Thinking you might be pregnant and
wondering what the most common signs and symptoms of pregnancy are. Well,
we got them for you. We've included all the common pregnancy symptoms as well as
some the less common ones. Examine the pregnancy symptoms to your heart's content,
but remember your doctor is the only one who can confirm pregnancy.
The signs and symptoms of early pregnancy are easy to recognize,
particularly if this is not your first pregnancy. No matter how many times
you get pregnant, the signs and symptoms of early pregnancy are the same.
However, this does not mean that you will experience every pregnancy the
same way. For example, during one pregnancy, you may experience incredible
breast pain or nausea and vomiting, while during another pregnancy you
might not experience these pregnancy symptoms at all. The simple fact is that each
pregnancy, just like each newborn, is different. So, don't count on having
the same pregnancy symptoms or the same intensity of symptoms during consecutive
pregnancies.
First thing you need to Verify through Home Pregnancy Test Kit.
Pregnancy Test -
A home pregnancy test measures the presence
of the hormone human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) in your urine. This
hormone is first secreted at the time the fertilised egg implants in the
uterus (about six days after fertilisation) by the cells which go on to
form the placenta. Levels of the hormone build up rapidly in your body in
the first few days following implantation. Usually, home-pregnancy tests
should be able to pick up the hCG in your urine by the first day you miss
your period. Levels of hCG peak between the 60th and 90th days of
pregnancy.
If you have a negative result when you first test, it may be that the
levels of hCG have not yet reached a level where they can be detected by a
test, even by the day your period is due, so you may want to wait a few
days then test again.
Not all pregnancy tests are the same. Some are more sensitive and usually
more expensive as a result. The more sensitive tests can detect pregnancy
even if you have only a small amount of hCG in your system. Concentrations
of hCG are reported in milliInternational Units (mIU) or amounts equal to
1/1000th of an IU per millilitre. A test with a sensitivity of 20 IU/L is
more sensitive than one with 50 IU/L. You should be able to find this
information on any pregnancy test box.
