Shortness of Breath
As you might be pregnant, you may get breathless going up the terrace or on stairs all of a sudden. The growing fetus needs oxygen, leaving you a little short. This one may continue throughout your pregnancy period, especially as your growing baby starts to put pressure on your lungs.
Urination
During pregnancy your body creates extra fluids, which has your bladder working overtime-and you taking a lot of loo break. Pregnancy causes the uterus to swell and it will start to enlarge for the growing fetus. The uterus puts pressure on your bladder making you feel the need for more frequent urination. Many pregnant women start to feel this symptom within a week or two after pregnancy has occurred.
Backaches
Is your back is a little painful? If you don't normally have back pain, it could mean your muscles are loosening. This might continue through your pregnancy as your weight gain and shifting center of gravity throw your posture out of whack.
Food Craving
Now if you have a craving for a lot of different food. If you notice food issues that weren't there earlier, it could be your body telling you you're pregnant. Food cravings can be a sign of pregnancy. You're more likely go off certain flavors at first, though, possibly even before you've missed a period. You may notice a metallic taste in your mouth, or find that you can't face your morning coffee or a food you usually like, such as mutton, dal, dalia etc.
Periods Missed
Light spot of blood may occur approximately 10-15 days from ovulation. It usually happens around the same time you would have gotten your 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.
Fainting
When standing in one place you may feel dizzy or even faint at sometimes. The growing uterus compresses major arteries in your legs which causes your blood pressure to drop making you extremely light headed. 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 exhausted much more quickly. Skipping meals may cause you to feel faint.
Swollen Breast
Once you are about six - seven weeks pregnant, your breasts may become increasingly sensitive. It's similar to how they feel before you have a period. You may notice that your breasts are larger and swollen, with blue veins visible just below the skin. Tenderness tends to be most common in the first trimester, easing as pregnancy progresses. Breasts may be very warm, 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 sensitive. These symptoms are due to increasing amount of HCG hormone that begins at implantation. Tender and heavy-feeling breasts, darkening of the areolas and even more pronounced veins on your chest can be a first sign that you're pregnant. Wear your most supportive bra-to bed if you need it-to help ease discomfort. This Swollen Breast generates milk which in future helps in breastfeeding.
Sluggish
If you're suddenly exhausted, it might be a response to the increasing hormones in your body. For many women, tiredness continues through the first trimester period. This is pretty obvious that you fall asleep or feel exhausted within five minutes after lying on the bed. When pregnant your body is going through some major hormonal changes. Your temperature is also higher due to the amount progesterone circulating through your body which will also make you feel a little sluggish.
