Most Common Symptoms of Early Pregnancy

Is your period late and you suspect or hope you might be pregnant? There are several symptoms (in addition to missed period) which might occur in early pregnancy although a pregnancy test is the best way to make sure whether you are pregnant or not.

The most common signs of early pregnancy are swollen and tender breasts and fatigue. Other symptoms which might indicate you are pregnant are abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, headaches, mood swings, raised basal body temperature, constipation and craving for certain foods which are normally not your favorites. If you miss your period and having any of mentioned symptoms you should relax or not get excited to early because none of mentioned symptoms is not unique to pregnancy. Many of them can indicate you are just about to get your period. On the other hand, you can be also pregnant and not having any of mentioned symptoms.

If you think that there is a possibility you might be pregnant you are highly recommended to buy a home pregnancy test to make sure. Home pregnancy tests are very accurate (according to the manufacturers 99% accurate) and reliable if made about one week after “being late”. If your test is positive you should make an appointment at your health care provider as soon as possible. You are also highly recommended to visit your health care provider if you suspect home pregnancy test you have used might not be accurate.
