Spotting in a pink or brownish color similar to the start of menstruation is an early indicator of pregnancy. The spotting is not as heavy as a typical period and occurs because of implantation. If you think conception is a possibility, it is essential that it be confirmed with a test. If the test shows positive and there is still excessive bleeding, a quick trip to the doctor is in order. This can happen because when the embryo attaches itself to the incorrect part of the uterus which can cause complications.
Occasionally there can be tenderness in the breasts. A bloated abdomen or tender breasts can be a signal of pregnancy. Particular care should be noted as these are also symptoms normally associated with pre menstruation. More frequent needs to urinate is also something that should not be ignored and will occur prior to the first missed period. Body temperatures tend to go up after conceiving and will continue until the time of the next expected period.
The bodies’ changes will cause restlessness and extreme fatigue early one in the pregnancy. It is a symptom that can also be confusing because it feels much the same as tiredness from stress or exhaustion. Another early symptom for pregnancy could be cramping in the uterus.
So is there any way to know for sure in the first month? Many of the signs of early pregnancy can easily be associated with other common symptoms and easily mistaken. The only sure-fire way to know is with a pregnancy test.
Once you are aware you are pregnant, you should show additional care in all the things you do. This includes activities that could be a health risk to the baby, such as smoking or the use of alcohol. Being able to identify the early signs of pregnancy is imperative to the healthy development of your child.
