Very often, a woman knows exactly about the onset of an “interesting situation” even before the test shows two stripes. She is prompted by intuition and changes in the body that occur in the first days of pregnancy. What signs do most future mothers notice in themselves?
Bloody issues
Slight bleeding, a few brown drops are very often perceived as early menstruation. But, in fact, after seven to twelve days, the embryo sits on the wall of the uterus, and this process may be accompanied by bloody discharge. The most active discharge may begin a little later, when the ovum is implanted in the uterine wall. They are creamy, yellowish or pink in color.
Elevated basal temperature, the appearance of implantation retraction
If you keep a calendar of basal temperature, an early sign of pregnancy may be the appearance of a depression in the graph, the so-called implantation retraction, when in the second phase one day the temperature drops sharply, and the next day becomes the same.
If the basal temperature holds above 37 degrees, then this also indicates a developing pregnancy. But this is not for long, after a few weeks, the placenta will begin to function, and the temperature will drop.
Malaise
In the first days of pregnancy, a woman may have a feeling that she has caught some kind of virus. The temperature rises, fatigue appears , often the throat or runny nose bother. This will pass after the first trimester. The main thing is not to use potent drugs, but to stop using traditional medicine.
Chest pain
The first feelings of pregnancy are often associated precisely with breast swelling, soreness and hypersensitivity. Even slight touches cause discomfort.
Another common symptom is that the skin around the nipples is getting dark.
Heaviness in the pelvic area, tingling in the uterus
The blood flow to the pelvic area increases sharply in the first days of pregnancy, the uterus also begins to grow slowly, so there is a feeling of fullness and tingling.
Drowsiness, fatigue, irritability
The future mother may fall into a state of apathy, drowsiness, begin to quickly get tired, annoyed over nothing. The reason for this is the activation of progesterone production. But after 10 weeks, when the body will produce more estrogen, this condition will go away by itself.
Nausea, aversion to odors, increased salivation
These are classic symptoms that occur in the first days of pregnancy in half of the women. Vomiting, decreased appetite, sensitivity to odors, changes in taste - these are all manifestations of early toxicosis. Sudden weight loss begins - up to several kilograms per week. This is a natural reaction of the body, which seeks to remove toxins and cleanse itself. As a rule, by 16-17 weeks the torment ceases, and mom will again be able to enjoy her favorite dishes.
Headaches, migraines
Changes in hormonal levels can lead to frequent and severe headaches. But by the end of the first trimester, they go away with toxicosis.
Pressure reduction
This is a very common sign of the onset of pregnancy. Especially acute condition worsens if a woman stands for a long time, or simply is in a hot room. Because of this, weakness, dizziness, nausea, and even fainting may occur. If the future mother had hypotension before pregnancy, then it is especially important for her to start observing the rest regimen: sleep at least nine hours at night and several hours in the afternoon.
Menstruation delay
That is how most women determine that they have become pregnant. Four to five days after such a delay, it is advisable to buy a test and check everything. If all the previous signs are confirmed by two happy stripes - congratulations, you are pregnant!
