Early symptoms of having children

What are the symptoms of early pregnancy? Experts say the most obvious symptom in early pregnancy is the cessation of menstruation. In addition, pregnant women may also experience symptoms such as breast tenderness, frequent urination, and mild vaginal bleeding. Some pregnant women also experience nausea, headache, dizziness, and irritability. If you find the above symptoms, you should conduct a pregnancy test in time, because you may already be pregnant.

1. End of menstrual period

If a couple has sexual intercourse around the ovulation period and does not use any contraceptive measures, and their menstrual cycles are normal, but suddenly there is amenorrhea for more than 5 days, they may be pregnant.

2. Nausea and retching

Many pregnant women will experience morning sickness starting around the 5th week of pregnancy. Nausea and vomiting occur particularly in the morning, afternoon and evening, and vomiting occurs without any reason. The cause of morning sickness is not yet clear, but data show that it may be related to human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in the human body. In the early stages of pregnancy, the level of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in the body begins to rise. The higher the level of this hormone, the more likely you are to feel nauseous.

3. Breast pain and tenderness

After one or two months of pregnancy, your breasts will become larger and softer. Due to the stimulation of pregnancy, the pregnant woman's body will produce a large amount of estrogen and corpus luteum, which will cause the breast ducts to begin to grow and develop, so the breasts will enlarge. This growth hormone will also continue to allow the breasts to store large amounts of fluid, so the breasts will become more and more sore and soft.

4. Excessive leucorrhea

During pregnancy, the body's estrogen levels gradually increase as the pregnancy progresses. Estrogen can promote the secretion of mucus in the glandular ducts of the cervix and uterine wall. The blood volume in the private parts, vagina, and cervix of pregnant women is abundant, and tissue water increases, so secretions also increase, and blood flow also increases.

5. Mild vaginal bleeding

The combination of sperm and egg will implant the embryo in the uterus within 6-12 days after pregnancy. At this time, the pregnant woman may have mild vaginal bleeding. If this happens, if the vaginal bleeding is mild and there are no serious discomfort symptoms, pregnant women do not need to worry, as it is a normal physiological need when the embryo is implanted and does not harm the body. Implantation bleeding is mainly manifested as a small amount of blood or blood spots, which can be seen several times a day. The bleeding lasts for about three days, and there is no discomfort during menarche. Embryo implantation bleeding needs to be distinguished from menstrual period to prevent pregnant women from being pregnant without knowing it.

6. Poor appetite

Loss of appetite may occur as early as 2 weeks into your pregnancy. Since the metabolism of flavonoids will reduce the functions of many human systems to a certain extent, the body's digestive tract function will also be affected, which may sometimes cause constipation and indigestion.

7. Physical fatigue

During early pregnancy, some women's bodies secrete a growth hormone that acts like a local anesthetic. Its main component is lutein copper, which mainly functions in the uterus. This substance relaxes the muscles of the uterus, preventing premature pain, thereby allowing the fetus to grow smoothly. But this corpus luteum copper will increase your basal body temperature, so you may lack energy. And your heart rate will increase to provide more CO2 to the uterus, so you may feel very tired.

8. Frequent and urgent urination

You may think that the symptom of frequent urination and urgency will not come so early, and it should appear when the fetus can be squeezed into the bladder, but in fact this symptom may appear in the early stages of pregnancy. Frequent urination and urgency in early pregnancy are mainly caused by changes in the body's testosterone. Not only does the expanded uterus put pressure on the bladder, but the increase in blood volume also puts pressure on the kidneys, resulting in increased urine.

9. Bad Temper

If you find yourself crying for a small plot in a TV series, don't feel strange. This may be related to the male hormones secreted during pregnancy, and you may be able to cry or laugh in an instant.

10. Edema, leg cramps and back pain

Many women mistake this condition for premenstrual syndrome, but in fact it is caused by changes in male hormones and the growth of the uterus.

11. Dizziness

Because your body temperature will rise due to the secretion of growth hormone, you may easily feel dizzy. It takes a little longer than normal for blood to flow to the brain. Hypoglycemia is also a major cause of dizziness.

12. Headache

Some women experience frequent headaches during early pregnancy. In addition to the factors of growth hormone metabolism, headaches may also be caused by insufficient water intake and hypoglycemia. But as the pregnancy progresses, the headaches will gradually subside.
