Family Planning

By: Abhishek Agarwal
When a woman draws closer to her period, she normally feels weary and bloated. In fact, the earliest days of pregnancy, which manifest signs similar to the onset of a period, could be easily misunderstood as just another period.

Since each woman and each pregnancy is not the same, the signs of early pregnancy could be different for each woman. They can be different for different pregnancies in the same woman. For example, a woman who has already had a baby need not necessarily know that she has conceived when it happens a second time. Women, therefore, should know about the earliest signs of pregnancy so that they can care for the health of their unborn child and themselves.

One of the earliest and most ignored sign of pregnancy is the simple feeling that something is not the same. It could be disregarded as wishful thinking, especially if the woman has been trying for a baby for a long time. However, many women have reported to have had this feeling just before their pregnancy was clinically confirmed. While it isn't a rule that all women have this feeling, such flashes of intuitions are not to be taken lightly if they do occur.

The earliest signs of pregnancy, as already mentioned, can be mistaken to be another period. Even the fact that the woman is visiting the bathroom often can be overlooked because this can happen even during a period. Tenderness in the breast and slight bleeding occurs even just before a period, which is why many women won't be aware of their condition until several weeks later. Sometimes, there are no signs at all, and the would-be mother won't suspect her condition until she has missed her second period.

Another sign of pregnancy is associated with the desire for sex. While some women are not interested in sex during the first trimester because it causes a lot of discomfort to them, others enjoy an increased appetite for sex. The reason is due to changes in hormonal activity within the body, which increases the flow of blood to the genitals and the breasts. Both attitudes to sex are absolutely normal, and the signs will soon disappear as the pregnancy progresses.

The earliest signs of pregnancy could easily confuse and mislead a woman. You should learn the language of your body and observe the changes in it carefully. How fast you become aware that you are pregnant depends on how keenly you can observe your body and understand its language.
