Mothers all know that usually before pregnancy, they can't feel the new life growing, but some changes in the body can help you self-test. Of course, the symptoms of early pregnancy vary from person to person. Let's learn about the 8 signs of pregnancy.
1. Changes in appetite
Many girls experience changes in appetite when their period is delayed for one or two weeks. For example, they may suddenly stop liking the food they usually enjoy and instead start liking food they used to hate. They may also dislike food they found delicious after eating it once. This picky change in appetite may be a sign of pregnancy.
2. Delayed menstruation
If a girl's menstrual cycle has always been relatively stable and regular, but her period hasn't come after the normal time, it is possible that she is pregnant. Girls can use an early pregnancy test kit to test after a delay of 7 days. If they are pregnant, the test kit should show a positive result. Of course, there is also a possibility of inaccurate results, so they can test again after 7 days or go to the hospital for confirmation.
3. Nausea
This symptom may appear in the first week of pregnancy. Many women experience morning sickness when they drink coffee or eat breakfast on an empty stomach in the morning. Some pregnant women feel nauseous in the afternoon or evening, while others feel nauseous all day.
4. Dizziness
Dizziness is a symptom that can make pregnant women feel helpless. Whether it's climbing stairs, standing up after sitting for a long time, or standing and selling at a retail store, you may feel dizzy or even faint because the expanding uterus compresses the leg blood vessels.
5. Increased body temperature
If you find that your body temperature is slightly higher than usual and this phenomenon lasts for two weeks, it may be due to pregnancy and the changes your body is undergoing.
6. Fatigue
In the early stages of pregnancy, you may find yourself going to bed earlier, but it becomes even harder to get up in the morning. If you have work to do, you may feel the need to find a place to lie down and rest around noon. Physical activity becomes more draining, such as simple activities like shopping.
7. Frequent urination
After becoming pregnant, you will "visit" the restroom more frequently. Your family or friends will tell you that you are going to the restroom more often than before. The reason for this is that the expanding uterus puts pressure on the bladder. At the same time, pregnancy also causes the kidneys and bladder to produce more fluid.
8. Breast changes
If your breasts become larger after a delayed period and become firmer, or if you feel pain, itching, and other sensations, and some girls' nipples and areolas become darker and more prominent, all of these can be considered signs before pregnancy.
