The most reliable way to determine pregnancy is a hCG test and a visit to a gynecologist. But many other signs are known that indicate the presence of pregnancy even before it is officially established.
When pregnancy is expected for a long time and with impatience, a woman is inclined to listen to any changes in her condition. Even in a very short period of time, such changes can be noticeable - in the first or second week, slight dizziness and nausea or vomiting occur. Women experience pregnancy in different ways. One can feel changes in the body as early as a week after fertilization, the other realizes that she is pregnant only after she pays attention to the delay in the menstrual cycle. A pregnancy test or a doctor's consultation can clarify the situation.
Signs of pregnancy
- The most famous sign of pregnancy is delayed menstruation. However, this method can be considered reliable only for women with a regular menstrual cycle.
- Changes in tastes - due to a lack of any substances in the body, a pregnant woman may develop a craving for foods that she previously treated with coolness. It can be something inedible - chalk and so on. There are cases when women chewed paper.
- Due to hormonal changes, the breast may swell, and unusual painful sensations appear. The mother's breast prepares to feed the baby from the very first days of pregnancy.
- Frequent urination. This is due to the enlargement of the uterus, which puts pressure on the bladder and causes frequent urge.
- Fast fatiguability. With the onset of pregnancy, a woman may feel frequent fatigue, drowsiness, her memory deteriorates and her attention decreases. This all refers to hormonal changes in the body.
If a woman notes one or even several of the listed signs, this does not mean that she is pregnant. But this is a reason to be wary and try to visit a gynecologist as soon as possible.
