Every girl should know the first signs of pregnancy before the delay. Thanks to them, it will be possible to quickly understand whether fertilization of the finished egg has occurred or not. Unfortunately, this is not always possible to do. Especially if you do not listen to your own body. What indicates pregnancy? What are the signs to suspect this phenomenon? All this and not only will be described below. As a rule, women always run the risk of confusing an “interesting position” with PMS. These are similar processes.
Becoming
The first signs of pregnancy before the delay is rather difficult to determine. It is far from always possible to accurately determine whether ovum fertilization has occurred.
First, find out how the girls get pregnant. This happens after a mature egg leaves the follicle and begins to move to the uterus. This period is called ovulation. During her chances of becoming pregnant are maximum.
As soon as fertilization has occurred, the egg is attached to the uterus, a fetal egg is formed, which begins to develop. If conception does not happen, the egg dies, the woman begins critical days.
What is going on in the body?
Signs of pregnancy on the first day of the delay cycle are not always manifested. A woman may well not suspect of her imminent becoming a mother.
The thing is that in the early stages (in the first trimester) to determine the "interesting position" can be quite problematic. Far from always, the girl shows the characteristic signs of successful fertilization of the egg. Therefore, all of the options listed below cannot be called absolutely accurate.
As a rule, immediately after fertilization, new processes begin to start in the body. For example, hCG levels increase. It is this hormone that indicates pregnancy. The longer its term, the higher the hCG indices.
In addition, the girl’s urine becomes more alkaline. And the body as a whole is preparing for the active development of the fetus, but so far this is not too noticeable for the future mother. How does a girl understand that she will soon become a mother, in the early stages?
Bleeding
The very first sign of pregnancy before the delay is uterine bleeding. It is called implantation, but not every girl has it.
As already mentioned, after successful fertilization, the egg is introduced into the uterine wall. Sometimes this process is accompanied by minor damage to blood vessels. From here comes bleeding.
It is important to remember that such a phenomenon should not cause panic or discomfort. Vaginal discharge is usually minor. They can have a bright red or pale pink color. Implantation bleeding lasts from a couple of minutes to several hours.
Belly and its changes
It is generally accepted that during the "interesting situation" the girl’s stomach increases in size only by the second trimester, but this is not entirely true.
After successful conception and proper fertilization, a violent reaction occurs in the body. For example, blood supply in the intestines increases, and the mucous membrane swells, but it can be quite difficult to notice all these processes.
However, the first sign of pregnancy before delay can occur in a small increase in the abdomen and hips. The girl is not yet capable of recognizing the successful conception of a child by eye, but she will notice how the trousers have become a bit tight, especially if they were "close to" earlier.
It, like the bulk of the first signs of pregnancy before the delay, does not appear in every girl.
Constipation
It is hard to believe, but from the very first days of the "interesting situation" the body is undergoing serious hormonal changes. And if you carefully listen to yourself, you will be able to recognize a successful conception even before the delay of critical days.
For example, the expectant mother will face constipation. Ideally, a similar phenomenon occurs closer to the second trimester. But at the beginning of pregnancy, it is also not excluded. Constipation is associated with the previously described phenomena - swelling of the intestinal mucosa and an increase in blood supply.
Nevertheless, constipation and bloating do not belong to the characteristic signs of a successful pregnancy. All this can also happen due to malnutrition.
Cervix
The next option is suitable only for girls who are attentive to themselves. During pregnancy, the uterus and its neck change. If you constantly feel it, you can quite easily determine even before the absence of menstruation whether egg fertilization has occurred.
If everything worked out, the neck becomes denser. Moreover, it closes. This is the first bell that a girl has an “interesting” position. Similar processes are taking place to protect the child. The dense walls of the uterus do not allow bacteria and infections to enter the ovum.
Uterus color
But that's not all. If it is interesting what signs of pregnancy exist in the early days of the delay, it is worth paying attention to some more phenomena.
The cervix not only changes its density, but also changes in color. It is almost impossible to independently determine it. Therefore, often women do not consider cervical discoloration as a sign of pregnancy.
However, a similar process does indicate successful fertilization. The cervix becomes cyanotic. This is due to increased blood supply.
Mood
The first signs of pregnancy after conception to delay, as we have already said, are not manifested in everyone, especially if we talk about generally accepted noticeable phenomena.
