Recognize Pregnancy Problems

Am I pregnant? Usually, pregnant women do not really pay attention to symptoms that occur until they knew that they were late. If they do not notice their menstrual cycle or sometimes there are some women who have different menstrual cycle every month, the following symptoms may be the signs that you are pregnant.

Breast Stiff and Swollen

One of the early signs of pregnancy is the sensitive and swollen breasts that sometimes accompanied by little pain. This is caused by increased levels of hormones in the body. The pain you feel will similar like the pain when you will get a menstrual period. However this discomfort will gradually disappear after the first trimester, because the body has adjust to hormonal changes that occur.



Tired

Feeling tired and fatigued a whole day. There is no explanation about what causes it, but the possibility of sleepiness is caused by the increased levels of progesterone hormone. In the second trimester, usually you're going to feel more energetic again, although usually this tiredness will come again at the end of pregnancy. It is because you are carrying a heavy burden on your body and this discomfort will frequently cause you can not sleep comfortable at night.

Bleeding

Some women experience vaginal bleeding, occurred about 11 or 12 days after conception (close to the time you are supposed to menstruate). The bleeding is usually very light (looks like red or pink spots or it could be like red-brown stain) and only occurs for one or two days. (Tell your doctor if there is bleeding or spotting, especially if it accompanied by pain, since this can be a sign of ectopic pregnancy).

Nausea and Vomiting

If you are like most other women, morning sickness will not occur until about a month after conception. However, in some women, they will experience this faster, not even just in the morning but in the afternoon, evening or night. But there are also women didn't experience this.

Most women who experience nausea will be fully relieved after entering the second trimester. But there are some who have this nausea in longer time, and some in shorter time.

More Sensitive to Smells

At the beginning of pregnancy, we often feel annoyed with smells that are around us. Sometimes we feel nauseous when we smell coffee or some certain dishes. No one knows for sure what causes it, but it seems caused by the increase in estrogen hormone in your body. Sometimes, our favorite food can cause nausea.

Flatulence

Hormonal changes during early pregnancy can cause your stomach feels bloated, just like when we are going to get our menstrual period.

Frequent Urination

As soon as you are pregnant, you will feel like to go to the bathroom frequently to pee. This is because during pregnancy the amount of blood and other fluids in your body increases, which led to extra fluid being processed by the kidneys and then ends up in your urinary tract.

This usually occurs in the first six weeks of pregnancy and gets worse at the end of pregnancy, because the fetus is growing so it will suppress the bladder.

Late Period

If your menstrual cycle is usually regular and this time it did not come on time, then this is the time to do a pregnancy test. But if you menstrual cycle is irregular, the symptoms of nausea and stiff breasts can be a reference for testing.

Body Temperature is Higher than Normal

If you are used to measure the temperature of your body, and you see that in the last 18 days your body temperature is higher than normal, then most likely you are pregnant.
