Below are some of the early symptoms of pregnancy you may experience before missing your period. Keep in mind that pregnancy symptoms often mimic PMS symptoms.
Fatigue
Fatigue is common during the first months of pregnancy. This is due to hormonal changes. Plus your blood sugar and blood pressure levels are lower at this time.
Sore or sensitive breasts
One of the earliest changes you may notice during pregnancy is sore or aching breasts. Your breasts may also feel tender to the touch, or fuller or heavier than normal. This is due to rising progesterone levels in the body.This symptom may continue throughout your pregnancy or subside after the first few weeks.
Frequent urination
You’ve probably heard that you’ll have to pee all the time during pregnancy. This is because your body increases the amount of blood it pumps, resulting in the kidneys processing more fluid than usual. That means more fluid in your bladder.Frequently having to run to the bathroom to pee may be an early sign of pregnancy. This can start as early as two weeks after conception.
Nausea
Nausea and morning sickness usually start between the fourth and sixth weeks of pregnancy. You may experience some queasiness before then. Pregnancy nausea is worse for some women than it is for others.
