Does a swollen belly mean I’m pregnant?

Under normal circumstances, if a woman is pregnant, her body will have some early pregnancy reactions, but different people have different early pregnancy reactions. Lower abdominal distension and pain does not necessarily mean pregnancy. Most early pregnancy reactions do not include this symptom. If a woman has lower abdominal distension and pain, it may be caused by gynecological diseases. It is best to go to the hospital to find out the cause. Never take medicine privately to avoid aggravating the condition.

Does a bloated belly and hunger mean pregnancy?

A bloated stomach and hunger are not inevitable symptoms of pregnancy, which means that you cannot use this to determine whether you are pregnant. If you suspect you are pregnant, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up to confirm whether you are pregnant or not.

Early pregnancy symptoms

1. Amenorrhea: This is the most obvious symptom. If you do not have your period as scheduled 2 weeks after having sex without contraceptive measures, and if you still do not have your period for more than 5-7 days, you should consider the possibility of pregnancy.

2. Nausea and vomiting: Nausea and vomiting are the most common signs of pregnancy. If you're like most women, morning sickness won't start until about a month after you conceive. A lucky few women go their entire pregnancy without experiencing morning sickness.

3. Your breasts become larger and more sensitive: This feeling of distension and pain is very similar to the feeling you have before your period, but it is more intense. This pregnancy sign will improve significantly after you are 3 months pregnant, by which time your body will have adapted to the hormonal changes during pregnancy.

4. More sensitive to smells: You may not be able to stand the smell of cooking fumes or tea leaves, and some scents will even make you nauseous. This sign of pregnancy may be caused by a rapid increase in estrogen in your body.

5. Fatigue: You may suddenly feel tired or even exhausted. No one knows exactly what causes fatigue symptoms in early pregnancy, but rapidly increasing progesterone levels may make you feel extra sleepy.

6. Implantation bleeding: a small amount of vaginal bleeding. Some women experience light vaginal bleeding around day 11-12 after conception, around the time you notice you've missed your period. This vaginal bleeding may be caused by the fertilized egg implanting in the blood-rich endometrium, a process that begins about 6 days after fertilization.

7. Bloating: Hormonal changes in early pregnancy may make you feel bloated.

8. Frequent urination: During pregnancy, the amount of blood and other fluids in your body increases, resulting in more fluid being processed by the kidneys and discharged into the bladder as urine.

9. Basal body temperature remains high: If you record your basal body temperature and find that your basal body temperature is high for 18 consecutive days, you are likely pregnant.
