hi all,
i am on pill. and we are not looking for baby for one more year. recently i heard that a colleague of mine did not take proper precaution and got pregnant. i love baby but my husband is in a traveling job. he is looking for a change and will be settled in a year. but I don't want to live under fear for a year thinking everyday if i am pregnant.
please tell me what are some of the signs of pregnancy that i can look out for? and how early are they noticeable?
thank you all-
not answering your question about symptoms but it is about your fear. you can take extra care by using ovulation calculator. this calculator will show when is the chance of pregnancy greater.
you can access the tool under tools section.
ovulation calculator
here is one list of symptoms of pregnancy that i found on internet-
Missed period
Unusual or abnormal period
Just "feeling" pregnant
Nausea and Vomiting
Changes in libido
Soreness of the Breasts
Enlargement of the Breasts
Frequent Urination
Strange Cravings
Fatigue
Montgomery's Tubercules
Skin Changes
Stretch Marks
Enlarging Uterus
Movement
Colostrum from Breasts
Enlarged Abdomen
Change in uterine shape
Braxton Hicks Contractions
Palpation of the Baby
According to my knowledge MISSED PERIOD is the very first sign of pregnancy. Rest all comes very much after that.
And as eva has specified look out for ovulation. Tracking it properly will help you take precautions at the required time.
About 8-10 days after ovulation I got some bleeding with cramp. That also a signal in many woman for pregnancy. It called implantation bleeding which is a spot of pink or brown color.
I felt dizziness and an increase in appetite and these were the first few things for which I went to a doctor and was asked to get test done for pregnancy.
What are the earliest symptoms of pregnancy apart from missing periods?
