Earliest Pregnancy Signs

  1. Extremely tired? Due to the increase in hormone levels, most women begin to feel extreme fatigue as one of their first signs of pregnancy.
  2. Breasts and/or nipples very tender and sore? Many women feel that their breasts are fuller and more tender with their nipples being more sensitive during early pregnancy.
  3. Cramping and/or bloating? This very early sign of pregnancy tends to feel much like your period is coming. It could be your period, but it could also be early pregnancy.
  4. Light vaginal bleeding? This light spotting could be from implantation of a fertilized egg into the lining of the uterus. Many women feel that their period is beginning, but it is actually one of their first symptoms of pregnancy.
  5. Nausea and/or vomiting? Normally, morning sickness won't occur until about a month after conception, and some escape this pregnancy symptom altogether.
  6. Urinate more than normal? Increased urination occurs due to the increase in blood and other body fluids, which ends up being processed by the kidneys and ending up in the bladder. This increase in urination will most likely only worsen as your pregnancy progresses.
  7. Missed your period? If you have regular periods and can typically predict when it will start, then this symptom could definitely indicate early pregnancy. You may notice a missed period before any other pregnancy symptom.
  8. Sensitive to odors than normal? This early pregnancy symptom may be due to increased estrogen levels, but no one knows for sure.
  9. Basal body temperature staying high? If you're charting your basal body temperature, one of the first signs of pregnancy is a higher-than-normal temperature for that time of the month.
  10. Positive pregnancy test? Most pregnancy tests will not detect early pregnancy until your period is missed. If other pregnancy symptoms are present and you still don't have your period, test again in a few days.
