To know whether you are pregnant in a timely manner, it is important for women to accumulate knowledge about pregnancy. Among the essential aspects of pregnancy knowledge, understanding the symptoms of pregnancy is crucial.
Generally speaking, after pregnancy, expectant mothers will often experience symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, changes in taste preferences, fatigue, and breast tenderness.
Pregnancy symptoms vary from month to month, so you can calculate your pregnancy month based on the differences in symptoms.
What are pregnancy symptoms? Generally speaking, there are some distinct physiological changes that occur after a woman becomes pregnant. The most common of these include the following six aspects:
1. Menstruation Stoppage: A common sign of pregnancy before it occurs is a missed period. For women who are in their childbearing years and have regular menstrual cycles, a missed period lasting more than two weeks after sexual intercourse could be a sign of pregnancy.
However, not every absence of menstruation indicates pregnancy. There are many reasons for a missed period, including poor ovarian function, abnormal hormone levels, and stress, among others.
2. Common nausea and vomiting: Many pregnant women at the early stages of pregnancy often experience nausea and vomiting, especially in the morning.
These symptoms vary from person to person, with some people experiencing them very mildly and others having severe ones.
3. Breast pain, swelling, and itching are physiological phenomena in early pregnancy. In addition, the color of the areola may darken.
4. Changes in Skin Color: This can lead to the formation of pigmentation deposits or stretch marks on the abdomen, especially more pronounced during pregnancy.
5. Fatigue: During the early stages of pregnancy, it is common to feel easily fatigued and often want to sleep.
6. Frequent Urination and Urgency: After pregnancy, the bladder is increasingly compressed by the enlarged uterus, reducing its capacity. This often leads to frequent urination.
The first week of pregnancy symptoms, the pregnant baby expert said that the pregnancy can be detected by the early pregnancy test at the first week of pregnancy, if the test is positive, then pregnancy is successful. But generally speaking, the urine test results are more accurate after 10 days of pregnancy.
In addition, pregnancy and infant experts also stated that there is generally no obvious feeling within a week after pregnancy, and then four common symptoms will appear: 1. easy to feel tired.
After one week of pregnancy, many expectant mothers may not even realize that they have a baby, but their bodies will truthfully reflect pregnancy symptoms, which are easy to feel tired and will undoubtedly become increasingly drowsy.
2. Frequent urination frequency.
One week pregnant, although the frequency and urgency of urination are not yet obvious, the frequency of urination has increased compared to before.
3. A slight swelling or tingling sensation in the breasts.
This phenomenon often occurs at the end of the first month after pregnancy, but some pregnant women may already feel a slight breast distension sensation in the first week.
4. Sensory Responses:
When faced with foods that I used to enjoy, the smell often causes nausea and vomiting.
The MomNet Encyclopedia reminds that early pregnancy symptoms are based on women's subjective feelings or physical conditions, and everyone has a different physique.
If you feel any of the following changes in your body, you can take a pregnancy test at home to confirm whether you are pregnant or not.
At three months pregnant, it can be said that the period is a dividing line in the symptoms of pregnancy. Most expectant mothers will find that their morning sickness has somewhat eased during this stage, but at the same time, some of the pregnancy reactions will become more pronounced.
At three months pregnant, this refers to the 9-12 week period.
During the early stages of pregnancy, symptoms such as severe morning sickness and poor gastric conditions are most prominent, along with symptoms like a feeling of warmth in the chest. At this time, appetite is generally low, leading to weight loss.
However, by the mid-third trimester of pregnancy, the nausea and vomiting have significantly subsided, appetite has increased, and the weight loss begun to rebound. However, during this period, the fetus grows to the size of a fist inside the uterus, and the enlarged uterus compresses surrounding tissues, causing the pregnant woman to feel a sense of pressure in her lower abdomen. Additionally, pregnant women may experience calf cramps and notice a noticeable increase in the number of times they need to go to the bathroom.
Additionally, starting from the mid-third trimester of pregnancy, women's bodies undergo significant changes. The vaginal discharge, which is normally a white fluid, becomes noticeably increased.
The breast has further enlarged and is painful.
Pigmentation appears on the areola and nipple
It is also prone to symptoms such as constipation and diarrhea
At this time, pregnant women need the care and companionship of their families the most. They should pay attention to using a scientific diet to regulate their discomfort and avoid using medication indiscriminately
Although modern society advocates gender equality, guessing whether the baby is a boy or a girl after pregnancy remains a popular topic among parents and friends
There are many methods circulating in the community that can identify boys and girls based on pregnancy symptoms, and it is difficult to confirm whether they are scientific or not, but they are still a reference
Here is a method shared by experienced mothers to identify whether the fetus is a boy or girl based on pregnancy symptoms: 1. The baby's movements start to be felt around 18 weeks, and before this, there was uncertainty as to whether the baby had moved at all. The movements were felt in the lower part of the abdomen, slightly to the left side.
Based on the boy's fetal movement starting at 16 weeks, and the girl's fetal movement starting at 18 weeks, it was initially believed to be a girl. However, since the fetal movements were in the left side, which aligns with the "male on the left, female on the right" rule, this led to the belief that it was a boy.
2. During the fetal movement, the kicking was more frequent; there were also more instances of the child making gurgling sounds in the womb, but it was difficult to detect any movement during rotation. At birth, there was no cord around the neck.
Finally, as the saying goes, boys are more prone to kicking and girls more inclined to flipping; thus, it was a boy.
3. At 28 days of pregnancy, a ZZZ test indicates that I am pregnant (starting from the first day of my menstrual period).
According to the principle that boys are born earlier than girls, it aligns with characteristics of having a boy.
4. During pregnancy, she particularly enjoyed eating spicy food. As a result, the baby born was a girl, which is consistent with the old adage "sour babies are sweet, spicy babies are fiery."
