapt to the growing child. Thus, the feeling of nausea is a sign of your body adapting to the changing habits in your pregnancy. Women who are pregnant should never overwork themselves as they need all their reserves for their growing baby and its blood supply.

Frequent urination in pregnancy

Due to hormonal changes pregnant women frequently feel a strong urinary urgency. Especially in the last third of the pregnancy it is the uterus which presses against the bladder. So, don’t be alarmed when your drive towards toilets increases in your pregnancy. But once you feel pain you should visit a doctor, as it might be an urinary tract infection that could also affect the kidneys. If you are suffering from such an infection it needs immediate treatment. Drinking can prevent and serves as a first aid measure- at least three litres a day.

Sensitive breasts in pregnancy

If you are planning to get pregnant you must be aware of the fact that your breasts might be extremely sensitive against touches due to the changes in the hormonal balance. The feeling is comparable with the one women experience during their period, only stronger. The pain decreases once your body has adapted to the hormonal changes of the pregnancy.
