Fatigue is also a common early sign. Your body is going through a lot of hormonal changes and is working hard to support the developing embryo. So, you might feel extremely tired even without doing much. For example, I knew a woman who used to be very active but during her early pregnancy, she could barely stay awake past 8 pm.
Food cravings or aversions can be early signs. Some women suddenly have a strong desire for certain foods like pickles or ice cream. And some can't stand the smell or taste of foods they used to like. This is all related to the hormonal shifts in the body. There was a woman who used to love coffee but during her early pregnancy, she couldn't even stand the smell of it.
One success story is my friend. She noticed very early on that her breasts were tender and swollen, which is a common early sign. Also, she felt unusually tired all the time. It turned out she was pregnant. Another sign she had was a missed period, of course. And she had some mild cramping in her lower abdomen in the early days.
Sure. My neighbor had early signs like mood swings. One minute she was happy, the next she was crying for no reason. She also noticed that her nipples became darker. And she had a metallic taste in her mouth a lot. Later she found out she was pregnant.
In a Hindi story kind of way, one of the early signs of pregnancy can be a missed period. Just like the moon that doesn't show up on its regular day. Another sign could be feeling tired all the time. It's like a little bird that has lost its energy. Nausea or morning sickness is also common, which is like an unwanted guest that visits often in the morning.
Well, in a real story, a woman experienced nausea as an early pregnancy symptom. It wasn't just in the mornings but could hit her at any time of the day. Some women also report changes in appetite. For instance, my cousin suddenly had a craving for pickles and ice cream early in her pregnancy. And mood swings are also quite common. There was this woman who would go from being really happy to crying in a matter of minutes during the early days of her pregnancy.
A colleague of mine found out she was pregnant early on. She was always so tired that she once fell asleep during a meeting at work. Everyone thought she was just being rude at first, but then she announced her pregnancy and everyone understood. It was quite a humorous situation as she was usually so professional.
I heard a story about a woman who noticed very early signs of pregnancy. Her breasts were tender and she had some light spotting which made her suspect something. She went to the doctor right away. The doctor confirmed the pregnancy through a blood test. She was both excited and scared because it was her first time. She started reading all kinds of pregnancy books to educate herself.
In real early pregnancy stories, many women experience a missed period as an early sign. But it's not always that straightforward. Some might have a very light period that is different from their normal one. There can also be food aversions. For example, a woman who loved coffee might suddenly not be able to stand the smell or taste of it. And urinary frequency is also common. The body is going through so many hormonal changes during early pregnancy that it affects various aspects of a woman's daily life.
One of the early signs could be a missed period. Even if you were expecting your period in two days, once pregnant, it likely won't come. Also, tender breasts are common. They may feel swollen and a bit sore.
