Early Signs and Symptoms of Being Pregnant. So you are wondering if you just might be pregnant.  Perhaps for you it would be the best news in the world. Or perhaps it seems not the time- not what you had planned.  Either way, it's good to stay calm, get the information you need, and when it's time, take a pregnancy test.  The store-bought ones are usually acurate, but only a test at a doctor's office is 100%.

Late or Missed Menstrual Period: A symptom of pregnancy

While this symptom seems obvious, it's a little trickier than you might expect.  There can be light bleeding which can be mistaken for a light period. Or a period can be missed without it meaning there is a pregnancy. Missing a period can certainly be a major sign, but it is not always THE sign. 

Morning sickness and pregancy.

A nauseating feeling in the mornings or other times of day can mark the beginning of pregnancy. This can begin 2-8 weeks after conception.

Breast Soreness, swolen, sensitive itchy breasts: Symptom of pregnancy.
Sore, swolen, sensitive breasts are not uncommon before a period. THis symptom generally begins 1 to 2 weeks after conception.  Other causes for swolen, itchy, tender breasts can include hormonal change, oncoming menstruation period, and birth control pills. 

Fatigue, Sleepiness, exaustion  and low energy: Symptom of pregnancy.
Sometimes these symptoms arise from one to six weeks after conception. This is largely caused by high levels of progesterone, the hormone which is secreted during pregnancy. Other possible explanations are a mild virus, stress, and any number of other things that can cause these symptoms. 

Headaches and backaches: Symptoms of pregnancy.

Hormonal changes during pregnancy can lead to headaches. They can begin a couple of weeks after pregnancy and continue throughout. Other causes of headaches may be the cause as well, such as caffeine withdrawal, dehydration, stress, etc.

Darkened Areolas, Darkened Nipples as a sign of being pregnant.

The nipple and the area around it darkens during pregnancy.  This may begin within the first week or two, or begin later. Darkened nipples may not be noticably darker for some time.

A little humor: A Harley mechanic was removing a cylinder head when a famous heart surgeon entered his shop.

The mechanic shouted, "Hey, Doc! Got a minute?"

The surgeon walked over to the mechanic and said, "Sure. What is it?"

The mechanic stood up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, "Doc, look at this engine I open its heart, take out the valves, repair the damage, put it back together and when I'm done, it works like new. We both do basically the same thing. So why do I get paid peanuts while you make the big bucks?"

The surgeon paused, thought a moment and replied, "Try doing it with the engine running!"


A man who had just undergone a very complicated operation kept complaining about a bump on his head and a terrible headache. Since his operation had been an intestinal one, there was no earthly reason why he should be complaining of a headache.

Finally his nurse, fearing that the man might be suffering from some postoperative shock, spoke to the doctor about it.

The doctor assured the nurse, "Don't worry about a thing. He really does have a bump on his head. About halfway through the operation we ran out of anesthetic.
