Early Pregnancy Symptoms to Track When Trying for a Baby
by Ankita Sehgal Freelance Blogger, Lives in New DelhiIt’s important to read the early signs of pregnancy when
trying for a baby. While couples may not always get a single clear sign that
conception has taken place, they may experience multiple signals along with a
missed period.
When pregnant, one needs to follow the outlined drugs
and treatment protocol to ensure that they’re on the right track to a
healthy delivery. It’s also important to plan for any unexpected symptoms that
may arise, as every pregnancy is unique. Listed below are the early pregnancy
symptoms to track when trying for a baby:
Missed period
This is one of the key pregnancy symptoms,
according to the experts at Famhealth. It’s one of the main indicators that
couples need to track so that they’re prepared for the next stages in the
process. Missing your period is a sign that you may be pregnant, which means
that the egg has been fertilized. There may be slight bleeding after ten to
fourteen days, which is an indicator of successful fertilization.
That’s why those who are trying to conceive, need to track
the dates of their period, to understand when they should start testing. A
missed period could also occur due to stress, as this could be an intensive process
for both people.
Pre-pregnancy swelling
Swollen breasts, bloating, and overall puffiness can be a
sign of pregnancy, which is why it’s a good secondary symptom to track. When
feeling bloated, you can get yourself tested, as some can experience signs
weeks after conception.
Tenderness and irritation upon touching can also be signs
of a successful pregnancy. One needs to track the severity of the symptom to understand
whether they’re pregnant. There may be hormonal shifts during this time, to
prepare for the baby, because of which the swelling may increase over time.
Food aversions/Cravings
A missed period, along with key food aversions, could be a
sign of pregnancy. When the mother is sensitive to certain types of food,
they’re unable to be around that specific substance. They may feel sick being
around certain foods or have strong cravings for food groups.
It’s important to follow a balanced diet during this period so that the mother has enough nutrition as the baby grows. Doctors recommend
that cravings be followed early on, so that the mother’s mood is uplifted throughout
the pregnancy.
Nausea and weakness
Nausea is also a strong indicator of pregnancy, especially
when followed by vomiting. If the mother experiences consistent nausea and
weakness, then medication may have to be prescribed by a doctor. If the mother
also experiences constipation, then it could be a sign that the body is
preparing itself for the gestation process as well.
