Pregnancy Symptoms

While pregnancy tests and ultrasounds are the only ways to find out whether you’re expecting, there are several additional indications and symptoms to watch for. More than a missing period is one of the first indications of pregnancy. Morning sickness, sensitivity to smells, and tiredness are all possible symptoms.

Pregnancy symptoms vary from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy; nevertheless, a missing or delayed menstrual cycle is one of the most common pregnancy symptoms.

It’s crucial to know the signs and symptoms of pregnancy since each symptom might be caused by something other than pregnancy. Within a week following conception, some women begin to show signs or symptoms of pregnancy. Other women’s pregnancy symptoms may appear gradually over weeks or months, or they may not appear at all.
