Executive Summary By Brenda Williams

Of course, the most accurate sign of pregnancy is a missed period. Often, after a period has been missed a pregnancy test will read accurately. As motherly as it sounds, food cravings can often be a sign of pregnancy. From popcorn to chocolate, these cravings may come at unnatural times and be a sure sign of early pregnancy. Tender or sore breasts are another sign of early pregnancy. With the hormone fluctuations that occur within the body, this can be a variable sign of pregnancy. Some women report that breasts feel heavier, sore, or even larger or engorged with the preparations that occur to accommodate the changes within the body. Darkening of the areolas may occur. Hormone fluctuations within the body can create these imbalances which cerate the darkening of the areolas. Sometimes in early pregnancy, an act as simple as a caress or wearing an uncomfortable bra can be a terrible experience. Not to worry, this pain usually subsides as the body adjusts to the pregnancy.

The increased levels of HCG within the body can have varying effects on each woman. For most, these increased HCG levels create the need for frequent urination.

Your body is working overtime to prepare for the pregnancy and the birth of the baby and with these increased workloads come fatigue. Morning sickness doesn’t just occur in the morning. An increase in post nasal drip or a nose that will not stop running is one of the signs of pregnancy as the nose is not exempt from the discharge which is increased through the body.

An increase in cervical discharge is an early indicator of pregnancy.

The Early Signs Of Pregnancy

Executive Summary By Pauline Go

Signs of pregnancy differ from women to women. Some women may experience early signs of pregnancy within days of conceiving while other might experience the signs much later. The most common early sign of pregnancy is missing the menstrual period. Implantation bleeding is generally pink in color and it is not bleeding per se. Some women complain of frequent urination and this occurs even before they miss their periods. Many women also check their body temperature to determine whether they are pregnant. An increase in body temperature is an early sign of pregnancy.

If you experience one or all of the sign listed above, it is time to do a pregnancy test. Even if your home pregnancy test is negative and you are still having the early signs of pregnancy, make sure you visit a gynecologist to be on the safer side.
