First Pregnancy Sign Symptoms: are you Aware That you are Pregnant?

One of the first pregnancy sign symptoms is a missed menstrual period. Just in case you do not remember when you last menstruated, then look out for other pointers you may be pregnant. There are certain symptoms that may proclaim pregnancy even before you miss a period, and these are related to pregnancy hormones released into the body.

Indicators that you may be Pregnant

An early first pregnancy sign symptom is physical, a change in the way your breasts feel. Your breast may feel tender, may tingle, be sore, or else may feel fuller and heavier. As a result of the increased production of the hormones estrogen and progesterone, your breasts begin to grow and change in preparation for producing milk. The most dramatic change occurs when you’re pregnant for the first time. You may notice tiny spots around your nipples called tubercles. Watch out for them.

The first pregnancy sign syndrome is that dip in the energy levels throughout the period of being pregnant known as fatigue. During the early stage, your body is working hard by pumping out hormones and producing more blood to carry nutrients to the fetus. Your heart pumps harder and faster to accommodate the increased flow; combined with this are larger amounts of progesterone, which induce you to feel sleepy more often. Progesterone is a natural central nervous system depressant, and the feeling of being sapped of energy may persist well into the confident months. Or by the time you’re well settled into pregnancy.

Implantation bleeding is another sign of first pregnancy sign symptom and usually occurs within the first two weeks of fertilization. It happens when the fertilized egg attaches itself into the lining of the uterus and induces the body to shed a little blood, spottier and lighter than menstrual blood, and which is accompanied by cramping similar to menstrual cramps, as the uterus begins to enlarge.

Implantation bleeding together with nausea or morning sickness can account for a somewhat messy first pregnancy symptom//s. Morning sickness, occurring at any time of the day, appears to stem from the rapidly rising levels of estrogen produced by the placenta and the fetus. These hormones cause the stomach to empty somewhat more slowly, and are combined with the pregnant woman’s heightened sense of smell. So, a variety of odors — such as foods, the smell of cooking, coffee, perfume or cigarette smoke — can trigger nausea and cause you to vomit.

Frequent urination, headaches, constipation, mood swings, dizziness and a raised basal temperature are contributory indicators. More trips to the bathroom are triggered by the enlarging uterus pushing on to your bladder. Headaches are the result of increased blood circulation caused by pregnancy hormones. Constipation occurs because food is passing more slowly through the gastrointestinal tract, which causes digestion to slow down. Hormone related are the changes in the mood of the pregnant woman in the first trimester of pregnancy, which may range from elation to deep gloom. Finally, there is the matter of the raised basal body temperature, which is the oral temperature when you first wake up in the morning. This temperature increases slightly soon after ovulation and remains at that level until your next period, so this too is a key to a first pregnancy sign syndrome.

Together the first pregnancy symptoms may all signal you to visit the doctor even before you noticed you are missing a period.
