     If you answered yes to two or more of these symptoms, you might be pregnant!! 

          Most women will have some symptoms of early pregnancy within a few weeks of becoming pregnant.  Missing your period is often the first sign of pregnancy.  This may be less obvious in women with irregular cycles or who are using a type of contraception that affect their periods.  These women may not notice a missed period. 

               Have you heard the saying of craving pickles and ice cream while pregnant?  While you may not be craving pickles and ice cream, you may have certain cravings for a food or drink or quite the opposite effect...there may be a food or drink you love, now the thought of it turns your stomach.

                    Are you more tired than usual?  Especially during the first 12 weeks we feel more tired, or even exhausted.  Hormonal changes at this time can make you feel tired, nauseous and emotional.  If you are experiencing this, the best thing to do is just rest as much as possible.

                         Swollen and sore breast are common symptoms of pregnancy.  Your body is growing and adjusting throughout pregnancy. Your breast may become larger and feel tender, just as they might do before your period.

                             You may feel the need to urinate more often than usual, including during the night.  Other signs of pregnancy you may notice are constipation and vaginal discharge.

                                  Oh the dreaded morning sickness which is very common in the first three months.  They call it “morning sickness”, but it can happen morning, noon or night.  You can experience nausea or even vomiting and because of the morning sickness you may have some weight loss which is common in the first trimester.

                                           Your body is going through a lot of hormonal changes in the early stages of pregnancy and these can have an impact on your emotions, such as bursting into tears after hearing a song on the radio, headaches and feeling hungry.
