Do you think that you might be pregnant? Did you know that you can have symptoms associated with pregnancy even before you miss your first period? Here are some of the telltale signs of pregnancy that begin the first couple of weeks after conception.
Very Early Signs of Pregnancy• Your breasts may show the first symptom of pregnancy. Because of hormonal changes that take place in your body, as early as 2 weeks after you conceive, you breasts may feel fuller and heavier.
• Those pesky hormone changes can also be the reason that you are tired all of the time. Did you know that if your body gets a high enough dose of progesterone that it can knock you right out. Another cause for your tiredness is low blood sugar, low blood pressure and increased blood production, with all of these causes playing ping pong in your system; no wonder your energy is sapped!
• Morning sickness, which ladies, it's not true about it only happening in the morning. You can become nauseous and vomit at any time during the night or day. This is due to your increased level of estrogen which makes your stomach empty more slowly, as well as your heightened sense of smell, odors can make you vomit pretty rapidly as well.
• Picky eating or you just can't get enough of that chocolate ice cream. Like everything else, your eating habits can be added to the list of hormonal causes.
• Headaches can happen in early pregnancy because of the increased blood circulation.
• The volcanic explosion of hormones that is taking place inside you will make you weep or at the very least unusually emotional. The pendulum can swing back and forth during this time from happy to angry to sad.
• Your basal body temperature elevates during ovulation, but it also will continue to be elevated for longer than the normal 2 weeks which may be indicative of pregnancy.
Your labor will be divided into three stages.
3 Stages of Labor• Dilation of the cervix
• Delivery of your baby
• Delivery of the placenta
If this is your first pregnancy, then labor can last any where from 12 to 24 hours. If you've already had a child then you can expect your labor to be have that long, however, there is no set rule or guarantee when it comes to how long that you will be in labor.
Braxton-Hicks contractions, which is false labor, can be mistaken for labor; these false contractions will usually start about mid-way through your pregnancy and continue until you finally give birth.
