1. What are the very first signs of pregnancy?

Pregnancy symptoms can start showing within a few weeks of conceiving, i.e. even before you start missing your periods. The very first signs of pregnancy are tender or swollen breasts. Your breasts may also appear fuller and heavier. Slight spotting and bleeding, known as implantation bleeding, is common and occurs because the embryo has attached to the lining of the uterus. This is often confused with regular menstrual cycles but la sts for a much shorter duration.

Other signs may include fatigue, headache, nausea, dizziness, mood swings, food cravings and constipation. Thus, taking a home pregnancy test or better yet, consulting a doctor will help you recognise your pregnancy early on.
