Tips for testing pregnancy without pregnancy test sticks

Many female friends like to use pregnancy test sticks to determine whether they are pregnant, but are there any other ways to know whether they are pregnant?

Sensitive pregnant women

Pregnancy may make you more sensitive to everything, always smelling special smells, and developing a new love for flavors. There was once a pregnant mother who started to like the smell of gasoline after she became pregnant, especially the smell of car exhaust, and she even followed cars to smell it. You can't just follow your feelings, exhaust gas can cause great harm to the fetus.

Aviation gasoline, automotive gasoline and solvent gasoline are all very harmful to the human body. Because these power gasolines have a certain amount of tetraethyl lead added to them for shock and explosion prevention, they are also called ethyl gasoline. When ethyl gasoline burns, tetraethyl lead decomposes and releases lead, which is discharged into the atmosphere with the exhaust gas. The lead that people breathe into their bodies will accumulate in the blood, which will in turn cause harm to the human body, including the fetus in the womb of pregnant women, and can cause lead poisoning and congenital developmental malformations of the fetus. The fetus will suffer greater damage due to its insufficient resistance. Therefore, pregnant women should avoid the smell of gasoline.

Early pregnancy is like the early stages of a cold

Feeling hot all over. Feeling a little tired or weak; or feeling cold all over, drowsy, and unable to wake up in the early morning, like the early symptoms of a cold. Even if there is no plan to get pregnant, married women should always think about the possibility of pregnancy and not take medicine at will. Psychologists believe that the fetus can replicate the mother's mental state, and after birth its temperament and emotions will restore the mother's personality and emotions.

Frequent urination and a feeling of incomplete urination

Symptoms similar to a mild urinary tract infection: some frequent urination and a feeling of incomplete urination. Normally, you don’t urinate frequently, but after becoming pregnant, you may have to go to the bathroom several times when going out. However, frequent urination is not an inherent symptom of pregnancy. Mild urinary tract infection or urethral inflammation can also cause frequent urination.

Skin and breast changes

After removing makeup or washing your face, you may notice that you look pale, your eyelids are swollen, and you have obvious bags under your eyes. This is a sign that you are pregnant.

Pregnant women may also experience breast pain. This is when the breasts are preparing to feed the baby. However, these reactions are similar to those before menstruation, and sometimes it is difficult to tell whether menstruation is coming or pregnancy. If your bra feels a little tight, you should change it to a loose one; if you are still wearing tight underwear, you should also change it to soft and loose underwear.

Menopause

Amenorrhea is the earliest and most important sign of early pregnancy. For married women of childbearing age who have always had normal menstrual cycles, if their menstruation is delayed for more than 10 days, they should consider the possibility of pregnancy. If their menstruation is amenorrhea for more than 2 weeks, they need to go to the hospital to check the cause.

Early pregnancy reaction

Most women may experience dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness, increased salivation, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting after 6 weeks of pregnancy. Vomiting often occurs in the early morning or on an empty stomach. Some pregnant women particularly like to eat acidic and cold foods. The above phenomena are called early pregnancy reactions, which usually disappear on their own around 12 weeks after pregnancy. For a few people, early pregnancy reactions are more severe and last longer.

Changes in basal body temperature

Women who measure their basal body temperature can thus know the early stages of pregnancy. A woman's normal basal body temperature presents a bidirectional curve, that is, it is lower before ovulation and rises after ovulation. If there is no menstruation due, the body temperature will not drop after rising and will remain for more than 18 days, which indicates pregnancy.

Women often experience amenorrhea or delayed menstruation due to environmental changes and mental stimulation. Young women and menopausal women also often have irregular menstruation, so amenorrhea does not necessarily mean pregnancy; breastfeeding women may become pregnant even if their menstruation has not resumed; changes in appetite, nausea and vomiting may also be caused by stomach diseases; increased frequency of urination may be caused by urinary tract infection.
