Early Pregnancy Symptoms / Signs of Pregnancy
Most women seem to detect that they may be pregnant early in pregnancy from:
- Spotting (Implantation Spotting/Bleeding)
- A Missed Period
- Intuition
Other Possible Signs of Pregnancy and Pregnancy Symptoms are:
- Tender breasts
- Nausea
- Fatigue
- Frequent urination
- Headaches
- Light headedness
- Constipation
- Heartburn
Please remember that you do not need to have all of these signs or symptoms to be pregnant. Every woman experiences pregnancy differently and often differently each time that they are pregnant.
A Missed Period
If you normally have fairly predictable menstrual periods (i.e. bleeding for 5 days, every 28 days) and then suddenly you miss one. This is a very good signal that you may want to take a pregnancy test and/or see a doctor. Missed periods can be caused by many factors besides pregnancy (i.e. stress, lack of ovulation, etc.)… so please see a doctor regardless whether you think you may be pregnant or not.
Intuition
Though this method of pregnancy detection may often be overlooked or criticized. Some women are very in-tuned to their bodies and just ‘get a feeling’ that they might be pregnant. If you really feel like something is not quite right with you or you sense that you might be pregnant, take a pregnancy test and get to a doctor.

The above pregnancy symptoms and signs can be an indicator of pregnancy, but can also result from many other conditions or health problems. Please take a pregnancy test as soon as you think that you might be pregnant and be sure to see a doctor, if you have any pregnancy signs or symptoms and/or a positive pregnancy test.
