Early Pregnancy Symptoms – The Top Signs Before You Miss A Period

#1 Watch out for Those Early Symptoms

You don't have to miss a period to be find out you're pregnant. There are many other things that may alert you.

#2 Headaches

Headaches: blood pressure levels change and that fluctuation can cause headaches.

Nausea: it can begin as soon as three weeks after conception. It is due to the rise in levels of progesterone and estrogen.

Spotting: it is also known as implantation bleeding. It can happen after the eggs are fertilized, between 6 and 12 days.

#3 Cramping

Cramping: similar to period cramps, but definitley not the same.

Low appetite: women who experience nausea and vomiting have a reduced appetite.

Milky white discharge: if it doesn't itch or burn, it's normal. It happens because there is an increased growth of cells because the wallsof the vagina are thickening. It may happen occasionally through the whole pregnancy.

#4 Frequent Urination

Frequent urination: the uterus puts pressure on the bladder, leaving less space for urine.

Tender breasts:you may feel a tickly when you touch them, or swelling. Your mammary glands are preparing to feed the baby.

Areolas turning darker: just like the tenderness, your nipples are getting ready to feed. They may get bigger, or darker.

#5 Aversion Towards Smells

Aversion towards smells: sometimes, even smells you used to like can make you sick.

Cravings: if you don't feel sick, you may be hungrier than usual. And you may crave something specific, you may even wake up in the middle of the night craving something in particular.

Tiredness:the rise in progesterone can cause tiredeness. You should rest properly.

#6 Mood Swings

Mood swings: pregnancy mood swings are similar to PMS swings.

Husband aversion: hormonal changes can make you want to be alone, even if you love your husband. You may be disgusted by his perfume, or just want to be left on your own.

Constipation: it doesn't always happen, but it could be a sign too.
