Young women who dream about pregnancy will be interested to know about the early signs of fertilization, which appeared even before the delay of menstruation. As a rule, these signs are not considered reliable. In some cases, ladies who have long dreamed of a child unconsciously invent such signs for themselves and find confirmation of their own pregnancy in everything. But sometimes, with these little clues, a woman knows in advance about her situation. These signs may be pronounced, or may be almost completely absent. It must be remembered that even a doctor cannot accurately determine your position in the first month of pregnancy. Signs that are considered truly indisputable - the baby's stirring and his heartbeat, palpation of the fetus - appear only in the later stages. A doctor can confirm your pregnancy with confidence only six weeks after conception.
However, there are many likely symptoms. When are the first signs of pregnancy that can be considered likely?
The most important likely sign is an increase in the blood of hCG - a hormone whose content increases dramatically when pregnancy occurs. Home tests will be able to detect this hormone no earlier than two weeks after conception. Probable signs include an increase in the uterus and a change in its consistency - the doctor can tell you all about this for the second or third week of pregnancy. From the second week, future mothers urinate more often, their breasts become rough and swollen, and the sensitivity of the nipples increases. Basal temperature rises. In addition, after 6-12 days from the day of conception, the embryo is inserted into the uterus, which can cause slight bleeding called implantation.
When do the first signs of pregnancy appear, which can be attributed to the hypothetical? In some women, toxicosis occurs from the second week of pregnancy. Toxicosis is a common, but not required. A woman becomes irritable, drowsy, fatigue increases. The expectant mother can often feel dizzy, sometimes nausea occurs. Sensitivity to smells aggravates, taste preferences change. Some women experience pain and tingling in the lower back, swelling of the arms and shoulders. Sometimes pregnant women have problems with the intestines and lower blood pressure. More reliable first signs of pregnancy: body temperature rises to 37.0 or 37.2 degrees, cramps and aching abdominal pain occur. When the first signs of pregnancy appear , called presumptive, do not make premature conclusions. Wait for a delay in your period and do a home test for HCG.
Some women feel the changes that have occurred intuitively from the first days of fertilization. They do not wait for the first signs of pregnancy to appear, but with their guts they feel the birth of a new life in themselves. However, medicine knows cases of an imaginary pregnancy, when women inspired themselves with all the alleged signs and did not believe the doctor’s testimony. The only reliable sign of pregnancy indicating your position with a probability of 99% is an ordinary home test that showed a positive result. The same test, which showed a negative result, is considered 90% true if you did it two weeks after the conception. And only a doctor can confidently confirm or refute all these assumptions. Therefore, having found the treasured two strips on your test, immediately make an appointment. The doctor will warn all possible complications, your pregnancy will go smoothly, and the long-awaited baby will be born strong and healthy.
