How to tell if I am pregnant?
Pregnancy is a topic that every woman is very concerned about, but how do you know if you are pregnant? The following will introduce you to common pregnancy symptoms from many aspects to help you understand the changes in your body.
Menstrual cycle changes
After pregnancy, the endometrium changes, causing changes in a woman\’s menstrual cycle. If your period is late and other factors (such as stress) have been ruled out, pregnancy may be the cause. If you are pregnant, your menstrual cycle will stop and you may have light vaginal bleeding called implantation bleeding for about 2 weeks after conception. In addition, in the early stages of pregnancy, some symptoms similar to menstrual cramps may occur, such as dysmenorrhea, bloating, etc.
Breast and chest changes
In early pregnancy, eggs released from the ovaries typically take up residence and develop in the lining of the uterus after successful fertilization. As pregnancy progresses, the breasts and chest also change to a great extent. Breast tenderness and nipple sensitivity are common early pregnancy symptoms, and these changes often begin early in pregnancy. In addition, the color of the nipples and areolas may also change, becoming darker or more obvious, which is also a sign of early pregnancy.
Emotional and physical fatigue
Pregnancy can bring intense mood swings, including anxiety, excitement, or sadness, due to changes in hormone levels in the body. In addition, some women may experience symptoms of physical fatigue and listlessness in the early stages of pregnancy, which may occur at any time or last throughout the day. This is due to the production of hormones such as pregnancy ketones in the body.
Other symptoms
In addition to the above three aspects, there may also be other signs of pregnancy, such as indigestion, changes in appetite, aversion to certain foods, polyuria, and abdominal pain. Not all pregnant women have these symptoms. Additionally, symptoms such as uterine contractions and stomach cramps may occur, usually later in pregnancy.
