Every woman’s pregnancy symptoms are different and even vary from pregnancy to pregnancy. The best way to be sure that you are pregnant is to take a pregnancy test. Always contact your OBGYN or physician for more insight into your reproductive health. The most common signs of pregnancy are:
- Missed period
- Tender, swollen breasts
- Nausea with or without vomiting
- Increased urination
- Fatigue or frequent sleepiness
Other symptoms are:
- Mood swings
- Headaches
- Backaches
- Darkening of nipple areas
- Bloating
- Food aversions or cravings
- Light spotting
You can start to feel any of these symptoms as early as the week of conception.
Q: If I’m not pregnant, then why haven’t I had my period?
A: Other possible reasons why you could have missed your period are hormonal shifts, a change in hormonal birth control, tension or stress, excessive weight gain or loss, various illnesses, a job change, an abusive relationship, breastfeeding, etc. Don’t hesitate to reach out to your physician or OBGYN if you suspect a major change in your cycle.
