How Can I Tell If I Am Pregnant



Summary: Am I pregnant? Was the most typed in question when the Internet was in its early stages about ten years ago? That tells us a lot about our society. It means that women demand accurate information about their bodies, either because they desperately want a child or they desperately don’t. many internet sites do not explain accurately the whole case scenarios and just give a short answer which often means their readers leave more perplexed than when they arrived.

Could I be pregnant?

When trying for a baby many women are faced with the question “Can I be pregnant?” It is questions that they want an early answer to especially if they have been trying for a baby for a long time. Signs of pregnancy are no means standard, some women just know at the time of conception despite the fact that the symptoms of conception are not standard. One of the most common symptoms in all women is a feeling of being nauseous not necessarily being sick but a sort of bilious that throw air back up from the stomach.

Many women have a bad taste in their mouth immediately and a lot of smokers say that cigarettes taste differently immediately they become bitter and unpleasant. The bad taste often forces women to stop smoking for the duration of their pregnancy.  In fact the ancient Egyptians had no reliable test for pregnancy, but they fed a woman dates and alcohol. If she was sick quickly then the chances were high that she was pregnant.

Listed below are some of the common symptoms of pregnancy though please be aware that some women experience none of them. Food cravings can for some women be a sign of pregnancy, but it is by itself no means definitive, they can be mental cravings or if they really are physical they may signify that your body is short of a nutrient. However food craving accompanied by another physical symptom increases the chances of you being pregnant. Once human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) hormone is produced some women experience an increase in urination.

One of the most telltale sign of early pregnancy is exhaustion or extreme tiredness, caused by a huge hike in the progesterone levels. Large doses of progesterone acts to make you fall asleep and pregnant women often struggle to keep their eyes open after mid afternoon. However it is not just the levels of progesterone at the same time, your body is increasing its production of blood and that is draining. Also the blood sugar levels drop as do blood pressure so it is quite for newly pregnant women to fell as though they run a marathon. Although if tiredness is the only symptom on its own it does not necessarily mean anything.

Many women have a change in their breasts, the level of discomfort increases as the hormonal changes of pregnancy start kicking in, however as many women feel discomfort in their breasts as a symptom of their menstrual cycle then it is not indicative of anything. Some women find that the areolas darken that is the skin immediately surrounding the nipple, but again on its own it is not a sure sign because it can be changed by other hormonal imbalances not connected to the endocrinal changes of pregnancy. In some women they feel heavier, but they can during a period as well.

The early few weeks of pregnancy can be a frustrating for a woman dying to know if she is pregnant but there are no sure signs, but if you have several of the signs together, a brown spotting a dull pain in the abdomen and you have developed a metallic taste and gone off your favorite food then there is a good chance that you will be in the market for diapers in the coming nine months. Whilst some women do feel nauseous it is unlikely that this will develop into full blown morning sickness until you are a few more weeks pregnant. Some women miss out on morning sickness at all and never have it whilst others are unfortunate and they have it morning noon and night all the way through there pregnancy.
