How to distinguish delayed menstruation from pregnancy

Girls have their menstrual period every month. Women's menstrual periods are generally quite regular, occurring every 28 days. However, some women may experience delayed menstruation due to various reasons. Many women suspect they are pregnant when they find their menstruation is delayed. In fact, there is a huge difference between delayed menstruation and pregnancy. The following is a detailed introduction to the difference between the two.

How does delayed menstruation differ from pregnancy?

1. Get tired very easily. Pregnancy: Pregnant women tend to be more easily tired and always feel that they cannot sleep well. Menstrual period: Although women may feel sleepy during their menstrual period, the condition usually returns to normal within 1 to 2 days, and most of the time it is caused by menstrual pain.

2. Human body temperature. Pregnancy: The human body temperature will continue to rise and remain in the range of 36.9℃~37.2℃, and will only drop after three months. Menstrual period: The body temperature of women of childbearing age may rise by 0.3~0.5℃ after ovulation and return to normal after the menstrual period.

3. Breasts. Pregnancy: The breasts will feel tingling, swelling, itching, the areola will become darker, the veins in the subcutaneous tissue of the breast will be obvious, and the nipples will be more prominent. Menstrual period: There are small nodules in the breasts, which are painful when touched. The pain is relieved after menstruation, but will reappear before the next menstruation.

4. Lower back pain. Pregnancy: Back pain is not common in the early stages of pregnancy, but only occurs in the late stages of pregnancy. Menstrual period: Women generally feel back pain during their menstrual period.

5. Frequent and urgent urination. Pregnancy: When preparing for pregnancy for three months, the bladder is compressed, causing the volume of the bladder to shrink, so there will always be frequent and urgent urination. Menstrual period: It is not easy to have frequent urination or urgency during menstrual period.

How to relieve pregnancy reactions in early pregnancy?

1. Get enough rest and lie down. If you feel like vomiting, why not lie down flat, this method can effectively relieve morning sickness. You can also use a pregnancy pillow to protect your back and stomach and ensure a good sleep.

2. Eat small, frequent meals. Eating small amounts in the morning can help avoid nausea and retching. Keep some nutritious and appetite-stimulating snacks around you, and eat them whenever you feel hungry. This method can reduce morning sickness.

3. Eat more authentic ingredients. In the early stages of pregnancy, you can eat more foods rich in carbohydrates, such as soda crackers, bananas and so on. In addition, rice, plain yogurt, lemon juice, melon, etc. can also reduce morning sickness. Avoid eating high-fat, greasy, spicy, and fried foods, which will irritate your already sensitive digestive tract.

4. Have a snack. Place some simple snacks such as cookies on your bed in the bedroom. When you wake up, eat a few cookies, then rest for 20-30 minutes before waking up. If you wake up at night feeling nauseous, you can also eat some cookies to relieve the feeling.
