11 Very Early Signs of Pregnancy

Are you pregnant? Let's find out.

The 11 very early pregnancy signs listed below are the main early symptoms of pregnancy. And whether this is your first or fourth baby, the early signs of pregnancy remain the same. However, each pregnancy experience is different.

You may have 5 of the 11 very early signs of pregnancy with your first baby and several other slightly different symptoms with each consecutive pregnancy.

The 11 Major Early Pregnancy Signs

1. Breast Changes – This is often the first sign of pregnancy. Hormones immediately begin preparing your body for breastfeeding. As early as a week after conception the area around nipples becomes darker and breasts feel swollen and more sensitive.

2. Missed Menstrual Period – Missing a period is an obvious sign of pregnancy. But there are also other reasons for a missed period, such as stress, dieting or medicine. If your cycle is very regular, missing a period can be an early sign of pregnancy.

3. Spotting – Light bleeding may appear 8 to 14 days after conception. The fertilized egg implants itself in the uterine lining causing pink or brownish spotting. Many women mistake this for a menstrual period, when they're actually pregnant.

4. Cramping – Cramps similar to those experienced around menstruation are sometimes a very early sign of pregnancy. The uterus walls can contract as a result of any kind of physical activity.

5. Nausea – Feeling nauseated and sometimes even vomiting is called "morning sickness," but it can happen any time day or night. While nausea is common between weeks four and eight in about half of all pregnancies, some women experience symptoms as early as a week or two after conception.

6. Tiredness – During early pregnancy your body is going through major hormonal changes. Your heart pumps harder and blood flows faster to bring nutrients to the baby. Exhaustion and fatigue are understandable and usually go away as your body adjusts.

7. Frequent Urination – Many women experience more frequent urination as early as a week or two after conception. The most intense need to urinate typically takes place in the first and third trimesters of pregnancy.

8. Dizziness – Blood sugar is the primary source of food for a growing fetus, so it tends to drop more quickly than usual. Skipping meals or going too long without eating can make you feel dizzy, lightheaded or even faint from low blood sugar.

9. Mood Swings – You're not crazy, it's just hormones. Mood swings are common, even in early pregnancy. This can include irritability and crying for no apparent reason.

10. Increased body temperature –Your basal body temperature (BBT), taken first thing in the morning, is higher when you ovulate and during pregnancy. So, it's a good early indicator of pregnancy when your BBT remains high.

11. Constipation – Pregnancy hormones slow down digestion and bowel function to insure maximum nutrient absorption. For relieving constipation, drink plenty of water and eat a good pregnancy diet that includes plenty of high fiber foods.

I was lighthead from time to time during my second pregnancy. Esp when going from lying to sitting or sitting to standing too quickly. Dr. OB told me this was normal and to be careful and move slowly.

Also, stopping many medications can cause you to feel dizzy. If you stopped taking something once you found out you were pregnant, you will want to speak to your Dr about it.

Being a mom of 3 here's what i learned about pregnancy.

#1. No 2 pregnancy is the same.
#2. You feel more of the odd symptoms the more pregnancys you have...
#3. (you probibly know this one VERY WELL already) In utero is the ONLY time you know your baby cann't climb on top of the coffee table. lol (my almost 1's newest trick).

As to being a SAHM.... ITS AWESOME and yet those of us who do it are INSANE!!! lol I've been SAHM for almost 8 years. My only advice is create a schedule for your day. Be consistant . Then the kids know what to do and its not as hectic as the no rules houses... Get interaction from outside the home... Family, play groups, church groups etc. Institute a monthly girls night out. Even if its just sitting at the library in the peace and quiet reading a book. (no $$$ spent) it gives your ear drums time to heal and your pants leg to dry off from all the tears and boogers that are wiped on them at about knee level. lol As a mom we give all of ourselves to our familys. Every once in a while have hubby take kids somewhere and DO NOTHING. Take a bath. A sane mommy makes the kids happy. :-) But i wouldn't trade my insanity for ANYTHING!!!
