Are you craving pickles and ice cream? Are you moody or irritable?

Sometimes it’s tricky to tell which symptoms may be pregnancy-related. And every woman has a different experience with pregnancy! Here are some common pregnancy symptoms.

Missed period

If you have a regular cycle, this is probably the best indicator of pregnancy. Missed periods are often the first sign that women notices. While missing a period could be due to stress or other factors, women who are sexually active should take a pregnancy test if they miss a period.

Tender, swollen breasts

Early in pregnancy, natural hormonal changes can make breasts tender and swollen.

Nausea

A classic sign of pregnancy is nausea and/or vomiting. Contrary to the name “morning sickness” nausea can happen at any time in early pregnancy. Not all women experience this symptom, though.

Increased urination

If your urge to urinate seems more frequent than usual, this could be another sign that you are pregnant.

Fatigue

Feel sleepy even though you are getting enough rest? Fatigue can be another sign that you are in the early stages of pregnancy. Lots of hormones are increasing in your body and some of them can make you sleepy!
