Description
Pregnancy is the golden time of life for every woman. The period in which a fetus develops inside the womb of a woman or uterus is called pregnancy. A full-term pregnancy lasts 9 months, or 40 weeks or 280 days.
Symptoms of pregnancy-1. Missing your period
If you're expecting a baby and you miss your period, it is because of your pregnancy. However, some women have an irregular menstrual cycle and might miss their periods for a month or have a delay of one or two weeks, proving the symptom to be wrong.
2. Morning sicknessThe state of feeling nauseous and an uncomfortable condition is known as morning sickness. Regardless of the name, it can happen during any time of the day. During pregnancy, morning sickness can happen as early as two weeks. A woman can have morning sickness with or without vomiting, depending completely upon the individual. It is not necessary for every woman to feel nauseous. Some might not feel it while others might feel it a lot and very often. However, morning sickness can also result from dehydration.
3. Sore and swollen breastsDue to the hormonal changes in your body during pregnancy, you can feel your breasts swollen, tender and sore. Once your body starts adjusting to the hormonal changes, this can decrease with time.
4. Frequent urinationOne of the signs of pregnancy is increased urination. Due to the increased blood in your body and an extra amount of fluid processed in your kidneys, you may find yourself urinating more frequently.
5. Tiredness (fatigue)Again, hormonal changes can result in tiredness. Mainly, the hormone progesterone plays a big role in making you feel tired. You might feel sleepiness all the time, not wanting to get out of bed, lack of energy, not being able to do anything or feel sluggish. It is a common symptom and is likely to occur in every woman.
There are some symptoms which are not common and may or may not even happen. These include-
- Implantation bleeding (spotting)
- Cravings for food/Constant hunger
- Cramps
