Early signs of pregnancy
Do you think you may be pregnant? The possibility of having a baby can bring joy, worry and many other feelings. If you’re trying to get pregnant or are in between periods, you may be looking for the earliest signs and symptoms of pregnancy. While it’s not possible to know for sure if you’re pregnant until you take a pregnancy test, there are some pregnancy symptoms to watch for early on, such as:
-
Sore, swollen or tender breasts
-
Sore nipples
-
Bloating
-
Food cravings
-
Urinating often
-
Upset stomach or feeling queasy
-
Tiredness
-
A missed period
-
Mood swings
-
Constipation
-
A slightly higher body temperature
-
Light spotting/bleeding
-

Changes in how food tastes
These symptoms could also mean you’re about to get your period. And, some women may not have any symptoms of pregnancy at all. Both situations may be normal, which is why testing is important.
