What are the early signs of pregnancy? There are various symptoms that can indicate you might be pregnant. These early signs of pregnancy differ from woman to woman, and from pregnancy to pregnancy. If you are pregnant, you may notice one or more of these symptoms. Don't worry, you are unlikely to get them all at once. Equally, you shouldn't worry if you don't experience any of them. It's perfectly possible to be pregnant without noticing any of these signs of pregnancy. Whether you get any of these first signs of pregnancy or none of them at all, the only way to find out for sure whether or not you are pregnant is to take a pregnancy test. Missed period If you have a regular menstrual cycle, this is often the earliest physical sign. Bear in mind that you can get a little light bleeding or spotting around the time of your period even if you are pregnant, and when the fertilised egg implants in your womb. If your cycles aren't regular you may notice other pregnancy symptoms before you notice a missed period. Some women find that after having had a completely regular cycle for a number of years, they may then not have a period for a significant length of time. The first thing to do if this happens is to rule out pregnancy, by doing a home pregnancy test. The medical term for missing your periods for more than 6 months is ‘amenorrhoea’. There are lots of reasons why your periods may suddenly stop, including putting on or losing weight very quickly, excessive exercise and stress. If you find that you are having hot flushes and a decreased interest in sex, it might be that you have the first signs of the menopause (peri-menopause). Whatever your symptoms, see your doctor if your regular periods change or stop. Answers from our Experts Mrs Caroline Overton is a consultant in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at St Michael’s University Hospital in Bristol Is it normal to still have periods during pregnancy? Mrs Caroline Overton : No, you should not be having periods during pregnancy. Bleeding in early pregnancy can be normal, but can also be a sign of a threatened early loss. You should consult your doctor if concerned I know that if you test early (before your period) it's less accurate - I just got a 'Pregnant' result but my period isn’t due just yet - can I trust the result? Mrs Caroline Overton : If you have tested before your period is due and got a 'Pregnant' result this is very accurate and you can rely on the result. This means the level of pregnancy hormone was high enough to be detected. Changes in your breasts Your breasts might grow larger and feel tender or highly sensitive. The veins on your breasts may become more noticeable and your areola (nipples) may darken. My test said 'pregnant' but I don't feel pregnant - how can I be sure? Mrs Caroline Overton : Not all women will suffer from pregnancy symptoms, such as morning sickness. Look out for breast tenderness (which may be intermittent) as this is the symptom that is most commonly reported. However all pregnancies are different so do not worry. Am I pregnant? At Clearblue we believe that when a woman suspects she might be pregnant she needs a result she can be confident in and act on. That is why all Clearblue pregnancy tests deliver over 99% accuracy from the day of your expected period. Find out with Clearblue Pregnancy Tests Tiredness You are likely to feel unusually tired in the first few weeks of pregnancy. This could be due to the rising levels of progesterone in your body as it maintains the lining of your womb to help support the pregnancy. Feeling sick/Morning sickness You could start feeling sick, and even vomit, between the 2nd to the 8th week of pregnancy. This usually passes by the 16th week. Although this is often called 'morning sickness' it can happen at any time of the day or night – and can even affect you all the time. I feel very sick and am struggling to eat, will this affect my baby? Mrs Caroline Overton : No, your baby will take what it needs from your body. When suffering from morning sickness make sure that you drink plenty of water and try to eat little and often. Acupressure bands may help. Vomiting and nausea during pregnancy affects up to 8 out of 10 pregnant women. When can I take a pregnancy test? If you think you might be pregnant, you want to know right away. Hyperemesis gravidarum Around one in 100 pregnant women could suffer from hyperemesis gravidarum. Normally continuing well past the first trimester (12 to 13 weeks), hyperemesis gravidarum causes vomiting so often and severe that no food or liquid can be kept down. Usually, the condition can be treated and only in very rare cases will cause complications for the pregnancy, but please seek doctor advice if you are suffering from severe sickness. Mrs Caroline Overton : Hyperemesis gravidarum is extreme nausea and vomiting and can be potentially life-threatening. If you are worried, consult with your GP. Anti-sickness medication can be prescribed by your doctor but will only be recommended for women suffering from dehydration - symptoms include a very dry mouth and concentrated urine (dark yellow in colour). Going to the toilet more often About 6 to 8 weeks after conception you may need to urinate more frequently. This is due to your uterus (the medical term for your womb) growing larger and pressing on your bladder. At the end of the first trimester your uterus rises up into your abdomen which will takes some of this pressure off your bladder. Mood swings Your changing hormones may cause some mood swings in the early stages of pregnancy – you could even find yourself crying without really knowing why. Changing tastes in food (cravings) and sensitivity to smells You may go off certain things like tea, coffee or fatty food and might start to crave things you don't normally like. You might feel queasy when you smell certain things too – like coffee, meat or alcohol. Cramps You may get cramps in your legs or feet in the first trimester, and sometimes later in your pregnancy. This is due to changes in the way your body processes calcium. How will I know if my pregnancy is progressing normally? My friend had an ectopic pregnancy and I'm worried this could happen to me too? Mrs Caroline Overton : An ectopic pregnancy is when the pregnancy develops outside the uterus. 99% of pregnancies are normally located in the uterus; however ectopic pregnancies can affect any woman. Be aware that ectopic pregnancy can present with a variety of symptoms. Not all women experience symptoms. Initial ectopic pregnancy symptoms could be pain (requiring more than a mild painkiller like paracetamol to relieve) and bleeding. If the ectopic pregnancy is rupturing you may experience a generalised tummy pain which is often associated with shoulder tip pain. Other reported symptoms include pain on passing urine, pain when opening your bowels or pain when walking. If you experience these symptoms you should seek immediate medical attention. If you have had a previous ectopic pregnancy the National Institute of Clinical Excellence has advised that you may self refer to an Early Pregnancy Clinic where you can obtain expert advice and scanning. You need an ultrasound scan to confirm the location of the pregnancy.

