signs of early pregnancy!!! taken from the net! a good list!!?

Q: I am overdue for my period and experiencing cramping, headaches, pimples, fatigue, gas, going to the toilet more often and many other symptoms, Yet i am unsure whether i am just due for my period or could i be pregnant.. I am only at the 4-5 wk mark so have no real clue as yet! I came across the list below on the net! Thought this might answer a few Q’s in regards to the symptoms and the ppe who ask could they actually be pregnant or not this month!You may start noticing pregnancy symptoms and/or be able to detect pregnancy after implantation, which occurs from around 7-10 days post ovulation. If you have conceived, the embryo starts to produce hCG after implantation and not before, so it is not possible to detect pregnancy or have pregnancy symptoms before this time. So the longer you wait to test after ovulation, the more accurate the result will be and the darker the potential positive test line may be. Pregnancy testing should ideally be done from the day your period would have been due.What Pregnancy Symptoms Might I Experience?Below is a list of pregnancy symptoms which you may find signal pregnancy for your own body. Remember, every woman and every pregnancy is different, so there’s no need to panic if you don’t have all of the listed pregnancy symptoms. I had absolutely no noticable symptoms (apart from not having a period) with my second pregnancy until 11 weeks.High BBT (Basal Body Temperature)If you regularly chart your cycle and take your temperatures, you will notice that your BBT will remain high throughout your luteal phase. Progesterone causes your BBT to rise upon ovulation and stay elevated should you be pregnant. If you are not pregnant, your BBT will drop right down and you’ll get your period as normal.Missed / No PeriodOne of the first pregnancy symptoms you may notice is that your period does not arrive. While this symptom is one we most commonly associate with pregnancy, there may be other reasons why a period hasn’t arrived, for example high levels of stress, major illness or surgery. On the other hand, it’s possible to continue to have your periods during pregnancy. Some women may bleed for just a few months or even their whole pregnancy. (See our topic on Bleeding in Pregnancy for more information).Morning SicknessAnother well known pregnancy symptom is morning sickness. Don’t let it’s name fool you – morning sickness can pay you a visit any time of day, so make sure you eat enough and avoid letting your blood sugar levels drop. Ginger is a great natural remedy for nausea so it’s worth a try, although some women find that nothing seems to help their morning sickness, which normally hangs around for the first trimester before getting better or if you are unlucky, the second trimester or even whole pregnancy. (See our topic on Common Pregnancy Ailments for more information).Breast ChangesFrom very early on in pregnancy a symptom you may notice is changes in your breasts, including:•Nipples may be tender and sensitive – some women describe their nipples to be irritatingly sensitive! •Breast may be sore and / or lumpy •Nipples may deepen in colour •Veins may become more noticeable and enlarged in the breast area •Areolas may darken (circles around your nipples) •The little ‘bumps’ on your areolas (Montgomery’s Tubercles) may increase and / or enlargenIncreased Cervical MucusA surge in progesterone often results in a surge of creamy cervical mucus production. Some women may notice a little, and some notice much more.FatigueWhen you first become pregnant, your metabolism steps up a few gears in order to support your developing baby as well as your own body, which creates one big workload! You may become so immensely tired that you feel that you need to sleep more than usual. Not only that, but the hormone progesterone which is required in high levels during pregnancy has a sedating effect. No wonder you feel so very tired! If you need to rest or sleep, don’t fight your body – it needs it!Frequent UrinationAs soon as a week after conception, you may notice yourself dashing off to the toilet more often, only to find that you’re urinating small amounts! This happens because the embryo starts to secrete the pregnancy hormone hCG, which signals for the blood supply to increase in the pelvic area. This results in the bladder becoming irritable and it passes even small amounts of urine. You may find you will wake in the night to urinate more often than usual.CrampingThis symptom of early pregnancy can also be an unnerving one for parents-to-be, as often there is a fear of miscarriage. However even when not pregnant, your uterus is continually contracting. When pregnant, the foetus grows and pushes against the walls of your uterus, which causes it to contract – this is very normal.If the cramping is accompanied by bleeding, see your doctor who can assess the situation to see if you may be having a miscarriage. However do ni took a home pregnancy test a couple days ago but did it in the arvo.. showed neg… i think i will go to the drs this week if i keep feeling like i amI guess my Main symptoms atm, are i – have cramping, tonight its been constantly ever since i got home from work.. – i am going to the toilet to urinate More often! – i am getting pimples- more tired- hot flushes- cranky- gone off smell of coffee and often feel ill after drinking it think this is about it! still thinking could it all be in my head or is my period around the corner.. am doubtful as the test i did here turned out neg!

A: With my first pregnancy, somehow I “knew” I was pregnant. I felt fuller in my pelvic region (it was not like my stomach was full or anything), but I had only a handful of other symptoms. Going to the bathroom often is one, but it is a bit misleading – its sometimes not such a huge ‘urge’ to go like they describe in books. My basal temperature was higher, but you have to use a Basal thermometer to see it (and you need to have taken your temperature daily before getting pregs too so you can compare).With my second, I had major fatigue right away, but no ‘feeling’ or anything. I found out I was pregnant a few days after being extremely tired (like falling asleep during dinner tired!).Take a test – you are past your period due date, so you should get a very accurate reading.

i just heard about a pregnancy miracle!!heres the story? read please its amazing?

