About Symptoms of
Pregnancy
What common symptoms do women experience
when they are pregnant?
A missed period
When you become pregnant, most women will not have their
next monthly menstrual period. Some women do bleed a little while
they are pregnant, but typically the bleeding will be shorter
or lighter than a normal period.
Swollen/tender breasts
Nausea
Often referred to as morning sickness, some women experience a
persistent queasy feeling in their stomach when they are pregnant.
A pregnant woman can experience this nausea at any time during
the day, not just in the morning.
Fatigue/tiredness
Frequent urination
Other explanations: Keep in
mind that women can experience these symptoms for reasons other
than pregnancy such as stress, a hormonal imbalance, birth control
pills, illness or excessive dieting.
The only way to know for sure if you are
pregnant is to schedule a pregnancy test. Call the
