It is an unsettling time for women and their significant others as
they wait to try to find out if they are pregnant or not. There are many
ways to tell and many tests to take to find out but in most cases a
number of things start to occur in the pregnancy first week. In fact,
sometimes the symptoms that the body starts to go through are the
easiest way to tell whether or not you are pregnant or not. They are
usually pretty obvious (if not severe) and if you just listen to the
changes in your body you will know that you are pregnant if you
experience these symptoms.
One
of the first things that will happen, often in pregnancy first week, is
the way the breasts will feel. The body starts to get flooded with HCG
(which is a hormone) and this increase in HCG will result in the breasts
feeling tender to the touch as well as occasionally they will actually
hurt. For some women there will be a noticeable change in the surface
area of the breast because the veins, usually underneath and not
visible, surface and are more visible to the naked eye. In addition some
women might notice that their nipple is changing in color to a darken
shade.
In the pregnancy first week the body will understand that
changes are needed and prepare for the long journey ahead. This
preparation includes a period of nausea and sometimes vomiting. Although
neither of these is very enjoyable the symptom does tend to go away
over time. Being nauseous is not confined to morning sickness
either. Any woman can be nauseous any time of the day. Some tend to have
it in the morning (most), some in the afternoon, some at night and some
can actually feel it all day long. It is different for different women.
Of
course irritability is part of the story. In the beginning of pregnancy
first week many things hit the body pretty hard. The body is flooded
with all these hormones that it is not use to and this imbalance will
impact moods. It is just the way it goes. Along with this issue, bodily
functions change and constipation as well as frequent urination are
symptoms that most find uncomfortable and annoying. The bladder gets
pressure applied from the expanding uterus leaving the body to feel like
there is a need to go to the bathroom. Sometimes this is a true call
and sometimes it is a false alarm.
During pregnancy first week
another symptom that will occur is spotting. Spotting occurs at the same
time as when the monthly cycle should have started. This timing tends
to throw some women off but most will realize that something is
different when the flow of blood never occurs. The spotting is in fact
caused because the egg is settling into position and adhering to the
endometrial lining. This adherence is what will cause the spotting that
almost all women will experience. Sometimes this spotting is also
accompanied by cramping.
