to All Those Whom Come Here And Ask If We Think Your Preggy Posted: 11-05-04 11:39am
No one here can tell you if you are, best
bet take a test or see your doctor, only
then will you be able to tell. I am not
being mean or anything but there are like
12 posts about it in the past 48 hours.
Here are symptoms, but once agian, go see
a doctor or take a test:
the onset and degree of pregnancy symptoms
will vary within women. Many women
experience them within days of conception,
others take a few weeks before pregnancy
symptoms kick in and a lucky few feel no
discomfort at all. The early pregnancy
symptoms listed on this page generally can
be felt once implantation occurs (8 - 10
days from ovulation) and will lessen after
the first trimester.
It is frustrating to realize that many
pregnancy symptoms are very similar to
those that occur right before
menstruating. However, combined with
high temperatures and a longer luteal
phase - they are key indications that you
have achieved pregnancy success!
Nausea & vomiting
nausea and vomiting may come as early as a
week into the pregnancy. Many women
experience illness in the morning (morning
sickness), some in the afternoon or
evening, others feel feel nausea
throughout the entire day. There is no
explanation as to why pregnant women feel
this or even a solution as to how to
prevent it - however, eating small
frequent meals, and snacking on saltine
crackers seems to give some kind of
relief. Eating a protein/carboy hydrate
at bedtime (try an apple and a glass of
milk) tends to lessen the nausea that
occurs in the morning.
Breast tenderness
breasts may be very tender, swollen and
start to enlarge. Many times the veins
within the breast will become more
visible. Your nipples may start to darken
in color, become more erect and be
extremely sensitive. These symptoms are
due to increasing amount of hcg hormone
that begins at implantation.
Frequent urination
pregnancy causes the uterus to swell and
it will start to enlarge for the growing
fetus immediately. The uterus puts
pressure on your bladder making you feel
the need for more frequent urination.
Many women start to feel this symptom
within a week or two after pregnancy has
occurred.
Feeling tired / sluggish
this one is pretty obvious. When
pregnant your body is going through some
major hormonal changes. Hcg levels alone
go from 0 - 250,000 miu/ml in just twelve
weeks. Your temperature is also higher
due to the amount progesterone circulating
through your body which will also make you
feel a little sluggish.
Light bleeding
light bleeding (spotting) may occur
approximately 8 - 10 days from ovulation.
It usually happens around the same time
you would have gotten your menstrual
period. Some women assume they have
started their period when in fact they are
pregnant. The spotting is caused from
implantation which is when the fertilized
egg burrows into the endometrial lining.
Dizziness and/or fainting
when standing in one place you may feel
dizzy or even faint. The growing uterus
compresses major arteries in your legs
which causes your blood pressure to drop
making you extremely light headed.
Skipping meals or going too long without
eating may cause you to feel dizzy or
faint. When not eating frequently
enough it causes low blood sugar. Blood
sugar is the primary source of food for
your baby so it will be depleted much more
quickly.
Constipation
pregnancy hormones will slow down bowel
functions to give maximum absorption time
of vitamins and nutrients.
Unfortunately, this symptom usually only
gets worse as the pregnancy progresses.
Irritability
raging hormones are the cause of
this...Along with having to put up with
all the other symptoms. This symptom
should decrease soon into the second
trimester but until then, a healthy diet,
moderate exercise and plenty of sleep
should help the crabbiness somewhat.
Heartburn
the uterus is very swollen and starts to
push upward as it grows. The increasing
levels of hcg will also slow down
digestion making your stomach not empty as
fast which increases the stomach acid.
Uncomfortable - but well worth it!
After your precious baby arrives, you will
soon forget the bouts of nausea and the
discomfort you are now experiencing.

I understand it is anoying getting us
paranoid women asking preggo questions.
Sometimes you still arnt sure after
reading the sypmtoms. Like you said it
varies with women.The reason I was asking
because web sited do not generaly mention
lower abdominal pain as a symptom. But I
have heard from different women that it
is. I was just wanting to know from the
women here who have been pregnant if they
remember having odd pains that were not
like period cramps...But hurt never the
less.
Hearing from different women who have
experienced pregnancy can ease your mind a
bit.
Also....How ecxactly did everyones breast
feel? First symptoms. Tingling pain?
Sharp pain? Or just plain swollen? Mine
arnt swollen but have sharp tingling pain
when you tuch the nipples.
