 What are the early pregnancy symptoms?

Signs of pregnancy begin to appear from about the first week. However, it may not be seen in the same way in every pregnancy and in every pregnancy. For a healthy pregnancy, it is important for couples to plan pregnancy in advance. Planning pregnancy is the right approach after evaluating the situation both psychologically and physically. It is useful to learn what to do before you get pregnant. If you have passed this stage and have doubts about pregnancy, a pregnancy test will give you the most accurate answer. However, some early pregnancy symptoms may appear beforehand.

What are the early pregnancy symptoms?

Pregnancy symptoms are similar to the syndrome seen before the menstrual period. Therefore, it can be confused. Plumping and sensitization of the breasts, excessive sleepiness, fatigue, frequent urination, psychological tension, edema (bloating) in the body are some of these symptoms. Some other symptoms are as follows;

Spotting

After conception, the fertilized egg inserts itself into the wall of the uterus. This is one of the earliest signs of pregnancy. It can be on any day, from 6 to 12 days from fertilization of the egg.

There may be white discharge

In addition to spotting, a white discharge from the vagina may come. This is related to the thickening of the vaginal wall.

Nausea in the morning

Morning sickness is the most famous symptom of pregnancy. But it is not experienced in every pregnancy. Although the exact cause of morning sickness is unknown, pregnancy hormones contribute to nausea.

Odor sensitivity

An excessive sensitivity to odors may occur in pregnant women under the influence of estrogen hormone. Especially heavy odors can cause gagging and nausea.

Constipation

During pregnancy, an elevation of the hormone progesterone can cause constipation. The hormone progesterone slows down the passage of nutrients through the intestines. Eating a diet with plenty of fiber, drinking water will help in solving the problem.

Dizziness and fainting

These symptoms usually occur as a result of a change in blood pressure. It can also cause changes in blood sugar.

Menstrual delay

This is the most important symptom. If the cycle period of your period has passed, it is useful to have a pregnancy test when about one week or ten days have passed. It should not be forgotten that your psychology can have an impact on this system. Many women who count down the days to test for fear of being pregnant may menstruate on the day they test or the next day.

But every woman is different. There are even differences between the two pregnancies of the same woman. The first weeks after fertilization of the egg are called the period of early pregnancy. Pregnancy may not be understood immediately due to a small amount of hormones changing during this period.

A hormone called Beta-hCG begins to be secreted in the body. The fact that this hormone increases significantly is understood by blood and urine tests. Whether you are pregnant or not is also understood by blood or urinalysis by looking at the rise of this hormone. Your physician can also give an idea that there may be a twin or single pregnancy with the blood test. But the clear result in this matter becomes clear after the examination of the obstetrician with ulturason images.

How do you know if you're pregnant?

It is said that the reliability of the tests that detect pregnancy from urine, which you can get from pharmacies, is 99%. However, when your period passes for a day or two, if you apply these tests, the accuracy margin decreases. For this reason, the most reliable way to find out if you are pregnant is to take a pregnancy test about 10 days after your period is delayed. You can also have a blood test to confirm the result.
