Unique Early Signs of Pregnancy
from:Many women of childbearing age have had moments in time when they began to wonder if a little bundle of joy was on the way. In some cases, the thought occurs before a missed period and becomes a nagging thought in the back of her mind. Other times, it may be a fervent wish to be pregnant or an equally strong hope that she is not pregnant. Even before a late menstruation cycle, early signs of pregnancy can be detected if you know what to look for.
Missing a period is one of the classic early signs of pregnancy. However, interestingly enough, in some cases, a new mom to be may have a light period shortly after conception. It isn’t an indication that anything is wrong necessarily, it just throws the progression of normal symptoms off and mom may not realize she is pregnant from this event alone. If the possibility of exists, an unusual period may be reason enough to explore some other pregnancy signs and take a home test just to be sure.
One of the lesser known early signs of pregnancy is a sudden sensitivity to scents. Maybe while getting ready for work one morning, you apply your favorite perfume and immediately are hit by a wave of nausea. Maybe you normally hate the smell of gasoline, but when you fill your car’s tank, for some reason the scent isn’t as unpleasant as before. Experts attribute this sign of pregnancy as a result of high levels of estrogen in a newly pregnant woman’s body. This symptom can show up even before a missed period.
Just like scent sensitivity, food cravings and aversions can be early signs of pregnancy. Strange food combinations eaten at weird times aren’t uncommon in the beginning stages of pregnancy. Some women report suddenly developing extreme aversions for foods or specific types of food that they used to love. While this pregnancy sign can be humorous due to its unpredictable nature, it can be an early indicator of future joy.
Many times when a woman claims that she just feels pregnant, people discount the validity of the statement. Often though, she is ultimately proven to be correct. A variety of small, seemingly insignificant feelings can add up to early signs of pregnancy. No one knows how a body feels better than the person who resides in it. A little nausea, a bloated feeling, and tender breasts may not sound like much at first, but the woman who is experiencing it may be on the right track to confirming a pregnancy.
