How do I Know I'm Pregnant?

You may have felt “something” and as a result decided to take a pregnancy test or noticed another sign/ symptom that you are pregnant.

Here are some of the common signs that women have that signal pregnancy as well as the reasons that it happens.

Missed period
Menstruation is a few days late or a couple of weeks late when you notice.

Blood Spotting
Some women  notice spots of blood accompanied with cramping, mood swings and headaches. You probably will mistake it for a light period as it will be around the time that menstruation is due.This can last for up to 2 days.

Tender breasts and nipples
One of the most common first signs of pregnancy – can have darkening of the areolas and veins may be pronounced due to the increased blood flow.

May feel nausea with / without sickness
IF you have periods of nausea and / or sickness you will also have periods where you are hungry and want to eat – furthermore make sure you notice when this is and eat at these times.

Cravings or aversions to food or other things
Your body is talking to you, LISTEN!  An indication that  your diet is deficient is almost always a craving  for certain foods. Some examples are: …………..I know…laugh, if you are craving these
  • Coal / dirt / ice -maybe a sign that indicates low iron
  • Chocolate – low magnesium which is essential for growth
  • Oily or fatty foods – low calcium
Aversions usually are because the body is using energy for growth and sends a signal that it does not want food right now.

Tiredness – more like exhaustion!
It’s perfectly normal to feel this exhaustion in the early weeks so, rest when you can.Share the chores especially the ones you don´t like doing.

Lots of peeing!
Back and forward to the toilet due to the fact that you have to pee much more often. NOW is the time to start with your pelvic floor exercises / AKA Kegels

                                                            AND CONTINUE FOR LIFE!
​

Heightened senses, especially smell
A heightened sense of smell can be one of the first signs of pregnancy. All senses are heightened to different degrees in all pregnant women.

Emotional see-saw
One minute you are laughing hysterically and the next the floodgates have opened up and the tears flow …what’s it all about? Another “hormonal” game.

Hot! Hotter! And even Hotter!
The menopause is not the sole cause of hot flashes. A woman’s core temperature will be slightly higher during pregnancy.
​
Constipation and Bloating
Feeling bloated and constipated? – this too will pass!
