When a woman is mentally and emotionally ready to become a mother, the happiest news is the confirmation of her pregnancy. Am I pregnant? This is one big question which pops up even before the start of the next menstrual cycle. Some women may feel pregnant though there will be absolutely no change in their physical form. Of course a missed period is one sure sign of pregnancy, but there are other symptoms too, in the first month itself which signify that a woman is carrying a baby.
Let’s go through a few.
Women often have food cravings. The intense desire to eat sour items or sometimes even non edible items is common. This is also attributed to the rising level of hormones. Some women may even feel repulsed by the food that earlier was a favourite. This is such a sure sign of being pregnant, that in many cases, women tend to go and take a test for pregnancy when they experience nausea regularly.
As a result of being pregnant some women also feel constipated because progesterone relaxes the intestinal muscles thereby slowing the process.
There are chances that many of these symptoms might not even be present for a few women. In a few others, these symptoms start showing a little later, maybe around the 6th week or so.
The initial signs of pregnancy bring about a feeling of delight. In many cases women feel fear especially if it’s their first pregnancy. There are so many uncertainties connected with childbirth. Some also feel frustration at the fact that the journey has just begun and delivery of the baby is still a good 8 months or so away! But nothing can change the fact that this is one experience that completes a woman.
