An unexpected pregnancy can bring up fears and concerns you’ve never experienced before. You are not alone. We’re here to support you during this challenging season and offer the clarity and confidence you need to move forward.
Common Pregnancy Symptoms
Did you miss your period, or do you have random mood swings all of a sudden? These are some of the common pregnancy symptoms to look out for.
The Mayo Clinic shares the following pregnancy symptoms you may be experiencing right now:
- Missed period. If you’re in your childbearing years and a week or more has passed without the start of an expected menstrual cycle, you might be pregnant. However, this symptom can be misleading if you have an irregular menstrual cycle.
- Tender, swollen breasts. Early in pregnancy, hormonal changes might make your breasts sensitive and sore. The discomfort will likely decrease after a few weeks as your body adjusts to these changes.
- Nausea with or without vomiting. Morning sickness, which can occur at any time of the day or night, often begins one to two months after you become pregnant. Some women feel nauseated earlier, and some never experience it.
- Increased urination. You may be running to the bathroom more frequently than normal. The amount of blood in your body increases during pregnancy, causing your kidneys to process extra fluid that ends up in your bladder.
- Fatigue. Fatigue is also a common early symptom of pregnancy. A rapid rise in the levels of the hormone progesterone during early pregnancy might contribute to fatigue.
If you’re experiencing one or more of these symptoms, confirm your pregnancy with a lab quality pregnancy test and ultrasound at Bella. Ultrasound will provide you with vital details about your pregnancy, including location, viability, and estimated gestational age.
