Am I Pregnant?

Different women observe different symptoms during early pregnancy period,and not necessarily all women will have all the typical signs and symptoms of pregnancy.However there are some common symptoms of pregnancy one or more of them every woman observes while early pregnancy period.A missed menstrual period indicates that conception has occured. Many women observe nausea for two weeks even before an expected period.Taking smaller meals instead of large ones will help reduce nausea that's an early symptom of pregnancy.

Nausea and vomiting also referred to as morning sickness usually ends up when women enter their second trimester period.Women feeling more sickness have less chances of miscarriage.

During the early pregnancy a woman can feel her breasts swollen and tender. A woman may start feeling headache at the 6th week of pregnancy. Spotting is another common symptom of pregnancy that may also be a sign of miscarriage.

During early pregnancy period hormonal changes in our body leads to constipation.There is increase in progesterone level that causes reduction in digestive process.Drinking plenty of water can be helpful while iron supplements an make constipation even worse.

Women in early pregnancy stage will observe frequently need of urination because of uterus stretches in the first trimester making urinary bladder to contract and get empty.The symptom goes away when the uterus moves upward in the second trimester.

One thing that many of my frineds have noticed is that even before the nausea and morning sickness, they cannot get their makeup to stay on their face properly. It seems to not adhere properly. Is there some type of skin change on the face that could cause this early in pregnancy?

Skin becomes more sensitive while pregnancy.Avoid make-ups that contain mercury.

You may see changes such as a sudden new glow on your face or pinkish, reddish streaks on your stomach. Not every pregnant woman will experience all the same skin changes.

Staying of make up may or may not point to being pregnant.It varies among different women.Even In some women the early signs of pregnancy are obvious, like morning sickness and nausea.But in many cases, these symptoms don't appear until week 3 to 5 if it at all.Since the hormones that effect the body also change the complexion.

a missed menstrual period is usually the first sign of pregnancy noticed by most women.

Well, I had sex with my BF on May 25th, my period seemingly followed late coming June 6, but it was very spotty (come and go), then July 2 it spotted pink and that is all she has wrote. I've been very sleepy and have terrible nausea, incredibly achy boobs and the constipation is horrid...yet I haven't missed a cycle or have I?? Could I be prego?! I hope I am, then again I hope not someone help! My cylce has gone crazy!

Well I had a period on Oct. 5th-9th but i bleed for the first two days and on the 3rd day it started acting weird it would stop completely that day and start again the 4th day. I have been experiencing nausea for 2 weeks and some tender breasts every now and then. Could that just be a sign of my period coming on Nov. 1?