Hormonal changes in the body seriously affect the emotional state of the girl. A woman in the first week of pregnancy may experience mood swings. A more vivid manifestation of any emotions is characteristic: both positive and negative.
It is important to note that severe irritability and violent negative emotions often do not indicate a successful conception, but the approaching critical days.
Drowsiness and fatigue
The first sign of pregnancy after a delay, which many girls call, is increased fatigue and even drowsiness.
There is no need to fear such manifestations of an “interesting situation”. They arise due to the fact that the body of a woman now provides not one, but two lives.
Drowsiness and fatigue increase with the development of pregnancy. Sometimes expectant mothers complain that even after 8-12 hours of sleep, they still do not feel very well.
Sense of smell
What are the first signs of pregnancy before the delay can be noted yet?
Often women say that their sense of smell is exacerbated. Even in the first weeks after successful fertilization of the egg, a similar scenario occurs.
Smells begin to be felt more sharply, the scent of the expectant mother becomes much thinner. Sometimes there are certain addictions to different aromas or an aversion to them. What I liked yesterday, today causes negative emotions. A woman can refuse her favorite perfume, changing it to rather strange aromas.
Have you noticed this behavior? Then it’s worth checking whether the girl has pregnancy. We will find out a little later how to do this with one hundred percent probability.
Tastes
To isolate the very first sign of pregnancy before the delay is problematic. Successful fertilization may not occur until a certain time at all. And that will be considered the norm.
Sometimes expectant mothers say that their taste preferences change. In this case, these changes occur immediately after fertilization. Moreover, they can become very strange. Does a woman want pickled cucumbers with condensed milk, ice cream with garlic, or pineapple with fish? It is worth inviting her to verify the occurrence of an "interesting situation."
As practice shows, by the second trimester tastes really change. Individual girls begin to feel love for chalk. This is due to the body's need for additional vitamins and minerals.
Often, taste preferences initially change slightly. A girl may notice that her previously favorite dishes are not so much liked. Or taste buds react more sharply to food - the taste becomes saturated.
A sharp aversion to previously defined favorite foods and dishes? Then there is a very high probability that these are the first signals of pregnancy.
Nausea
On the first day of the delay, what signs of pregnancy can manifest in a girl?
The bulk of expectant mothers are faced with such an unpleasant phenomenon as toxicosis. This is the very first and main sign of a successful conception of a baby. This is talked about by many.
Toxicosis - nausea that haunts the expectant mother in the first trimester. She appears often in the morning, immediately after waking up. In the evening, toxicosis also has the greatest strength. But nausea is not excluded throughout the day.
Toxicosis in each woman manifests itself individually: someone does not encounter him, someone is lucky to live a certain time with mild morning sickness, and some are so ill that it is difficult to get out of bed.
Vomiting
Together with toxicosis, expectant mothers often experience vomiting. These are signs of pregnancy on the first day of delay. By the end of the first month of fetal development, toxicosis and vomiting occur in many.
Desires can be both strong and weak. Doctors cannot say exactly what the degree of manifestation of toxicosis depends on. But the hereditary factor plays far from the last role here.
Some girls note that their gagging is so strong that they can not eat. Life on a schedule of "eat-run to the toilet" becomes commonplace in the first trimester of pregnancy. If at the same time strong weight loss is not observed, do not panic. With severe toxicosis and vomiting, you should consult a doctor. Specialists will help to weaken the described phenomena and maintain pregnancy.
Basal temperature
When do the first signs of pregnancy appear? Before or after the delay? Answer definitely will not work. After all, the body begins to rebuild immediately after successful fertilization. And this contributes to certain changes that you can catch on your own.
Particularly attentive girls may notice an increase in basal temperature. As a rule, this indicator depends on the day of the cycle. At first, it is low, and by ovulation it rises to 37-37.5 degrees, and closer to menstruation it completely decreases.
Pregnancy can be suspected if the basal temperature:
- stayed at 37 degrees 3 days longer than usual;
- kept elevated for more than 3 weeks;
- the day before the arrival of the estimated critical days reaches 37 degrees or more.
All this allows us to understand how successful fertilization has been. Only a woman should be healthy. An increase in temperature above normal does not always indicate conception. Sometimes this is a clear sign of the occurrence of inflammatory processes in the body.
Urination
Reviews the first signs of pregnancy before a delay in menstruation are contradictory. Moms indicate that feelings are different. And therefore, it is impossible to say exactly when the girl is really pregnant, until the fact of the absence of menstrual bleeding is established.
