How to Tell if You are Pregnant
64
There are a lot of interesting changes that occur in your body when you become pregnant. Your first indicator of pregnancy is missing a period, easy enough to spot if you are regular, but here are some less commonly known indications that you may be pregnant:
10. Your sense of smell becomes more keen.
9. You have to pee. A lot.
8. You vomit. Morning... noon... night. It doesn't seem to ever stop.
7. You suddenly begin producing a lot of saliva. (Don't laugh, this happens to a lot of women.)
6. Your dreams become much more vivid than usual.
5. Smoking and drinking coffee or alcohol suddenly seem less appealing or make you sick to your stomach. (If they were appealing to you in the first place, that is.)
4. You get a pregnancy mask. Dark circles under your eyes that make you look kinda like a raccoon.
3. You suddenly look / feel thicker around the middle and in the hips, but have barely gained any weight.
2. Your breasts become tender, sometimes even larger and the area around your nipples darken. (The areola's.)
1. Severe fatigue can also be a sign of pregnancy.
The best thing you can do if you show any of these signs or have missed a period is to go to the drugstore and pick up a two-pack of pregnancy tests. Relax, read the instructions and follow them carefully. If either one comes up positive the next step is to schedule an appointment with Planned Parenthood or your regular gynecologist, if you have one. They will do a blood or urine test to confirm the results.

*lol* Thanks for stopping by eovery and taking the time to stop by and comment, I appreciate your insight as always.
Isn't the first sign craving picked fried ice cream?
Yugh! Actually, there is a reasonable explanation as to why women crave pickles during pregnancy. Dill, (the main ingredient in pickling solution,) is a natural stomach settler, so it would only make sense that women would crave it. But, alas, no, during the first month or two of pregnancy usually cravings haven't kicked in yet.
good work
