Pregnancy Symptoms Can Begin at Conception
|
Amenorrhea- This is when you stop having your period. This occurs the moment you conceive and it will continue until your child is born. Breastfeeding will cause you to continue missing your period for a couple of months. Morning Sickness- This includes nausea at any time of day. You may have morning sickness one week following conception and may last throughout the first trimester. A small handful of women experience morning sickness in the third trimester. Eating crackers or small frequent meals may help you feel better. Frequent Urination- Do you feel like you constantly need to use the restroom? Frequent urination is a symptom that the majority of women will experience in the early stages of pregnancy. When your uterus grows, it will begin to put pressure on your bladder, giving you the urge to urinate more frequently. Frequent urination can start the very first week after conceiving and can last the duration of your pregnancy. Food Cravings- As a pregnant woman you'll need more nutrients because your body is using so many to create the baby. This may cause you to crave certain foods throughout your pregnancy. Breast Changes- You may begin to notice that your breasts are swollen and sensitive. The circle around your nipple will darken and you will start noticing pink and blue lines under your skin. These changes are caused by the hCG hormone that begins production once you have conceived. These symptoms can begin as early as a few days after conception and can last the duration of your pregnancy. Fatigue- Your body is now working overtime growing a baby, this can cause fatigue. You will also have a higher temperature because of the increased amounts of progesterone being released within your body. This also adds to your fatigued. Bleeding- When the fertilized egg implants in your uterus, you may experience some light bleeding. Other Symptoms: -Sensitivity to Odors -Food Dislikes -Headache -Constipation If you have some of these symptoms and are unsure if you are pregnant, you may want to take a pregnancy test and/or consult your caregiver.
