1. Spotting or Cramping: In the first week of pregnancy, it is in fact fairly common to experience a little bleeding or some cramps. This arises because of the fertilized egg becoming implanted into the uterine wall. Unfortunately, many women see this spotting as a period and continue on with their day-to-day activities.
2. Missed Period: This is a more telltale sign that you are pregnant but, again, sometimes the first period occurs like it would if you weren't pregnant. In other cases, a period is simply lighter than usual or doesn't last as long as it typically would.
3. Swollen Breasts: This symptom comes on pretty quickly and is definitely a clear sign of pregnancy. Some women get swollen breasts within days of pregnancy but it is important to note that any tenderness or soreness of the breasts is also an indication of pregnancy even if said breasts are not swollen. Either way, such tenderness is also a sign of an imminent period. Therefore, if your breasts feel swollen but you missed your period, you can bet that something strange is afoot.
4. Tiredness: Like swollen breasts, tiredness can arise quickly after conception, with many women feeling fatigue within days of conception. This is a bit harder to detect as a sign of pregnancy, though, because many people can feel tired simply from their day-to-day activities.
5. Morning Sickness: This is definitely one of the more stereotypical signs of pregnancy, and for good reason. Feeling nauseas or vomiting frequently means either you're suffering from the king of all hangovers or you're a mother-to-be. Let's just hope that option A isn't a possibility. All the same, many women don't experience any kind of morning sickness when they are expecting. For those that do, however, it will usually come about from the second week on, lasting through the first trimester.
6. Backache: This isn't always an indication of pregnancy, as millions of people suffer from back pain worldwide. When it arises in an otherwise healthy back, though, you can bet that it is the result of hormones being created within your body due to pregnancy.
7. Headache: Like a backache, a headache can be the result of increased hormone production in your body. Headaches are even more common than backaches, though, and you should only worry about pregnancy if you are exhibiting one or more of the other symptoms on this list.
Later on, you'll experience some more symptoms that are more attributable to later stages of pregnancy like food cravings, frequent urination, or the darkening of the areolas. Until then, you would do well to consult a home pregnancy test or a blood test if you are noticing more than one of these symptoms mentioned above.
