Signs of pregnancy: how to identify pregnancy. Video

Within a few days after the expected ovulation, early signs of pregnancy may appear. Often they allow you to determine that a woman is pregnant, even before the delay in menstruation.

In particular, the following signs should grab your attention:

• increased salivation
• mild nausea or even vomiting
• darkening of the nipples
• dizziness, weakness
• pressure drops
• mood swings
• increased fatigue

Please note that such signs can become symptoms of illness, overwork, poisoning, etc., so their appearance does not mean that pregnancy has occurred.

Symptoms can vary depending on the characteristics of the woman’s body. For example, nausea and vomiting may not start at all, even by the middle of the first trimester.

There are also more obvious signs by which you can determine pregnancy in the first days after conception.

Here they are:

• feeling that the chest has become heavier, and the skin on it is rougher
• frequent urination without pain
• delayed menstruation
• temperature rise to 37оС and a little more
• the appearance of strange vaginal discharge

The presence of just one symptom usually does not mean anything yet, so it is advisable to pay attention to the totality of different symptoms. But do not forget that they may not appear at all in the first two weeks of pregnancy, so if you dream of a baby, but do not notice such signs, this is not a reason for grief.

A more accurate way to find out if you are pregnant is to buy and use a special test. For some women, he can tell the good news on the very first day after conception. However, keep in mind that in the very early stages, the reliability of the results may not be very high. The easiest, albeit not very cheap, option is to purchase three different tests and use them at intervals of several hours. This will help you get much more reliable data.

The second option is to contact a gynecologist. Ultrasound in the first days will not show anything, but palpation can help determine whether you are carrying a child under your heart or not. The fact is that the uterus slightly enlarges after conception, and according to some signs, an experienced gynecologist can determine that a woman has become pregnant.

A week or more after the intended conception, you can try to undergo an ultrasound scan. At this time, such a procedure will already be able to make it possible to find out whether it is about pregnancy or not. This method is especially often used if there is even the slightest suspicion of an ectopic pregnancy. You can also donate blood for hCG – this test will also help to find out about conception even before the delay in menstruation.
