What happens when you are 20 days pregnant?

Many women find out they are pregnant when their menstruation stops. Some find out through early pregnancy test strips, while others find out through ultrasound in the hospital. So what is the reaction when you are just 20 days pregnant? At this time, pregnant women do not have any major reactions. Some women may experience frequent urination or always want to sleep, which is a normal reaction. At this time, some women have already shown early pregnancy symptoms, the most obvious of which is vomiting.

What are the symptoms of pregnancy in the first 20 days?

1. Missed menstruation: The menstrual cycle is usually normal, but menstruation does not come when it should (i.e. amenorrhea), which is a common sign of pregnancy. Of course, delayed menstruation due to high fever, severe anemia, tuberculosis, endocrine diseases, etc. is not included in this scope.

2. Changes in appetite: Appetite changes begin to occur at the same time as the menstrual period is overdue. Symptoms include anorexia, picky eating, preference for spicy and sour food, aversion to greasy food, and vomiting in the morning. In severe cases, the nausea is severe, food and tea are difficult to eat, and vomiting continues.

3. Increased frequency of urination: After 20 days of pregnancy, due to the enlargement of the uterus, it stimulates the bladder and many women experience frequent urination, some once every hour. However, this is a natural phenomenon and does not require treatment.

Symptoms of ectopic pregnancy in 20 days of pregnancy

1. Abdominal pain: The patient has a heavy or severe pain in the lower abdomen, a feeling of defecation, and often has cold sweats. If the affected area ruptures, the patient will suddenly feel tearing pain in one side of the lower abdomen, accompanied by symptoms of nausea and vomiting.

2. Amenorrhea: The early symptoms of ectopic pregnancy can easily be confused with normal early pregnancy reactions. If a pregnant woman experiences amenorrhea and early pregnancy reactions within a short period of time, and sometimes also has lower abdominal pain on one side, and examination reveals that the fallopian tube is normal and enlarged, ectopic pregnancy should be suspected.

3. Vaginal bleeding: Patients with ectopic pregnancy will have symptoms of vaginal bleeding. It should be noted that ectopic pregnancy bleeding is irregular vaginal bleeding that occurs after the death of the embryo. It is dark brown in color and small in amount, generally not exceeding the amount of menstruation. Bleeding is often accompanied by the discharge of decidual tubular or decidual fragments. When the lesion is eliminated, the bleeding may stop completely. The bleeding during menstruation is discharged without decidual tissue.

If expectant mothers experience symptoms such as delayed menstruation, nausea, or increased urination during the pregnancy preparation period, they should not take medicine without authorization. You should go to the hospital immediately for relevant examinations to confirm whether you are pregnant. Expectant mothers in the early stages of pregnancy must be careful in their daily behavior and start to strengthen their nutrition in their diet to ensure the healthy development of the fetus.
