When most women think about very early
symptoms of pregnancy, they automatically assume that a missed
period is the top symptom.
Would you be surprised that a missed period isn’t even in the top 5 very early symptoms of pregnancy?
very early signs of pregnancy that can be noticed by a sensitive mother-to-be. And, all five can happen long before a period has been missed. By the time a woman has noticed a missed period due to a pregnancy, at least 5 other symptoms may have made themselves known, possibly weeks before the scheduled period. Here are five
1.Elevated Basal Body Temperature. The body’s basal temperature (the lowest body temperature that happens during rest) begins to elevate after ovulation, and stays elevated beyond your next expected period. Ovulation is when a mature egg is released from the ovary and pushed down the fallopian tube and is ready to be fertilized by a sperm.
The implantation of a fertilized egg normally takes place 6 to 12 days after ovulation – that’s about two to three weeks before the next period is missed.This one-half to one degree Fahrenheit increase in basal body temperature is a subtle early warning sign of pregnancy. This change in basal body temperature, which is measured by a special, more accurate thermometer, can happen as early as two days after ovulation. And, that can be two weeks before you notice a missed period.
2.Breast Tenderness, Nipple Enlargement And Increased Breast Size. Changes and increased swelling and tenderness in the breast and nipples are one of the classic very early signs of pregnancy. Many times, a woman may notice these changes and blame them on a particularly ill-fitting or uncomfortable bra or other article of clothing. But, the sensitive woman will notice these changes for what they are – a new life is beginning to grow inside her with the new pregnancy.
Nipples, particularly the dark area around the nipple called the areola, enlarge and darken in anticipation of breastfeeding the new infant. These changes are due almost entirely to hormone releases in the body, all in anticipation of sustaining the new life within. Some experts say the darkening of the areolas serves a purpose – helping the newly born child find the nipple easier for feeding. These changes to the breast and nipple areas should return to normal after birth.
3.Nausea And Vomiting. Also
known as “morning sickness,” this early and uncomfortable sign of
pregnancy usually targets women and begins around the sixth week of pregnancy, but often occurs
earlier. About half of all expecting mothers have morning sickness –
which may or may not include vomiting. But, it usually always features
nausea. Often attributed to increased hormone levels in the body, some
doctors feel that morning sickness is a good sign that the baby is
healthy and is developing normally, and the pregnancy is progressing
well.
If your morning sickness is accompanied with vomiting, be sure to stay hydrated, keep your electrolyte levels within range and get plenty of rest and nap throughout the day.
