How to determine if you are pregnant

Although many families are now actively preparing for pregnancy in order to respond to the two-child policy, in life there are still many girls of childbearing age who do not want to get pregnant. However, they all have a common characteristic, that is, they all want to know one thing, that is, how can they know whether they are pregnant? In fact, when the embryo implants successfully, the feeling it gives people is very common. If you don't observe carefully, you can't tell whether you are pregnant or not.

How to know if you are pregnant

1. No menstrual period

Women have menstruation every month. For women with regular menstruation, if they find that their menstrual period has exceeded the cycle for a week and they have not had a menstrual period without taking any contraceptive methods, then most of the time they are pregnant. You can use an early pregnancy test to check whether it shows a positive result. If two bars appear, it is a sign of pregnancy.

2. Resistance to food

If women of childbearing age do not take any contraceptive measures and feel nauseous and retching when seeing food for no reason, especially in the morning, and the vomiting symptoms are more obvious, and they don’t want to eat or even feel like vomiting when they smell their favorite fried foods, this may be a sign of pregnancy. Medicine calls this reaction an early pregnancy reaction, which usually occurs in the early stages of pregnancy and may disappear automatically after a month.

3. Frequent urination

In the early stages of pregnancy, due to the implantation of the embryo formed by the combination of sperm and egg, the growth of the embryo in the test tube will cause the original uterus to expand and compress the woman's bladder, causing women to urinate frequently. This is also related to the secretion of hCG in women's bodies after pregnancy. The symptoms of frequent urination usually occur in the early and late stages of pregnancy. Therefore, if you want to know whether you are pregnant, you should also pay attention to your normal urination frequency.

4. Feeling hot all the time

Under normal circumstances, the human body temperature is around 36 degrees. However, during the ovulation period, the body temperature of a woman will rise to a certain extent (about 0.5 degrees). If you want to know whether you are pregnant, you can record your body temperature for the month. If the body temperature remains slightly high for more than half a month, and there is no menstrual period, then it can be basically judged that you are pregnant.

5. Soft and swollen breasts

After pregnancy, the hormone level in a woman's body will change to a certain extent. It will secrete a hormone called prolactin, which will cause the woman's breasts to become softer and swollen. This swelling feeling is not like the pain after menstruation, but there is a round and tingling feeling accompanied by the expansion of the breasts, and the color of the areola will become darker. This is also a notable feature of pregnancy.
