Am I Pregnant?

Expecting a pregnancy? How do you know that you are pregnant? Some mothers-to-be will show obvious symptoms while others will not. Listed below are some of the common symptoms that you can use as a guide when expecting pregnancy and tips on using pregnancy test kit:

 

 

 

 


No. Early Symptoms of Pregnancy Pregnancy Tests (Tips)
1. Late Menstruation
  • This is the most common symptom to detect early pregnancy, as a woman’s menstrual cycle will stop when they are pregnant.
You can purchase and use any common pregnancy test kit available in the pharmacy:
  1. Use your first morning urine if possible (or at least urine that’s already in your bladder for 4 hours).
  2. Do not drink excessive amount of water prior to taking the test.
  3. Read and follow test kit instructions carefully.
  4. Avoid taking medications or drugs that may interfere with the result.

Test Results:

Blue Colour – Positive!
Congratulations, you are about to become a mother.

Red Colour – Negative!
Wait for another 3 days before taking another test. Tests taken less than 10 days after conception might show negative results.

2. Sore Breasts and Sensitive Nipples
  • Another common symptom of early pregnancy. Breasts will become tender, swollen and sore as they prepare to produce milk for breastfeeding.
3. Nausea (morning sickness)
  • Some women will experience nausea in the morning or even throughout the day. The effects vary from one person to another or one pregnancy to another.
4. Extreme Fatigue
  • Exhaustion that happens within weeks after conception as baby will start using up mother’s calories, thus causing fatigue and tiredness.
5. Frequent Urination
  • Due to mother’s swollen uterus that is pressuring the bladder, thus the frequent trips to the bathroom might persist for the next 9 months of pregnancy.
6. Cramps (like having a period)
  • Triggered by the implantation of fertilised egg to the uterine wall that will stretch to accommodate the growing baby.
7. Skin Problem
  • Pimples and other skin problems might surface due to hormone changes.
8. Feeling Feverish
  • Your body temperature will be slightly higher.
 
9. Mood Swings and Irritation
  • Caused by hormone imbalance. Mothers-to-be will need all the support they can get at this stage.
10. Other Symptoms:
  • Headaches
  • Heartburn
  • Constipation
  • Blood Spotting
