Pregnancy Signals Imagine that it has happened; that an embryo has installed inside the soft walls of your uterus. Ok, so now you need to discover if you are pregnant, but how do you do this? The absence of your monthly period is one of the first signs many times. And normally the signs become more evident with each week that goes by.
- My period is late! - Ok so you suspect you are pregnant if your period is late. By the time you realize your period is late, the pregnancy test will almost surely give you a positive result. However, sometimes there can be one or two days in which you will bleed a little which is known as implanting bleeding, because the e
mbryo is latching onto the walls of the uterus.
- You can’t stand certain foods and crave others – the strange things you have heard about a pregnant woman’s appetite is true. You might feel an indescribable desire to eat certain types of foods, while there may be others that you used to really like that you will absolutely detest. Nobody really knows why these appetite changes happen, but experts suspect that, at least somewhat, it is a form of nature making sure you get the right nutrients in your body. It is possible that you might feel like eating bread or rice or French fires or other types of foods that are high in carbohydrates. It is possible that eating these types of foods during the first days gives your body energy for the days to come when the baby is growing at a fast rate. There are also women that feel very thirsty, and more water in the body is useful for increasing the blood and other bodily fluids.
- Your breasts become larger and sensitive – Don’t be surprised if your breast size changes during the beginning of your pregnancy. The fact that the breasts become larger and more sensitive is frequently the first sign of pregnancy that can be perceived, because at the beginning the levels of estrogen and progesterone increase, which immediately causes changes in the breasts.
