Missed or delayed menstruation? What else needs to be paid attention to.

Various symptoms may indicate that you are pregnant. Symptoms may vary from woman to woman and from pregnancy to pregnancy. If you are pregnant, you may notice some of the following symptoms. Don't worry, you're not likely to notice them all at once. Also, don't worry if you don't notice any of these symptoms. It is very easy that you are pregnant, even if you have not registered any of these symptoms.

Missed menstruation

If you have a regular menstrual cycle, missed periods are often the first physical symptom. Remember that if you are pregnant and the fertilized egg is nested in the womb, you may have a pale bloody discharge or spotting at the time of the expected menstruation.

If you have an irregular cycle, you may notice another symptom of pregnancy before your period is missed.

Other pregnancy symptoms

اعراض الحمل المبكرة

Fatigue

You may feel overly tired during the first weeks of pregnancy. This can cause higher levels of progesterone in your body, which nourishes the lining of the uterus, thus promoting the proper development of pregnancy.

Nausea / morning sickness

You may experience nausea and even feelings of vomiting between the second and eight weeks of pregnancy. These feelings usually disappear by the 16th ^. of the week. Although it is called morning sickness, you can feel it at any time of the day or night or they may even persist constantly.

Excessive vomiting

About one in 100 pregnant women suffers from excessive vomiting. Vomiting that does not end shortly after the first trimester (12 to 13 weeks) may grow to such an extent that the woman does not hold any food or fluids. This situation can usually be dealt with successfully and will not endanger pregnancy. However, if you suffer from such severe nausea, see your doctor.

Changes in the chest

Your breasts may grow and be softer or much more sensitive. The veins in the breasts may be more visible and the nipples darker.

More frequent urination

You can start urinating more often about six to eight weeks after conception. The reason is the enlarged uterus, which presses on the bladder. At the end of the first trimester, the uterus moves higher, which relieves pressure on the bladder.

Mood swings

In the early stages of pregnancy, hormone changes can cause mood swings, which can lead to unreasonable crying, for example.

Change in taste and sensitivity to odors

They may stop tasting certain foods or beverages such as tea, coffee or fatty foods, and conversely, you may like foods and beverages that you did not like before. Some odors, such as the smell of coffee, meat or alcohol, can make you sick.

Cramps

You may experience cramps in your legs and feet during the first trimester or later during pregnancy. This causes a change in the way the body uses calcium.

Whether or not you get any of these pregnancy symptoms, the surest way to find out if you are pregnant is to take a pregnancy test. All Clearblue pregnancy tests are more than 99% accurate when used from the date of expected menstruation. They are reliable, fast and easy to use. Clearblue tests are so sensitive that they can be used as early as 5 days before menstrual delay.

Unplanned pregnancy

After taking the test, you may have the result that you are pregnant, but you did not want this result. In this case, you need to know what options are available to you. Remember, you are not alone in this. Every day, many women face the same situation and, with the right advice and support, are able to make the right decision that will determine their future course.

You should talk to a healthcare professional as soon as possible. You can arrange a visit to your doctor, at your local family planning clinic.
