Early Signs of Pregnancy

I was enrolled on an advanced review when I became pregnant.  The pregnancy came unexpectedly so I confused the pregnancy signs with stress and tension as a result of the review class.  But I can clearly recall what the early signs were.

Missed Period 

   I never missed my period before, but I waited until the second month before I had a pregnancy test.

Frequent Headaches and morning sickness

   Headaches were frequent and sometimes not bearable.  I was always tired and feverish. 

Drowsiness  

   Most women experience being tired and sleepy, they end up sleeping long hours during day time. In my case, I had that feeling during my second trimester.

Lower Backpains

   The pain in my lower back was disturbing.  I would even cry at night because of the pain. It was a good thing that I never took pain reliever or any other medications.

Sore breasts

   I was a size 32 but during that time I noticed that my breasts were becoming bigger by the day and they were sore, it felt as though they were stretching and expanding.

Allergic to some food and drinks that used to be my favorite

   I was a coffee addict but when I got pregnant, there was a sudden shift, I did not want to drink a single sip.  I used to love the smell of coffee but during that time, I felt dizzy whenever I smell the scent of it.  Vegetables were not a favorite but when during my early pregnancy weeks, I was always craving for vegetables.

Dizziness

   I was always dizzy.

Cramps

   There was a sensation that felt like menstrual cramps.  I mistakenly thought It was just a period but it wasn't.

Spotting

   It is often referred to as implantation bleeding.  I had spotting on my first month and thought it was a normal period.  The only difference is that it was only a day that I had it.  I also had spotting on my third month of pregnancy due to stress but I had some medications on that since I was on a high-risk pregnancy state.

Those were the common early signs of pregnancy that I experienced.  I heard of different experiences from other women.  Every pregnancy is different.  It is always advised to know your own body and your own needs.  No one knows you better but you.
