What are the differences between signs of pregnancy and signs of menstruation?

It is usually difficult for women to detect pregnancy when they first begin to develop, especially for women whose menstrual cycles are not very regular. In fact, there are some symptoms in the early stages of pregnancy, which are somewhat different from the symptoms in the early stages of menstruation. Now I will introduce to you some specific differences between signs of pregnancy and signs of menstruation.

Premonition of menstruation

Many women experience some uncomfortable symptoms in the few days before their period (premenstrual period), such as depression, anxiety, tension, blindness, irritability, restlessness, fatigue, etc. It is generally believed that this is related to the imbalance of estrogen and progesterone in the body.

During menstruation, symptoms such as poor appetite, back pain, and fatigue may occur. At this time, it is advisable to choose foods and medicines that are beneficial to the skin and beauty and are beneficial to the "three menstrual cycles". Recommended foods and medicines include: mutton, chicken, red dates, tofu skin, apples, coix seed, beef, milk, eggs, brown sugar, motherwort, angelica, rehmannia, peach blossom, etc.

Pregnancy signs

Many pregnant women experience frequent urination in the early stages of pregnancy. During the first three months of pregnancy, the uterus gradually grows in the pelvic cavity, pressing on the bladder, causing the expectant mother to constantly feel the urge to urinate. In the middle of pregnancy, the uterus will move up to the abdominal cavity, and the phenomenon of frequent urination will improve. But towards the end of pregnancy, frequent urination will reappear.

Vomiting in early pregnancy is a normal physiological phenomenon. There is no need to be overly nervous. It usually has little impact on your health and does not require treatment. Just keep a happy mood, stable emotions and get enough rest. For most people, these symptoms disappear on their own after 12 weeks of pregnancy.

Early pregnancy reactions are very severe, and more than 60% of pregnant women have experienced vomiting after getting up in the morning. The sudden nausea and vomiting made the expectant mother look a little embarrassed.

Most women will experience nausea and vomiting when they are more than 6 weeks pregnant, usually within a few hours after waking up in the morning. Those with mild symptoms have a decreased appetite and occasional nausea; a few people have obvious symptoms, vomiting whatever they eat, even if they don’t eat. The vomiting is not limited to the morning, and their sense of smell is particularly sensitive, and smelling disgusting odors will cause vomiting.

In the early stages of pregnancy, expectant mothers tend to feel tired and often want to sleep. During the early stages of pregnancy, many women experience general weakness and fatigue, or have no interest in doing things, feel drowsy and lack energy all day long. This is one of the normal reactions in early pregnancy and will naturally improve after 3 months of pregnancy.

Therefore, as long as women can observe carefully, they will find some differences. When the menstrual cycle is prolonged, the body feels tired and sleepy, it is best to buy an early pregnancy test to test whether it is caused by pregnancy. During menstruation, try not to drink cold drinks to reduce menstrual discomfort.