In some cases, frequent urination may occur. This happens due to relaxation of the sphincter of the bladder. But as a rule, frequent urination is characteristic of the second and third trimesters.
Vaginal discharge
In the reviews of the first signs of early pregnancy before the delay, the girls indicate that it is very difficult to predict a successful conception on their own. For example, a woman may change the nature of vaginal discharge.
During ovulation, more mucus is released from the vagina. This is a normal occurrence. And what happens when a successful fertilization of an egg?
Vaginal discharge will be exactly the same as during ovulation. Their increased number should not be scary. The main thing is that there is no blood in the discharge. They also should not smell sharply and unpleasantly.
Chest changes
Signs of pregnancy in the first week of delay are diverse. In some cases, a woman may notice certain changes in her breast.
The body begins to prepare for breastfeeding. The chest swells and begins to hurt a little. These changes are not often considered a clear sign of pregnancy. After all, an increase in the sensitivity of the mammary glands occurs before menstruation.
Sex drive
Non-standard signs of pregnancy occur in the first week of delay. Say, changes in the hormonal background lead to the correction of sexual desire.
How exactly? It is impossible to predict. Someone notes that sexual attraction rises in the first weeks of an “interesting situation”. And some are talking about reducing libido to a minimum.
A similar phenomenon does not always indicate pregnancy. Sex drive can increase and decrease under the influence of external factors. For example, from fatigue or a good rest.
Popular ways of determining
It is very difficult to catch the first signs of pregnancy. Especially given that not every girl listens to her body. In some cases, the "interesting position" is kept secret until the end of the first trimester.
What are folk signs? The first signs of pregnancy before the delay are far from always noticeable. And to rely on non-standard medicine to determine success at conception is also not necessary.
But knowing about them is still useful. Among folk signs, such signs are noted:
- Drop iodine into collected urine. If the drop has dissolved, there is no pregnancy. Did iodine stay on the surface? Then it is worth suspecting a successful conception. You can also apply iodine to the tissue.
- Boil urine in a metal container and pour it into a glass. If flakes form (sediment), then fertilization has occurred. You can prepare for a visit to the doctor.
- Mix urine collected in the morning with red wine. In pregnant women, the fluid remains clear. If conception has not occurred, the color of the wine will become cloudy.
- Dream interpretation is another method. Women say that after conception they often dream of fish and swimming in clean water.
- Some guessing on the bulb. It is required to plant 2 bulbs. One makes pregnancy, the other its absence. Which will grow faster, so will be the answer in the end.
- Collect urine in a transparent sterile container and add a spoonful of soda. Did the fluid begin to boil and foam? There is no pregnancy. The absence of an active chemical reaction is a sign of successful fertilization of the egg.
- You can urinate for some time on flowers. If some after a certain period of time have blossomed and become brighter, then the woman will soon become a mother.
- Hang the wedding ring on your own curl and place it over your stomach. If it does not move, there is no pregnancy. Otherwise, it is worth preparing for the appearance of the baby.
In fact, all of these phenomena cannot indicate a successful conception. These are just assumptions. Their accuracy is only 50%. Similarly, one can assume an "interesting position" without any changes in the body. The woman is either pregnant or not. This is a logical fact.
Self settlement
Signs are not always noticeable. And so the girl can independently find out whether she managed to get pregnant status.
Logically, you have to rely on statistics on unprotected sexual intercourse. With unprotected sex during ovulation or within a week before its onset, the probability of fertilization of the egg is quite high. Therefore, the delay of critical days should alert.
How to check for sure?
The first signs we studied. And how to accurately understand that a replenishment will soon appear in the family? For this:
- Make a test. The best brands are able to show the right result immediately after a delay.
- Contact your gynecologist. The specialist will be able to see and feel the uterus. This helps to make the right conclusion.
- Go for an ultrasound scan. In the fetus, within 1-2 weeks after the delay, a heartbeat is visible. And it can be seen on an ultrasound scan.
All this helps not to look for signs of pregnancy at every opportunity. It is better not to engage in self-diagnosis - it is often erroneous.
Summary
We have found out how an “interesting situation” can manifest itself in a particular case. However, remember that delay is the very first and most reliable way to determine pregnancy. After that, you can conduct home diagnostics using a test. It is important to remember that in some cases, menstrual bleeding appears even in pregnant women. This situation requires a consultation with a doctor.
