Below is a listing of some of the most common pregnancy signs/symptoms. If you have been sexually active and are experiencing any of the following symptoms it is important to take a pregnancy test.

This well-known pregnancy symptom will often show up between 2-8 weeks after conception. You may have nausea and/or vomiting. Some women will not have morning sickness at all, while others will feel nauseous throughout most of their pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Food poisoning, stress, or other stomach disorders can also cause you to feel queasy.

Swollen/Tender Breasts:

Swollen or tender breasts are a pregnancy symptom which may begin as early as 1-2 weeks after conception. Women may notice changes in their breasts; they may be tender to the touch, sore, or swollen.

Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance, birth control pills, impending menstruation (PMS) can also cause your breasts to be swollen or tender.

Frequent Urination:

Around 6-8 weeks after conception, you may find that you have to urinate more often than what is normal for you.

Other Explanations: Urinary tract infection, diabetes, increasing liquid intake, or taking excessive diuretics.

Fatigue/Tiredness:

Feeling fatigued or more tired is a pregnancy symptom which may start as early as the first week after conception.

Other Explanations: Stress, exhaustion, depression, common cold or flu, or other illnesses can also leave you feeling tired or fatigued.

Backaches:

Lower backaches may be a symptom that occurs early in pregnancy; however, it is common to experience a dull backache throughout an entire pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Impending menstruation, stress, other back problems, and physical or mental strains.

Food Cravings/Food Aversions:

Many women will feel cravings for certain foods when they are pregnant . This can last throughout your entire pregnancy. You may also notice you have aversions to foods that you normally eat.

Other Explanations: Poor diet, lack of a certain nutrient, stress, depression, or impending menstruation.
