Many women, who want to conceive, wonder that what will be the earliest sign of pregnancy that they would notice soon after conceiving. Few women think it confusing as experiences and opinions related to earliest pregnancy symptoms are different. There is another group of women who thinks that missed period is declaration of their pregnancy. Doctors, however, contradict their assumption. Menstrual periods can be missed because of exhaustion, stress or change in medication. Doctors believe that expecting moms must rely on other signs of pregnancy instead of waiting for only missed periods. Further the periods are expected after couple of days of conceiving. The body however starts to give signals just after few days of fertilization. The following reading will enable you to detect pregnancy even before missing the periods

Signs of Pregnancy

Pregnancy causes a long chain of reactions as the result of steep hormonal changes in the body. These reactions include both physical and mental changes. Read through the following passages to see what possible symptoms of pregnancy you can experience in the first few days of pregnancy.

Depression and Mood Swings: If you find yourself crying for no reason or getting into war with your partner; then it is better to blame the hormonal changes instead of spouse. Expecting moms normally feel depressed because of increased level of estrogen.

Morning Sickness or Nausea: One of the sure sign of pregnancy is nausea and rushing to the rest room for vomiting. This vomiting is different from the general queasy feeling so it is a sure sign of pregnancy.

Vaginal Spotting or Light Bleeding: When the fertilized egg travels towards the uterus the next step is its implantation to the wall of the uterus. This implantation results in slight spotting or vaginal bleeding. This is the first sign of pregnancy. The color of this bleeding is different from regular bleeding and is light pink in color. It is harmless. However if there is heavy bleeding it must be discussed with the doctor. As it can be a warning sign of miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy

Flatulence or Gas: Pregnancy results in slowing down the digestive system. This results in different symptoms of indigestion like constipation, nausea and gas.

Fatigue or Tiredness: The level of tiredness or exhaustion reaches extremes in first months of pregnancy. In first few months of pregnancy, the hormones play havoc in the body. Tiredness is the result of these hormonal changes. Further women start to eat comparatively less, which leave them extremely weak and tired.

Coping With Morning Sickness – One of the Early Signs of Pregnancy

If you are pregnant or thinking about getting pregnant, you probably want to know how to avoid or at least cope with morning sickness. Most women experience at least some form of morning sickness, and it can be a devastating symptom that puts a damper on early pregnancy. There are really no sure-fire cures for this sign of pregnancy, but there are definitely ways to cope with it and lessen its impact on your life.

Possibly because of the hormones coursing through a woman’s body during pregnancy, she can get queasy and nauseated and even vomit. This so-called morning sickness can happen at any time, day or night. Some women only experience it in the morning, but some deal with it all day long. Some women experience this in the early stages of pregnancy, but some have it for nearly their whole pregnancy.

One way to cope with nausea is to make sure you are eating every hour or so. Once the stomach is empty, nausea can follow. Even if you eat a handful of almonds or a cracker, eat something every couple of hours. Some women find that if they eat a cracker before getting out of bed, they can avoid the worst of the nausea.

Another way to deal with the sickness is to eat what feels comfortable to you. Fruit, especially apples and lemons, can lessen nausea. Some women say that a bit of ginger helps as well. Heavy meals full of sugar and fat can cause sickness, so avoid such meals if you can. Sometimes bland foods, such as potatoes and pasta can help with the nausea. Your body will know what it needs, so try to listen to signals from your body. Don’t worry too much about getting the right vitamins and minerals, just try and eat what you can.

Accupressure is another well-known way to deal with the nausea caused by pregnancy. Drugstores and pharmacies sell wristbands that target points on the wrist that help with nausea. Wearing these wristbands during the day can help to ease symptoms of sickness. Some other remedies include regular exercise, adding in more vitamin B6 to your diet (found in bananas, bell peppers, spinach, and salmon). Keeping a food diary can help you pinpoint which foods are helping with your sickness and which ones are making things worse.

Morning sickness is a difficult symptom of pregnancy to deal with. Try some of the above remedies and find out what works for you. If you experience severe nausea that greatly interferes with your life, consult with a healthcare professional. And remember that this is a stage of pregnancy that will eventually pass.
