Signs of pregnancy

In some women the signs of pregnancy are obvious, like morning sickness and nausea.
But in many cases, this symptoms don't appear until week 3 to 5 if it at all.

The hormonal changes start gradually so is not easy to detect some early signs of pregnancy.

As soon as the egg is fertilized it start traveling down the fallopian tubes until it is in the uterus and attaches itself. That moment is crucial. If the egg attaches properly the body produces the hormone that will stop the menstruation, otherwise it won't. At this stage early signs of pregnancy are difficult to find in most women.

The best thing to do is to take a pregnancy test and make sure it's positive.

The sooner the woman know, the better, so she can start taking folic acid (very recommendable to help the bone development in the baby). And also check with the doctor to make sure everything is all right.

Another early sign of pregnancy is the tiredness. Most women suffer tiredness in the first trimester because of the hormone revolution.
Breast grows a bit because of the hormones as well, another early sign of pregnancy.
Feeling tired and grumpy is also considered a popular sign of pregnancy.
Sometimes it happens that the pregnant woman has an increased appetite as an early sign of pregnancy, or the complete opposite, not being able to face certain types of food with sickness and nausea.

Another not that common early sign of pregnancy is the skin problems, produced as well because of the enormous amount of hormones.

If you have any of these early signs of pregnancy visit your doctor or use a pregnancy test to see if it's positive.