Q: okay there’s this lady who was like 20 yrs oldshe missed here period in january and missed her February periodand started to have pregnancy symptomsshe took an hpt test & it came out negative.a month later she took another hpt test and again neg.im not sure if she took any blood tests or not but i know that at around april the doctor wanted an abdominal complete ultrasound of course he asked her if there was a chance of her being pregnant and she said no there’s no possible way. by then she had gained about 5 pounds. she had such a small tiny little bump that it was barely noticable ( looked like a baby bump) she just thought it was bloating or gas or something. she thought that a 3-4 month pregnant women would look bigger then that. of course in the beginning she weighed 96 lb. and she is 5’2. they did an ultrasound and found nothing. so they put her as abnormal bloating. from then on she started to eat a lot and she ate healthy foods too and took vitamins. by august she had gained 25 pounds. she gained one cup size and her hips had gotten bigger. she also want from a size 1 in juniors pants to a 5. still she had no reason to believe there was a slight possibility she was pregnant. about a week ago she was experiencing intense back pain. she had been complaining about back pain for 2 or 3 months but never this bad. she then started having intense cramps at first she tried to sleep it off. then woke up in so much pain that she told her friend who was with her at the time to take her to the er. she thought it was appendicitis. she used to bathroom before leaving and blood spilt everywhere. she was even more terrified. her friend carried her to the car with her neighbors help and drove her to the hospital. by the time she got there she was in so much pain she didn’t want to move but she pushed her self to walk inside. the nurse immediately took her to get checked. she told her how bad the pain was and that it was like stabbing and shooting through her pelvis and back and it hurts to bad. and her abdomen feels like its being stabbed by a knife. the doctor asked if she was preg. she said no of course. they got her an ultrasound and to everyone’s surprise they found a baby and they said she was about full term and she was in active labor. they checked her and she was at 8 cm dilated. one hour later she delivered a baby girl who she named ariella. she was 7 lb 0.6 oz and 18.9 inches long. the doctor estimated her to be about 37 weeks. i knew the lady. everyone noticed she had gained some weight. she used to be so thin but her belly wasn’t like a pregnant woman especially a full term pregnant woman. her belly was bigger but not like potrueding. how did the other ultrasound not catch the baby. and not this isn’t a joke its real. but she wanted to keep it private so that why she didn’t want to feature her story on the news. its only known by the hospital and her family and friends and church members. i don’t understand. how could she not know? how could that ultrasound technician not know?and this isn’t a troll question okay. its 100% the truth.

A: My mom worked with a 17 yearold who had sex once and protection was used. she was missing her period and took a pregnancy test which said negative(only one). she went to the doctors after missing her third period, and also did an ultrasound. there was nothing there. just for the sake of it she went to the doctors and asked for a pregnancy test again since doctors tests or more stronger then hpt. nothing showed up. she did start gaining weight. after missing her 7th period she got use to it and forgot she ever had a period in her life. she started complaining about fluid constantly leaking and told my mom the she keeps peeing herself and has been having extreme cramping for 4 days and never showed up for work after that. she gave birth to a baby girl 7 months pregnant. the baby died unfortunately but it does happen.

I’ve gotta to get an idea, miscarriage or…?

Q: This is the scenario: A girl who has been told she was close to a miscarriage,who is 10 weeks pregnant has bad pelvic pain and cramping for 2 weeks straight. One day she spots, (wiped herself and saw blood) red blood. Cramps persist.Then she starts bleeding for the next 4 days it goes up and down in intensity. At times light and at times heavy. Cramping persists. Pregnancy symptoms start decreasing. The 5th day she starts bleeding heavier and the cramps are much worse, she passes chunks of blood, or blood clots. On the 6th day there is light bleeding with cramping as it has been. On the night of this 6th day, the bleeding stops while the cramps persist. On the 7th day there is slight cramping and no bleeding.So why did she stop bleeding? does this mean the miscarriage has happened and is now completed, or rather does it mean it is not going to happen? In other words, is she somehow all of a sudden out of the clear and the miscarriage just stopped and the baby is ok or simply did the miscarriage finish and run its course? Or is there more bleeding to come? Im only confused because she is 10 weeks and I would think she would bleed for more than at least 6 days. Then again she is a very small girl at 5’0 100 pounds. How do you know if the blood clots are part of the baby? at 10 weeks how big would the clots be? she said they weren’t too big. also i just find it weird that she would just…. not bleed anymore all of a sudden and decrease cramping drastically. I guess i just wanna hear what some experienced women and helpful people have to say. I apologize ahead of time for posting so much. Thank you and god bless.

A: Dude, this is like, the 9th time you’ve asked this.You just asked this within the past hour.You’re gotten TONS of answers from medical professionals, and lots of women who have been there. I don’t know what more you want.Any time you pass clots during pregnacy, you’re supposed to go straight to the ER.Only THEY can tell you what is going on with her body.If you’re unwilling to do that fine, just stop spamming up the boards tonight.It’s one thing to ask twice, if you got one or 2 responses the first time.But this is unnecessaryIf you’re concerned about your girlfriend, GET YOUR GIRLFRIEND TO A HOSPITAL.
