Pregnancy symptoms
Pregnancy Symptoms
Pregnancy symptoms are the various physical or emotional changes that can often occur during pregnancy. These symptoms may vary widely from person to person, and also from pregnancy to pregnancy in the same individual. Some women may experience many symptoms, while others may have few or none at all.
Early Symptoms[edit | edit source]
The earliest symptoms of pregnancy can appear in the first few weeks after conception. These can include:
- Missed period: This is often the first noticeable sign of pregnancy. However, some women may experience spotting or light bleeding, which can be mistaken for a light period.
- Nausea and vomiting: Often referred to as "morning sickness," this symptom can occur at any time of day and can begin as early as three weeks after conception.
- Breast changes: Breasts may become tender, swollen, or feel heavier or fuller. The areolas may also darken.
- Fatigue: Many women feel tired or fatigued early in pregnancy due to hormonal changes.
Later Symptoms[edit | edit source]
As pregnancy progresses, other symptoms can develop. These can include:
- Weight gain: Most women gain weight during pregnancy, although the amount can vary.
- Changes in appetite: Some women may experience food cravings or aversions.
- Mood swings: Hormonal changes can cause emotional ups and downs.
- Physical changes: As the pregnancy progresses, women may experience changes such as a growing belly, darkening of the skin (melasma), and stretch marks.
Diagnosis[edit | edit source]
Pregnancy is typically confirmed with a pregnancy test, which detects the presence of the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in the urine or blood. A medical examination can also confirm pregnancy.
