Changes in Your Breasts

A very common sign of a pregnancy has to do with certain changes in your breasts. These changes can include the breasts becoming swollen, sore, or even feeling tender to touch. These changes have to do with the change in a woman's hormone levels after a conception.

Fatigue

Another prime example of a pregnancy is an increase in fatigue. Yes, it's normal to feel tired after a long day at work. However, are you feeling even more fatigued then usual? Are you feeling fatigued on your day off? If you notice an increased level of fatigue, the answer may be a pregnancy.

Morning Sickness

However, unlike what the name suggests, this nausea can take place at all parts of the day. With this nausea, you may also notice unusual cravings, as well as foods that bring nausea at the slightest smell.

Missing A Period

Another very common symptom of a pregnancy. However, you should be cautious before jumping to conclusions over a missed period. There are many different reasons that you could miss a period. You can also experience some level of bleeding during a pregnancy, which may give you the impression that you did not miss a period. When in doubt, always speak to a doctor.

Frequent Urination

Frequent urination is a pregnancy symptom that is often overlooked, but one that you should pay close attention to.
