How to determine whether pregnancy is in the early stages

Women who have had sex can get pregnant, that is, the male sperm and the egg combine to form a sperm-egg combination, and then a new life is created. In the early stages of pregnancy, many women do not realize that they are pregnant. In fact, the human body will have some early pregnancy characteristics. Pregnant mothers can find them if they pay a little attention. So how do you know if it is early pregnancy?

How do you know if you are pregnant in the early stages?

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 enlargement 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 level gradually increases 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 vaginal secretions also increase.

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 soon 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.
