Tenderness in the breasts
This is a symptom that appears already in the first days of pregnancy. It is one of the first parts of the female body that is prepared for its future function, that of feeding the baby. Therefore, they will increase in size and become considerably more sensitive due, firstly, to the hormonal changes that are taking place and, secondly, to the accumulation of fat.
Tiredness and fatigue
If from one day to the next you start to feel more tired than usual during the day, you may be pregnant. It is a sign of presumption of pregnancy, caused by the frenzy that is taking place inside you. The maternal body no longer only has to take care of the woman: there is a new life that must be nurtured and developed.
Nausea and vomiting
They are the most “popular” symptoms. They usually occur in the morning, although they can appear throughout the day. Some women suffer them within a few days of their pregnancy, since the implantation of the embryo in the uterus gives rise to hormonal changes, the main causes of nausea.
Absence of the period or amenorrhea
It is a clear and very revealing symptom, the one that leads us to think in only one direction: pregnancy. Especially if the woman has regular menstrual cycles. In case of irregular cycles, the delay or lack is more difficult to detect quickly.
Humor changes
It happens the same as in menstruation: the hormonal revolution that takes place in the mother‘s body will affect her emotions, in such a way that she can go from euphoria to absolute sadness or excessive irritability.
Development of the sense of smell
It is possible that the development of gestation causes an increase in the sensitivity of her smell in the future mother. Suddenly, the smells are perceived more intensely, generating rejection by some of them.
Upset stomach or heartburn
The digestive system also notices that something new is happening and can react in various ways. Some women feel their stomach churning and food makes them sick; others suffer from sudden and somewhat bothersome heartburn. This is mainly due to the enlargement of the uterus.
Premenstrual pain
As you have seen, there are some symptoms that are very similar to those experienced by any woman before and during menstruation. This is one of them: during the first weeks of pregnancy you can have pain in the lower abdomen very similar to that of your period.
Variations in appetite
Some women experience moments of uncontrolled hunger mixed with others of lack of appetite. Also, a sudden rejection of some flavors may arise.
A little acne
The intense traffic of hormones that circulate through the female body in the first moments of pregnancy can cause more fat to accumulate on the skin and, therefore, the typical marks of adolescence to reappear in some areas of the body.
