What are the symptoms of pregnancy?


Menstrual Delay:

The most noticeable sign of pregnancy is a delay in menstruation. However, not every menstrual delay is related to pregnancy. In fact, bleeding can occur during pregnancy. Therefore, the surest way to find out if you are pregnant is to take a pregnancy test.

Fatigue: Feeling tired at the beginning of pregnancy is very natural. Factors such as low blood sugar, increased blood production, low blood pressure, and the rise of the progesterone hormone contribute to this condition. The best solution to pregnancy fatigue is to rest a lot and consume foods rich in protein and iron.


Nausea (Morning Sickness):

In movies, we often see a pregnant woman experiencing morning sickness, but it's important to note that not every pregnant woman may experience nausea. While the exact cause of nausea is unknown, it is believed to be due to hormonal changes. In some cases, pregnant women may even feel disgusted by their favorite foods. Nausea may persist throughout pregnancy, but for most women, it tends to subside around the 13th and 14th weeks of pregnancy.


Breast Sensitivity:

Another result of hormonal changes can be increased sensitivity and growth in the breasts. As your body adapts to the hormonal changes, this sensitivity will decrease.

Aversion to and Craving for Foods: Hormonal changes can lead to a dislike for your favorite foods or a craving for foods you wouldn't normally eat. This is normal during pregnancy, and as long as you maintain a healthy and balanced diet, aversions and cravings should not be a problem.


Frequent Urination:

The problem of frequent urination, related to hormonal changes, typically begins between the 6th and 8th weeks after becoming pregnant. It's important to remember that this issue can also occur outside of pregnancy due to urinary tract infections, diabetes, and similar reasons.


Sudden Changes in Mood:

The inevitable result of hormonal changes in the first three months of pregnancy is sudden mood swings. During this period, you may feel sudden anger or the need to cry. Remember that these are natural signs of the pregnancy process, and try to stay calm.


Pain (Headaches and Backaches):

Many pregnant women experience frequent and moderate to severe headaches and backaches.


Constipation:

This issue may arise due to an increase in the progesterone hormone. The most effective solution is to increase water intake, consume fiber-rich foods, and engage in recommended exercises.


Dizziness and Fainting:

Growing blood vessels or fluctuations in blood sugar and pulse values can lead to these problems.