Mjesečnica vam je izostala ili kasni? Što drugo potražiti. Razni simptomi ukazuju da ste moždi trudni. Oni se razlikuju od žene do žene te od trudnoće do trudnoće. Ako ste trudni, možete primijetiti jedan ili više sljedećih simptoma. Nemojte se brinuti, vjerojatno nećete imati sve simptome odjednom. Jednako tako ne trebate se brinuti ako nemate nikakve simptome. Sasvim je moguće biti trudna bez primjećivanja bilo kojeg od sljedećih znakova trudnoće. Izostala mjesečnica Ako imate redovite cikluse mjesečnice, ovo je često najraniji tjelesni znak. Imajte na umu da možete lagano krvariti ili primijetiti točkice krvi u vrijeme očekivane mjesečnice čak i ako ste trudni i kada se oplođeno jajašce ugradi u vašu maternicu. Ako vaši ciklusi nisu redoviti, možete primijetiti druge simptome trudnoće prije nego što primijetite izostanak mjesečnice. Drugi simptomi Umor Vjerojatno ćete osjećati neuobičajen umor tijekom prvih nekoliko tjedana trudnoće. To može biti uslijed povećanja razine progesterona u vašem tijelu budući da on održava oblaganje maternice kako bi potpomogao trudnoću. Mučnina/jutarnja mučnina Možete početi osjećati mučninu, i čak povraćati, između 2. i 8. tjedna trudnoće. To obično prođe do 16. tjedna. Iako se to često naziva 'jutarnjom mučninom', mučninu možete osjećati u bilo koje vrijeme tijekom dana ili noći – a može potrajati i sve vrijeme. Hyperemesis gravidarum (trudnička hiperemeza) Otprilike jedna od 100 trudnica može patiti od trudničke hiperemeze (hyperemesis gravidarum). Hyperemesis gravidarum traje nakon provog tromjesečja (12 do 13 tjedana) i uzrokuje toliko često i teško povraćanje da tijelo ne zadržava nikakvu hranu ni tekućinu. Obično se stanje može liječiti i samo će u rijetkim slučajevima uzrokovati komplikacije trudnoće, ali ipak potražite savjet liječnika ako patite od teške mučnine. Promjene u vašim grudima Vaše se grudi mogu povećati i mogu postati nježne i vrlo osjetljive. Vene na vašim grudima mogu postati izražajnije, a vaše areole (bradavice) tamnije. Češće mokrenje Oko 6 do 8 tjedana nakon začeća, možda ćete imati potrebu za češćim mokrenjem. Do toga dolazi uslijed povećanja uterusa (maternice) i njezinog pritiska na mokraćni mjehur. Na kraju prvog tromjesečja maternica se podiže prema trbuhu što će olakšati pritisak na vaš mokraćni mjehur. Promjene raspoloženja Hormoni koji se mijenjaju u vašem tijelu mogu uzrokovati neke promjene raspoloženja u ranim fazama trudnoće – možda se čak zateknete kako plačete bez pravog razloga. Promjene prehrambenih navika (jake želje) i osjetljivost na mirise Možda prestanete konzumirati određene stvari kao što su čaj, kava ili masna hrana i možda počnete osjećati jaku želju za stvarima koje obično ne volite. Možda također osjetite nelagodu ako osjetite miris određenih stvari – kao što su kava, meso ili alkohol. Grčevi Možda dobijete grčeve u nogama ili stopalima tijekom prvog tromjesečja, a ponekad i kasnije tijekom trudnoće. Do toga dolazi uslijed promjena u načinu na koji vaše tijelo obrađuje kalcij. Bilo da dobijete sve ove simptome ili nijedan od njih, jedini način da sigurno saznate jeste li trudni je da provedete test za utvrđivanje trudnoće. Svi testovi Clearblue za utvrđivanje trudnoće pouzdani su više od 99 % od dana vaše očekivane mjesečnice. Oni su pouzdani, brzi i jednostavni za uporabu. Svi testovi Clearblue toliko su osjetljivi da ih možete upotrebljavati 5 dana prije vaše izostale mjesečnice. Neplanirana trudnoća Ako ste se već testirali, možda ste saznali da ste trudni, a to nije bio željeni rezultat. U tom slučaju, važno je da ste svjesni mogućnosti koje su vam dostupne. Zapamtite da niste sami – svakoga dana stotine žena se susreće s istom situacijom i, uz pravi savjet i podršku, mogu odlučiti o najprikladnijem rješenju. Trebate razgovarati sa zdravstvenim djelatnikom što je prije moguće. Razmislite o zakazivanju pregleda kod svojeg liječnika.
