Symptoms of Pregnancy: Understand Early Signs and Conditions of Being Pregnant

Pregnancy Symptoms I Experienced

I woke up to take the pregnancy test, and before I even peed on the stick, I knew that it would be positive. For the first time, I had pregnancy symptoms that I'd never experienced before. Many women have this experience and are able to read the signs and the symptoms and know they are pregnant before modern science can confirm it. Some of the most common pregnancy symptoms cannot only help women confirm their pregnancy, but they may hang around for the first few weeks or months. Identifying and dealing with early pregnancy symptoms can help women as they try to conceive and then survive the first few weeks and months of a pregnancy.

Breast Tenderness
This was the first early pregnancy symptom that I experienced when I was pregnant with my oldest daughter. While some women have breast tenderness regularly, this was something out of the ordinary for me. It occurred a few days before I expected my period, and was the first clue for me that I might be pregnant. This symptom was one that I dealt with in the early weeks of my pregnancies only. Simply avoiding touching or having my breasts touched was the easiest way to handle this symptom until it subsided.
