Understanding the signs of early pregnancy correctly helps women welcome the good news of their ordination
1. Tingling stomach pain or / and hematoma
From week 1 to 4, after successful fertilization, the embryo forms and moves to nest on the uterus. The implantation of the embryo leads to the sloughing off of the uterine lining, causing blood spots (also known as fetal blood ) and accompanying dark abdominal pain.
2. Loss of menstruation
When the fetus begins to form, the body automatically produces levels of HCG (gonadotropin hormone secreted from the placenta). This hormone helps the body nourish and maintain pregnancy. With this natural mechanism, after conception, the ovaries will stop releasing eggs for the next experience cycle.
You should use a pregnancy test to find out if you are pregnant or not as soon as you find out that you are late, and you have had sex without using safe methods.
3. Fatigue
The body gets tired easily during pregnancy. Especially this early symptom of pregnancy is very common. This is due to the spike in your progesterone hormone levels, which makes you tired. Try to get plenty of rest, get enough sleep and eat a nutritious diet to keep mom and baby healthy.

4. Morning sickness
Nausea or folk, also known as morning sickness, is a classic early pregnancy phenomenon and a nightmare of pregnant mothers. During the first 3 months, many women experience severe to mild morning sickness, but it usually gets worse in the second trimester.
The cause of the nausea during pregnancy isn't known at this time, but many studies suggest it could be hormonal.

5. Chest changes: throbbing pain, a stinging sensation and increasing in size
Women can clearly feel the change in breasts. Due to the rapidly changing hormones, the breasts of a pregnant mother will be large, soft, or may be painful or itchy.
Breast changes are also a very early sign of pregnancy. Due to the rapidly changing hormones, the pregnant woman's breasts become enlarged, tender, and feel full and may be painful or itchy for 1 to 2 weeks.
The nipple change will happen around week 11. Hormones will keep your breasts growing. The areola - the area around the nipples - tends to become darker and larger than usual.
6. Pee several times
Frequent and incontinence urination in early pregnancy also happens to pregnant women. During pregnancy, your body must pump a lot of blood. This causes your kidneys to process more fluids than usual, leading to your bladder being filled with more fluid. Make the kidneys work harder.
Frequent defecation is also a notable early sign of pregnancy
7. Flatulence or constipation
Hormonal changes slow down your digestive system. As a result, you may feel constipated. And constipation can also increase feelings of bloating.
8. High blood pressure and dizziness
In most cases, pregnant women with normal or high blood pressure can drop in the early stages of pregnancy. This can also cause a feeling of dizziness, as the blood vessels dilate.
If the blood pressure rises within the first 20 weeks, there may be underlying problems in the body.
9. Sensitive to odors and foods
Pregnant women will become more sensitive to certain odors around the environment and food. This odor sensitivity can cause nausea and vomiting.
10. Increase body temperature
Normally, your body temperature will increase during exercise or when it is hot. But when you are pregnant, you will also feel this change.
11. Increased heart rate
Around 8-10 weeks, due to hormonal changes, your heart may start beating faster and harder, leading to palpitations and arrhythmias. If you have had heart problems, pregnant women should see a doctor for more careful monitoring.
12. Constant mood swings
A woman's estrogen and progesterone levels increase during pregnancy. This increase can affect mood and cause emotions to change quite quickly. We call fun the mood "morning, sun, rain". This phenomenon of early pregnancy should not be underestimated, as it can also lead to pregnancy depression.
Pregnant mothers are very easy to change emotions during pregnancy
13. Pimples
During pregnancy, increased blood volume and higher hormone levels push more blood through the blood vessels. This causes the oil glands on the body to work more often than usual, causing your skin to secrete more oil, leading to acne.
Motherhood is sacred in a woman's life. Women expecting a baby are many times more impatient. Understanding yourself, mastering the knowledge and early pregnancy signs will help you somewhat ease anxiety and quickly know the appearance of the little angel.
