Think there’s a possibility that you are pregnant? How can you know for sure? What kind of signs should you look for that may indicate there’s a good chance you are pregnant? Here is some information for you.

Pregnancy symptoms are going to vary from woman to woman and one may experience all of them while the other may only experience a few. There is always the chance that they may be experienced right as soon as conception occurs and another may take a few weeks. Some of the lucky women may never experience any pregnancy symptoms at all!

One of the first sure pregnancy symptoms are nausea and vomiting. This is also called “morning sickness” although that doesn’t always mean that it’ll happen in the morning. Women may also experience it in the afternoon and evening as well. There is no explanation for why women get queasy, but it can be alleviated by eating crackers or small meals throughout the day.

Frequent urination and tender breasts are also common pregnancy symptoms. Someone who is pregnant usually has a swelled uterus and this causes pressure to be put on their bladder, which in turn causes them to feel the need to urinate more frequently. A woman’s breasts may also be very tender or swollen. This is caused by the increasing amount of HCG that begins at implantation.

Feelings of tiredness and sluggishness are pregnancy symptoms which are more than obvious. A woman’s body is going through major hormonal changes. Other pregnancy symptoms associated with this are dizziness or fainting. This is because the growing uterus compresses the major arteries in your legs. So, if you are standing in an area for a long period of time without moving, you may start to feel dizzy or get headaches. Also, skipping meals may cause you to feel faint, which is why it’s important to take care of yourself and eat small meals throughout the day.

Takeaways
  • Symptoms at different stages
  • Some women may not experience all of the symptoms
  • In the end, it's completely worth it
Did You Know?
You will only experience these symptoms for 9 months

Okay so me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex about two weeks ago...So during this week of 6/23 i got sick...i was very cold, body aches, breast extremely sore, always dizzy, and major headaches...A few people said i might have the flu...but others like his sister and his mother said i might be pregnant...I went online and did one of those due date calculators things....You have to put in your last menstrual date and so i did and it said i may be prego because the conception date was 6/14 and that's when we had sex...Let me know what you think....I would really appreciate it...@iso3ffinluvm3@yahoo.com

Ok, so, to all of you people who wrote things about ass sex and boyfreinds cumming outside of you and you thinkin youre pregnant, PICK UP A HEALTH TEXT BOOK AND READ IT!!!!! Since youre writing stupid things like that, i assume that you're in highschool and have obviously missed the lessons on sex and conception(that means baby makin). So, get the dildos outta your brains and go to class and learn about it before you post any more rediculous questions. Thank you.

Ok I dont have a question but I do have something to say..... Are all the people using this teenagers because I've read though some of these and it sounds like alot of you are quite stupid to think that you can get an answer of weather or not your pregant on the internet maybe you should go to a gynecologist (which is a vagina doctor) well have a nice day retards

I had sex with my boyfriend like a week ago and he didnt use a condom. After we did it, I found out I was on my period and I was on birth control as well. But I did research and I was told that you can get pregnant if you are on birth control and if you have your period. My breast has gotten more tender and I have been eating alot more but no other symptoms. Im worried and scared. I want to know if this means I could be pregnant. Please give me a response. Thanks.
