10 Signs That Shows You Are Pregnant by DrMaths(m): 10:15am On Mar 22, 2015
10 Signs You Are Pregnant
You may have an inkling that
you're pregnant soon after
you've conceived, when the
fertilised egg attaches itself to
the wall of your uterus (womb).
This usually happens within
about 10 days of conception.
Or you may be unaware of any
changes for weeks, only
wondering if you're pregnant
when you miss a period.
Though you may experience
some, all, or none of these, here
are the top 10 signs of
pregnancy.

1. Prickling, tingling nipples
As pregnancy hormones increase
the blood supply to your breasts,
you may feel a tingling sensation
around your nipples. This can be
one of the earliest signs of
pregnancy, and is sometimes
noticeable within a week or so of
conception.
Once your body gets used to the
hormone surge, this sensation
will subside.

2. Spotting and cramping
It's common to have some
spotting at the time when you'd
usually have your period. You
may notice a slight pink or
brown-coloured stain in your
knickers, or when you wee, or
feel slight cramping. Experts
aren't sure why spotting in very
early pregnancy happens, but it's
thought to either be caused by
the egg implanting in your
uterus, or more likely, the
hormones that control your
periods kicking in.

3. Feeling sick
If you're lucky, you'll escape this
completely. However, morning
sickness is a common symptom
of early pregnancy. It often starts
when you're about six weeks
pregnant, though it can start as
early as four weeks. You may feel
sick and queasy, or even vomit.
Despite the name, morning
sickness can affect you at any
time of the day, or night.

4. Tender, swollen breasts
Once you are about six weeks
pregnant, your breasts may
become increasingly tender to
the touch. It’s similar to how they
feel before you have a period,
but more so.
You may notice that your breasts
are larger and swollen, with blue
veins visible just below the skin.
Tenderness tends to be most
common in the first trimester,
easing as pregnancy progresses.

5. Feeling tired
Exhausted

You may find yourself
diving for your duvet as your
body cranks up to support your
baby, right from the early stages
of pregnancy. Pregnancy
hormones in your body are to
blame, as these can make you
feel tired, upset and emotional.
Though fatigue is not a sure-fire
symptom on its own, it's a
common pregnancy symptom.
You may find that tiredness
wipes you out the most in your
first trimester and third
trimester.

6. Needing to wee frequently
From about six weeks of
pregnancy, you may notice that
you're weeing more often.
This is down to a combination of
pregnancy hormones, a larger
volume of blood in your system,
and your kidneys working extra
hard. If you feel pain or a
burning sensation when you
wee, though, you may have a
urinary tract infection (UTI).

7. Darker nipples
Skin changes are common
during pregnancy. One of the
first changes you may notice is
the circle of skin round your
nipples (areolas) getting darker.
This can happen from about
eight weeks.
You may also find that the bumps
around your nipples become
more pronounced, and your
nipples more erect. Your vulva
and vagina may change to a
deeper, purplish red, too, though
you probably won't notice this!

8. Food cravings and altered
sense of smell

Food cravings can be a sign of
pregnancy.
You may go off some foods, but
develop a craving for others. This
can happen very early for some
women, even before they've
missed a period. Some women
report a metallic taste in their
mouth, others that they can’t
stand the taste of coffee or a
food they usually like, such as
eggs.
Your sense of smell may change
as well, and you may find that
you're more sensitive to aromas
from food or cooking.

9. A missed period
If you're usually pretty regular,
and your period doesn't start on
time, you'll probably take a
pregnancy test before you notice
any other signs. A missed period
is one of the surest signs of
pregnancy.
But if your periods are usually
irregular, or you lose track of
when your next one is due, you
may not realise that your period
is late. In this case, tender
breasts, feeling queasy and
making extra trips to the loo may
be early clues that you’re
pregnant.

10. The proof: a positive home
pregnancy test

Most home pregnancy tests will
give you a reliable result if you
wait until at least the first day of
ajperiod. If a blue line
appears in the test window,
you're probably expecting.
