What are the typical first pregnancy symptoms according to stories?

Well, common first - time pregnancy symptoms can vary from woman to woman. But generally, breast tenderness is a sign. The breasts may feel swollen and sore. Also, frequent urination can occur. As the pregnancy progresses, the growing uterus puts pressure on the bladder. And heightened sense of smell is also possible. You might find certain smells overwhelming that didn't bother you before.

Missing a period is often one of the first signs. For my friend, she suddenly realized her period was late and that's when she started suspecting she might be pregnant. Then came the tender breasts, which she said felt a bit swollen and sore.

Increased urination is also a symptom. Your body is producing more fluids during pregnancy, and your growing uterus puts pressure on your bladder. One of my friends noticed she was going to the bathroom much more frequently and initially thought it was just because she was drinking more water. But then she realized it could be a sign of pregnancy. Also, mood swings can be really intense. One minute you're happy, the next you might be crying for no obvious reason. Hormonal changes are to blame for that.

Abdominal pain is often mentioned as a first symptom. It might be mild at the start but can worsen over time.

Some symptoms can start as early as a week after conception. For example, implantation bleeding might occur around 6 - 12 days after conception. But it varies. Nausea usually starts around 2 - 8 weeks after conception for most women.

One success story could be a woman who was very healthy and fit. She had no pregnancy symptoms like nausea or fatigue throughout her pregnancy. She was able to continue her normal exercise routine and work without any problems. The baby was born healthy. It just shows that every pregnancy is different and lack of symptoms doesn't mean there are issues.

Yes, I know a woman who had a positive pregnancy test but no symptoms. She was initially very confused. However, she followed her doctor's advice for prenatal care. The baby grew just fine, and she had a normal delivery. It shows that not all pregnancies come with the expected symptoms.

One typical story is about the cravings. Women might crave strange combinations of food. For example, some want salty and sweet together. Also, many experience mood changes. They can be more emotional than usual, crying easily or getting angry quickly. And fatigue is also very common. Pregnant women often find themselves needing more rest than before.

Sure. One common symptom is breast changes. They might become larger and the nipples might darken. I had a neighbor who was so confused when she noticed these changes in her breasts, and later found out she was pregnant.

Typically, mange causes animals to have a constant urge to scratch. Their fur might fall out in patches, the skin could become red and swollen, and there might be scaly or crusty areas. Different species and individual animals can have slightly different manifestations of these symptoms.
