What are the symptoms of early pregnancy

Many women do not take contraceptive measures during sexual intercourse. It leads to pregnancy, but you don’t know what the symptoms of pregnancy are. Sometimes you are already pregnant but you don’t know it. In fact, early pregnancy is accompanied by many symptoms, and people can use these symptoms to judge whether they are pregnant. So what are the symptoms of early pregnancy? Today I will show you about it.

1. Obvious changes in breasts

If you have a high-intensity job and a fast-paced life, and you are already eight weeks pregnant and don’t know it, abnormal changes in your breasts can also be an important reminder for you. After eight weeks of pregnancy, the breasts will feel swollen, numb and slightly itchy. The color of the nipples will gradually darken, and thick dark brown nodules will appear around the areola.

2. The pregnancy test results are positive

An early pregnancy test paper is a long strip of test paper that can be purchased at general pharmacies and clinics. The market price is around 5 yuan. It is very popular among female friends because of its low price, practicality and high accuracy. Early pregnancy test strips can be used for self-testing after menopause. Before use, wash your hands and the cup used for testing first, then use a clean cup to hold a small amount of urine, insert the test paper into the urine at the direction of the arrow for three seconds, then pull it out and place it on the edge of the cup and wait for a while. If you are pregnant, two short purple-red lines will appear on the test paper; if you are not pregnant, only one short purple-red line will appear on the test paper.

3. Stopping of menstruation

The cessation of menstruation is the most obvious and earliest sign of pregnancy. Your menstrual period may be temporarily disrupted due to various reasons such as nutrition, diet, mood, or even sudden changes in work. However, if you and your lover have had sex recently, and your menstrual period has been delayed for ten days without any cause, this should arouse your high vigilance. At this time, you are very likely pregnant. If amenorrhea continues for more than 14 days, you should go to the hospital for testing immediately.

4. "Early pregnancy reaction"

If your menstrual period is already irregular, has stopped for several weeks, and you are pregnant without knowing it, in the sixth week of pregnancy you will experience the so-called "early pregnancy reactions" such as nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and a craving for spicy and sour food.

5. Increased urination

After 8 weeks of pregnancy, the enlarged uterus will press on the bladder, which will reflexively cause increased urination, sometimes up to several or even dozens of times an hour. The frequency of urination increases, but the amount of urine does not increase, and is accompanied by symptoms such as mild dizziness and nausea.

6. A slight increase in body temperature persists

Under normal circumstances, young women have a lower body temperature before ovulation and a higher body temperature after ovulation. If your period has been delayed for several weeks and you feel your heartbeat is slightly faster without any cause, you need to go to the pharmacy and buy a thermometer to measure your temperature. If the measurement results show that your body temperature is slightly higher than usual for 20 consecutive days and remains high, you are very likely pregnant.
