Falling pregnant can be a time that is quite stressful for many couples
, especially if they've been trying for a baby for some time. Whilst there are some signs of pregnancy that are obvious such as missing a period there are others that are not as obvious. So if you are trying for a baby here are the top 10 signs of pregnancy that you need to be looking out for.
1.You will miss a monthly period -for many people this is the most obvious sign of pregnancy that they will experience to start off with.
2.Some women find that they go off certain foods and drinks when they fall pregnant. Often this can be without warning and if the pregnancy has not been diagnosed yet this symptom can be easy to miss.
3.Craving food is another symptom that a lot of women experience when they fall pregnant.
4.Cramping and bleeding towards the start of the pregnancy is also quite common. This is due to the fertilised egg attaching itself to the lining of the womb. Many women also experience a light spotting around the time that their period would be due.
5.Urinating more frequently occurs when the hormone HBG is produced and is a very common symptom during pregnancy.
6.Feeling extremely tired is also very common and this tends to be worse is right at the start of a pregnancy and towards the end when the baby is due. Fatigue let this can take a lot of women by surprise and they find it hard to keep up with their regular routines.
7.The areolas may get darker. This is the area that is around the nipples and women who have previously been pregnant recognise this very quickly when it starts to happen.
8.Morning sickness is probably one of the most obvious signs of pregnancy, apart from a positive test that is. Unfortunately some women do not just feel sickness in the morning, it can last all day. Morning sickness can last from a few days after falling pregnant up until week 16 to 18 and it varies from woman to woman.
9.Changes in your sense of taste can also be a key symptom of being pregnant. One of the most common tastes that women experience when pregnant is a metallic taste in the mouth. However some women find that the taste of coffee is absolutely unbearable for them.
10.Your breasts may start to feel very tender and they can even swell. Thankfully this will lessen as the pregnancy progresses and is nothing to be worried about as it is due to a surge of hormones within the body.
These are the top 10 signs of pregnancy that all women should get to know if they are planning on falling pregnant. Obviously the best sign is a positive pregnancy test, yet many women know they are pregnant just by experiencing one or two of the signs. If you are hoping to fall pregnant you know what to watch out for.
