    In some women the early signs of pregnancy are obvious, like morning sickness and nausea.

But in many cases, these symptoms don't appear until week 3 to 5 if it at all.

The hormonal changes starts gradually so is not easy to detect some early signs of pregnancy.

As soon as the egg is fertilized it start traveling down the fallopian tubes until it reaches the uterus and attaches itself. That moment is crucial. If the egg attaches properly the body produces the hormone that will stop the menstruation, otherwise it won't. At this stage early signs of pregnancy are difficult to find in most women.

The best thing to do is to take a pregnancy test and make sure it's positive.

The sooner the woman knows, the better, so she can start taking folic acid (highly recommended to help the bone development in the baby). Also check with the doctor to make sure everything is all right.


Another early sign of pregnancy is the tiredness. Most women suffer tiredness in the first trimester because of the hormone revolution going on inside their body.

Breast grows a bit because of the hormones as well, another early sign of pregnancy.

Feeling tired and grumpy can also be considered a sign of pregnancy (no jokes fellas!).

Occasionally an increase in appetite can signal an early sign of pregnancy, or the complete opposite, not being able to face certain types of food with sickness and nausea.

Another not so common early sign of pregnancy is the skin problems, produced as well because of the changes in hormone levels.

Early signs of preganacy:
  • Mised period
  • Tender breast
  • Nausea
  • Fatigue
  • Frecuent urination
  • Headache
  • Spotting
  • Light headedness
  • Constipation
  • Heartburn

If you have any of these early signs of pregnancy visit your doctor or use a pregnancy test to see if it's positive.
