Pregnancy Signs & Symptoms, Week by Week Pregnancy Guide

After getting pregnant women get interested in symptoms of first month pregnancy. The truth is that you could experience a wide range of different symptoms.

Naturally you could have some spotting and the most obvious symptom is a missed period. In many cases the symptoms are similar to the premenstruation symptoms.

Signs of first month pregnancy

The majority of the symptoms that you experience during this time are caused by the so called pregnancy hormones.

These get produced by the body of the mother starting with the moment when the embryo gets implanted in the uterus.This is the reason for which you experience the symptoms so early.

Spotting

This is a common symptom of pregnancy in the first month. Usually it is light and it is associated with the implantation of the embryo into the lining of the uterus.

Mood swings

These signs of pregnancy in the first month are considered to be the most annoying and most probably they appear when you are supposed to have your period.

Don’t forget that it’s a nonspecific symptom and usually women don’t think that it is a symptom of pregnancy.

Breast tenderness

Although this is something that women experience before their period, this one of the first month pregnancy symptom is usually worse than the usual tenderness.

This is also a confusing symptom. Another thing that you could observe is a darkening of the nipples and having more visible veins.

Abdominal cramps

Just as in the previous case, the first month pregnancy sign is usually more severe than in case of a usual period. Also they usually last longer than the regular cramps that you have.

In case your period is also late, it might be an indication that you are pregnant, but this isn’t always the case.

Frequent urination

Since there is more body fluid, this one of the symptoms of first month pregnancy appears because the kidneys have to work harder to process all the fluids. Also this could be an effect of the pregnancy hormone known as hCG.

Morning sickness

This is a classic one of the pregnancy’s first month symptoms and usually it consists of nausea and vomiting. Although it is known as ‘morning’ sickness, in many cases it lasts longer than just the morning. There are some women who suffer from it the entire day.

Food cravings

The pregnancy’s first month signs means that you find yourself craving foods that most probably you didn’t even like. Also you could be facing food aversions, meaning that in case there were some kinds of foods that you liked before, you may not be able to eat them anymore because of your pregnancy.

Heartburn

This is another one of the signs of pregnancy’s first month and most probably it is caused by the pregnancy hormone known as progesterone.

There are some other symptoms of first month pregnancy as well that you may be facing, and sadly in the majority of the cases there is nothing to do about them.
