Recognizing if you are pregnant will vary between women but everyone looks for the missed or delays of the monthly period. In a lot of women the signs of early pregnancy can start in the same week that they become pregnant. In some women, the early symptoms of pregnancy will not be apparent until weeks later or not at all.  You should always call your doctor when you suspect early signs of pregnancy or weight gain during pregnancy.

In about 6 to 12 days the embryo implants itself into the uterine wall. Some women will have some spotting and a little cramping when this happens.   Most women recognize the missed period as an early indication of pregnancy and if there has been sexual activity she needs to get a pregnancy test. After a women becomes pregnant she will be missing her next normal period. It is possible for some women to have some bleeding during the pregnancy but this will be very light and much shorter than her regular period.

Another symptom of pregnancy is somewhere between one and two weeks after conception the breasts will become tender and swollen. The areola of the breasts will get deeper in color.   Most women will feel low energy in the first few days after becoming pregnant. You should always contact your doctor when having any pregnancy questions.

One of the most known symptoms is the nausea that happens mostly in the morning hours although some women experience this throughout their pregnancy. Some women never have this symptom but it normally lasts anywhere between two to eight weeks. Another usual symptom is lower back aches in early pregnancy and usually continues for the rest of the time as a dull ache. Hormonal changes may cause headaches in the early stages.

Having to urinate more than usual is another sign of pregnancy and this begins about six week after the conception. Cravings for certain foods will begin and signal that the woman is pregnant. Pickles combined with ice cream are the commonly known food craving that accompanies being pregnant but the cravings a pregnant woman does have may not be these but will continue until she gives birth. The most important thing to consider is that if you think you are pregnant there are many home tests you can use but the best thing for your safety and that of your baby is a visit to your doctor..
