The tell-tale sign of pregnancy, of course, is a missed period. But if you have an irregular period or pay little attention to the calendar, you might miss that obvious clue.
Early pregnancy signs often mimic pre-menstrual symptoms. A little cramping and breast tenderness, for example, are common. For some women, bleeding happens when the egg implants and might be mistaken for a light period.
But as your body ramps up on pregnancy hormones, you might also experience:
1.Scent repulsion.
2 .Food aversion.
3. Nausea: your stomach feels unsettled. You feel like to vomit or not to vomit.
4. Strong gag reflex: Does brushing your teeth make you want to vomit? In early pregnancy, your gag reflex can kick into overdrive leading to unexpected vomiting.
5. Always wants some sleep: It’s Monday morning, and you’re already craving to return to sleep, or at least rest, seems to be on your agenda much more these days.
You can count on your health provider to:
1. Establish wellness care: Routine pelvic exams and Pap smears can keep you healthy.
2. Provide STD screenings: If you have a s*xually transmitted disease, like herpes, it can negatively affect pregnancy.
3. Regularize your period: You’ll have a better sense of when you’re ovulating (and when you’re pregnant) if your period comes on a more regular basis.
4. Uncover risks: Together with your doctor, you’ll get to the bottom of any inherited risks or other concerns that may be hiding in your family history.
5. Offer general advice: To ensure you’re healthy before and during pregnancy, your doctor can answer any questions related to women’s health, including questions about weight and nutrition.
