Top Ten Signs You're Pregnant
Pregnancy Symptoms and Signs
We've all heard stories from women who just knew they were pregnant from the moment of conception. The rest of us, however, are left to rely on other - less intuitive - means of determining if there's a baby on the way.
Here's our list of the Top Ten Signs you may be pregnant (but if you want to cut to the chase and find out for sure, home pregnancy tests can help you confirm your suspicions). Please keep in mind that, while the signs described here are quite common in early pregnancy, you may not experience all - or even any - of these symptoms.

1. Missed Your Period?
This is the classic sign of pregnancy - especially if, like many women, your cycles are typically like clockwork. If you've missed your period, it's probably time to take a home pregnancy test. Home pregnancy tests work by determining the amount of hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) present in your urine. Remember - your first urine of the day tends to have the most concentrated amount of hCG. Early morning urine will give you your best chance at detecting the small concentrations of hCG that are present in the early days of pregnancy.
2. Feeling Sick in the Morning - Or Any Other Time?
About one-half of all pregnant women experience some form of morning sickness (nausea, vomiting, etc.) in early pregnancy. Contrary to popular belief, "morning" sickness isn't always limited to morning; many women experience nausea in the evening, in the afternoon - and a substantial percentage of lucky ladies feel sick all day. (Note: Although rare, morning sickness can be extreme in some cases. Contact your doctor if are becoming dehydrated as a result of morning sickness.)
3. Are Your Breasts Sore?
Are your breasts or nipples feeling a bit sensitive - perhaps in the same way they feel right before you have your period? This is one more sign that you may be pregnant. Breast sensitivity is a common phenomenon in early pregnancy - and thankfully, one that begins to fade by the second trimester. But if you're one of those "glass is half full" types, look at it this way: for many women, sensitive breasts translate into heightened pleasure during intimate moments…
4. Checked Your Areola Lately?
Along with more sensitive breasts, you may notice a slight darkening of the areola, the concentric zone which surrounds the nipple. (Some say this darkening serves a purpose; it makes it easier for your baby to find his/her food source!)
5. Honorable Discharge?
In the early days of pregnancy, mucous begins to accumulate around the opening of the cervix to form the mucous plug, a barrier that helps protect the baby during its development. As a result of this mucous formation, you may notice a bit of vaginal discharge. (Discharge as a sign of pregnancy should not be accompanied by other distinguishing features of an infection, such as a burning sensation, foul smell, or itchiness.)
6. Gotta Pee?
Although pregnancy is indeed miraculous, it does not involve a suspension of the laws of physics. That means that as the baby grows larger in your uterus, the space that once allowed for expansion of your bladder is decreased. The result? You feel like you need to pee more often. Also, you may notice bloating similar to what you experience prior to your period.
7. Not Tonight, Honey. I've Got a Headache...
As a result of the complex mixture of hormones coursing through a pregnant woman's body, it's not uncommon for women to experience headaches more frequently during pregnancy.
8. Seeing Spots?
Around the time when implantation occurs (the moment when the embryo attaches to the lining of the uterine wall), it's not uncommon to notice a bit of spotting. You would look for this sign at around eight to ten days after you last ovulated. (You can use the ovulation calculator located on our home page to calculate your ovulation date.) Spotting as a result of implantation usually looks a bit different than your regular period; it tends to be light in volume and pinkish in color, as opposed to the deep red color associated with regular menstrual bleeding.
9. Temperature Climbing?
A raised basal body temperature past the time when your period is due is another possible indicator of pregnancy.
10. All Stopped Up?
Another sign of pregnancy is constipation. This is caused by certain hormones which are present in early pregnancy relaxing your intestines and slowing the digestive process.
These signs are ones often experienced in early pregnancy - but that's not to say there aren't others. Many women have reported experiencing other "tell-tale" signs such as:
- an enhanced sense of smell
- fatigue
- hunger
- weepiness
- heartburn
- complexion problems ("breaking out")
Once you suspect you are pregnant, home pregnancy tests can confirm you suspicions. For FDA Approved pregnancy tests that allow you to begin detecting pregnancy at around 7-10 days past ovulation, please click here.

No doubt that Dr peter of a spell casting temple is a reliable spell caster because of all he has done for me in the past few months. He helped resolve my broken marriage. My name is vike ane. and at a time my husband was cheating on me with some Chinese young girl he met online and his affair with this Chinese girl want on for a very long time before i even knew about it. Well at the time i discovered he was cheating on me it was already too late cos he was already asking me for a divorce. I finally got to know the name of the girl and there usual hotel where they met to have sex, I felt like a complete fool when i got to know all this. For three straight years my husband was unfaithful to me and i never noticed. The question that kept popping in my head was how did it happen how did we even get to this stage where we where right then. It was on our usual Friday thanks giving day he told me he was seeing some one else and no longer want to be married to me. He said i deserve somebody better than him and that i deserve to be happy as if i told him am not happy with what we had as a family. Crying at that instant just seemed stupid so i held myself until my kids went to bed. He came up with it again telling me our married has been based on pretense now that hit me and all the pain i held inside came out. Really? Pretense and we had four lovely kids and just a day before you claimed to love and now all these was just based on pretense? Then i told him to his face, you not getting a divorce and then we started fighting and he hit me for calling the princess from china cheap prostitute and worked out of the house slamming the door violently.I did sue him for hitting me but dropped it cos it will only push him away cos the court was going to give him a restriction order and when that happens he is free to take off with his Chinese lover which was as hell not going to happen.He told our kids that we were splitting up but he will be there for them. How is that even possible when he will be building a family with his new partner. It was during all the mess i got to know about Dr peter of spell casting temple cos words had it on the internet that he is a reliable spell caster that it turned out true.I contacted him for help and he told all i need to do excluding paying for his services all i was to do was provide the material for the spell which i could now not, But i rather sent him the money for the materials which believe is much faster, Cos the materials in question will be so hard for me to get here. He told me that the spell will take about two days to became effective. During that period of two days my husband started stocking i guess he we wanted to know if i have started seeing someone else and before i know how next move he ended things up with the Chinese girl and then he came bagging telling me that for the past three days that was during the time my spell caster place a spell him, he could not stop think about me that he still love me. I finally let him be my husband again and now all he does is shower me with love much more than he ever did. Thanks to Dr peter my reliable spell caster if you need his help also in matters that is worst than this one, Cos in this temple i made mentioned of, There no problem that they can handle.
