Hi there. Got a question for me?
Early pregnancy symptoms can vary from woman to woman, but commonly they include the following:
Missed or irregular period: This is often one of the first signs of pregnancy and is generally caused by higher levels of the hormone progesterone.
Tender, swollen breasts: Early in pregnancy hormonal changes might make your breasts sensitive and sore.
Increased urination: You might find yourself urinating more frequently.
Fatigue: Many women feel tired early into their pregnancy. This is caused by higher levels of the hormone progesterone and other metabolic changes.
Nausea and vomiting (morning sickness): Contrary to its namesake, morning sickness can occur at any time. It's still not entirely clear what causes it, but it's likely due to hormonal changes.
Food aversions or cravings: Certain foodsmells or tastes might make you feel nauseous, while other foods might be particularly appealing.
Mood swings: These are caused by hormonal changes.
If you've been experiencing several of these symptoms and you believe you might be pregnant, I would recommend taking a pregnancy test. Pregnancy tests are available at many clinics and pharmacies. If you need assistance locating these services, could you please provide your zip code?
