🌼 Introduction: Curious If You Might Be Pregnant?

Missing your period or feeling different lately? You're not alone. Many women search for early signs of being pregnant before taking a test. This blog will help you understand the first symptoms, how to confirm them, and when to take action.

🔍 Common Early Sign of Pregnant

Here are some signs you may experience before a missed period:

1. Missed Period

• The most obvious sign

• May be delayed due to stress or hormonal changes, so confirm with other symptoms too

  
  

2. Breast Tenderness

• Swollen, sore, or heavy breasts

• Caused by rising hormone levels (estrogen & progesterone)

  
  

3. Fatigue or Tiredness

• Feeling unusually sleepy even after rest

• Due to increased progesterone levels

  
  

4. Nausea or Morning Sickness

• Can begin as early as week 2–3

• May or may not include vomiting

  
  

5. Increased Urination

• Hormonal changes affect kidney filtration early on

  
  

6. Light Spotting or Implantation Bleeding

• Pinkish or brown discharge when the embryo attaches to the uterus

• Usually occurs 6–12 days after ovulation

  
  

7. Mood Swings & Emotional Sensitivity

• Caused by early hormonal shifts

• Similar to PMS, but may feel more intense

  
  

8. Food Aversions or Cravings

• Sudden dislike for foods or strong desire for certain items

  
  

9. Headaches or Dizziness

• Low blood sugar or blood pressure changes may trigger headaches
