Some women check if they are pregnant to see if they experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and desire for acidic foods, which are also early signs of pregnancy. However, everyone exhibits different symptoms. What are the symptoms of early pregnancy?
1. Nausea and vomiting. This is related to the chorionic gonadotropin in the body. At the beginning of pregnancy, the level of chorionic gonadotropin begins to increase, which can easily lead to nausea and vomiting.
2. Breast swelling and pain. After pregnancy, the body produces a lot of estrogen and progesterone, which can stimulate the breasts, make them bigger, and allow them to hold more fluid.
3. Loss of appetite. After pregnancy, the body secretes progesterone, which can lead to a decline in digestive system function, making it easy to experience indigestion or constipation, as well as loss of appetite.
4. Urinary frequency. Due to hormone secretion in pregnant women, the swollen uterus puts pressure on the bladder, and the increased blood flow also puts pressure on the kidneys, resulting in frequent urination.
5. Minor vaginal bleeding. During the implantation of the fertilized egg, there may be slight vaginal bleeding. It usually lasts for about two to three days and there are no other symptoms, so there is no need to worry.
Early pregnancy reactions also vary from person to person. Some people may experience the above reactions, while others may not. And these symptoms will gradually disappear after 12 weeks of pregnancy.
