Pregnancy Symptoms
Some women get pregnancy symptoms soon after the conception of the embryo but in some it takes a little time maybe a couple of weeks. Although the signs differ depending on the body type of women but there are some cardinal signs to determine the onset of pregnancy.
Now let us review some of the early signs of gestation:
1. Amenorrhea or absence of menses is the first and foremost sign of conception. In rare cases there is bleeding every month throughout the nine months of pregnancy.
2. Some symptoms that women may experience are tenderness or swelling of breasts after 1-2 weeks of pregnancy.
3. Weariness and exhaustion after little exertion.
4. Morning sickness. Most expecting mothers experience nausea on rising but it is absent in a few lucky ones.
5. Aches and pains: Due to hormonal changes in the body. There might be backache, headache and body ache.
6. Recurrent urination after 6-8 weeks of pregnancy.
7. Darkening of areola of the nipples is one of sure signs of conception.
8.Different women crave for different food like pickles, sweets, ice cream or indigestible things like slate, chalk, charcoal etc.
The above mentioned symptoms and signs might be experienced due to problems like hormonal imbalances, fatigue, changes in dosage of contraceptive pills, depression, stress, muscular pains, food poisoning, indigestion causing nausea and vomiting, malnutrition etc.
Even if you experience these early signs and symptoms of gestation, you must get your pregnancy tested by a urine test or an obstetrician.

We’ve been trying for a second baby and this month (today) I am already 2 days late. Went to a doctor and did a home test but negative. Another doctor in town said only after two weeks from today we can test. What test would be most accurate now?

To Charlene, There is a chance, but more than likely you are ovulating. The best thing to do is keep a little pocket-sized calendar and write what cycle day you are one. The first day is the day that you start bleeding. If you notice these symptoms around the 14th day, then you are ovulating.

My second husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for the past year. It would be his first, my fourth. I had no problems getting pregnant with my first three babies. We had a positive result about 10 months ago
but about three weeks later I started my period or miscarried.
We’ve been trying to have sex during the week I ovulate but still nothing. Is there something wrong with us? We are both 29 and pretty healthy. What are we doing wrong?

I am having emotional outbursts, my breasts are sore, and I have not had a strong appetite (which is highly unusual for me). I have also overslept every day and I have felt exhausted without exerting much energy during the day. I have been dealing with a stressful work environment this month. Could this be the reason for these symptoms, or am I pregnant? Please help!

I have been looking into this alot and every site I go to tells me I probably conceived on the 15th well the 15th is said to be my most fertile day. My cycle usually starts between the 28th and 30th and is over between the 4th to the 6th. today is the 6th and I do not have any signs of a cycle. I have been praying for a child. My symptoms are nauseau throughout the day especially upon awaking, mood swings and very needy of husbands attention, tender breasts, craving foods and just have that feeling of knowing at the same time I dont want to get my hopes up do u think I am pregnant and if there is anything else u need to know to help me out feel free to ask. I need help with this I hope my prayer is being answered,
Hopeful Mother-To-Be
