The fluctuation in your hormones during pregnancy can cause your breasts to become extra tender and lead to sore breasts.
Your body produces certain hormones during pregnancy that stop ovulation and stop periods until after the baby is born.
Have you been feeling extremely tired? Pregnancy leads to the production of progesterone which can make you feel tired in early pregnancy. However, it may get better in the second trimester.
Since the blood supply increases during pregnancy, you tend to pee more often than usual. This symptom may occur even before you miss a period.
Despite its name, this symptom may occur at any time of the day. Most pregnant women feel nauseous but it is not necessary that you may experience it.
Implantation bleeding occurs 6-12 days after conception when the fertilised egg attaches to the uterus wall and leads to spotting, and in some cases, cramping.
Since your hormones are out of whack during pregnancy, it is normal to have extreme mood swings. Plus, the combo of headaches, constipation, breast pain, and bloating doesn't really help!
Increased blood supply can trigger headaches. It can exacerbate if you are not drinking enough fluids or you are anemic.
These signs don't necessarily mean that you are pregnant. It could also be a sign of premenstrual syndrome. So, the best way to be sure is to take a pregnancy test and consult your OB-GYN.
