Pregnancy Symptoms

The following symptoms indicate that you may be pregnant.

1. The most common symptom is a missed period. However, there are other signs to look out for.
2. Nausea, also known as morning sickness, can strike at any time of the day.
3. Tender, swollen breasts. Hormonal changes may make your breasts sensitive or sore.
4. Increased urination. Pregnancy increases the amount of blood in your body, causing your kidneys to process extra fluid that ends up in your bladder.
5. Fatigue. During early pregnancy, levels of the hormone progesterone soar, which can make you feel sleepy.
6. Food aversions or cravings. Certain foods may make you feel sick, or you may find you crave different foods.
7. Mood swings. Hormonal changes can trigger a roller-coaster of emotions.

If you’re experiencing one or more of these symptoms, you might be pregnant. But remember, they can also be signs of other health conditions, which is why it is vital to confirm pregnancy early with an accurate pregnancy test that is read by a medical professional at Verity PMC.
