Early Pregnancy Symptoms

The early signs and symptoms of pregnancy vary, and mainly include the following aspects: 1. **Missed period**: This is the most obvious sign of pregnancy. If your menstrual cycle has been regular and you suddenly miss your period for more than five days, you may be pregnant. 2. **Breast changes**: The breasts may become tender and sore, the areolas may darken in color, the breasts may noticeably enlarge and soften, the nipples may increase in size, the areolas and nipples may darken further, and Montgomery's tubercles may appear. 3. **Morning sickness**: Symptoms may include nausea and vomiting, especially more pronounced in the morning. Other symptoms may include changes in appetite, sensitivity to smells, increased fatigue, excessive sleepiness, and emotional fluctuations (such as irritability, anxiety, or depression). 4. **Frequent urination**: Due to the expanding uterus pressing on the bladder, pregnant women may find themselves visiting the bathroom more frequently, especially during early pregnancy. 5. **Light bleeding**: Some women may experience light vaginal bleeding during early pregnancy. This is caused by the rupture of blood vessels in the uterine lining when the fertilized egg implants. The bleeding is usually light and not accompanied by severe discomfort. If you suspect you might be pregnant, it is recommended to take a pregnancy test or consult a doctor promptly.
