what are some symtoms of being pregnant?

Short of a positive pregnancy test, there's no way to be positive (at least this early on) that you're pregnant. Still, there are plenty of signs that can give you a hint. If you find yourself saying one or more of these things, you should be thinking pregnancy (and running out to the store for a home pregnancy test):

1. "Ouch! Don't touch my breasts!" Tender breasts and nipples — and I'm talking tender — is one of the first signs many women notice after they conceive. As early as a few days after conception, your breasts may feel full, swollen, and painful to the touch — similar to the feeling you may experience before you get your period but probably a little more pronounced. Make that a lot more pronounced.

2. "Holy dark areolas, Batman!" Not only are your breasts tender, but now it looks like they're changing colors before your eyes! Don't worry — and don't run out to get your eyes checked. It's normal for the area around the nipple (a.k.a. the areola) to darken in hue during pregnancy and even to increase in diameter somewhat. The color change can start as early as a week or two after conception, due to the pregnancy hormones surging through your body. You may also notice an increase and enlargement in the tiny bumps on the areola (called Montgomery's tubercles, in case you need to know).

3. "What's that spot on my underwear?" Some women experience implantation bleeding when — you guessed it — the embryo implants in the uterus. Scanter than a period (and earlier than your expected monthly flow — around five to ten days after conception), implantation bleeding is usually light to medium pink in color (not red, like a period) and is spotty.

4. "Why don't I just move into the bathroom?" The need to pee at an alarming frequency is a symptom of pregnancy that appears on the scene pretty early, usually about two to three weeks after conception.

5. "Get me to a bed — and fast." And not for sex. Extreme fatigue — make that exhaustion — sets in very early in a pregnancy, due in part to the surging hormones in your body. Not to mention all the work your body is doing to jump-start the making-a-baby process.

6. "I think I'm gonna puke." Another reason to move into the bathroom, unfortunately. Nausea and vomiting — those hallmark symptoms of pregnancy — can unfortunately strike a newly pregnant woman pretty early in her pregnancy (though it's more likely to begin around week six).

7. "What's that I smell — and why does it smell so strong?" Do you smell what's on the menu before you've even opened it? Believe it or not, one of the first changes some newly pregnant women report is an increased sensitivity to odors. It could be because of the increasing amount of estrogen in your system during early pregnancy.

8. "I feel like a walking flotation device." Do you have that bloated feeling? You may not be able to differentiate between a preperiod bloat and a pregnancy bloat, but that bloated feeling can creep up on you very early in a pregnancy. Whoopee cushion anyone?

9. "I'm late." No, not for a meeting (though that may happen, too, with all these symptoms getting you distracted). If you've missed a period (especially if your periods generally run like clockwork), you may already be suspecting pregnancy — even before a pregnancy test confirms it.

10. "It says I'm pregnant!" The proof is positive (or, at least, 99 percent positive) on that pregnancy test you can take as early as four days before you expect your period (depending on the brand — though the results will be more positive if you wait until P-day to test). Whether it's a blue or pink line, a positive sign, or a digital readout, if that home pregnancy test says you're expecting — expect some major changes in your body and life during the next nine months (and beyond).

Of course these are the symptoms of pregnancy and the existence of one or more is not definite indication that you might be pregnant. Just the same, if you do not experience these symptoms, it does not mean that you are not pregnant. The best way to confirm is to take a pregnancy test. Many early pregnancy tests are very accurate and can tell you early if you are pregnant or not.

If you suspect you are, you should visit your GP and he/she can confirm it and also start your pre-natal care. "

The most common signs of early pregnancy are a missed period, breast tenderness, increased fatigue, increased urination and nausea. Other symptoms include common hormonal symptoms like mood swings, headaches and appetite changes. However, these symptoms could also be caused by something else so for these to be considered as pregnancy symptoms, they need to be validated with a test. If you are delayed, try to do a home pregnancy test because it can give you a reliable result if you test a few days or a week after your missed period. Good luck!

First, a missed period. You may feel bloated, slightly crampy (that's the implantation), very tired, and slightly sick to your stomach (even very early on) also.

Many tests will tell you if you are pregnant very early on now--like 4-5 days before your period is even supposed to start. I personally like the EPT brand. You may want to get a test at the store. Also, if you think you are even earlier than that and it is driving you crazy not knowing, your doctor can do a blood test that will tell you within 3-5 days of conception.

Good luck!!
