AM I PREGNANT ?

Anxiety strikes the moment you miss your periods...We expect it to be the D day... We immediately buy a p strip and check for those two dark lines ... Disappointed...

Wait until two weeks before you conduct a p-test, or atleast 10 days. It takes a while for the HCG levels to reach a point which can be detected in the p-test.

Here are few symptoms of pregnancy, most of them would be like your mensuration symptoms but few would be peculiar and new to you. Most common symptoms of pregnancy are:

1.  Tender breasts. Sore and sometimes little swollen

2. Nausea with or without vomiting ( My first symptom of pregnancy was nausea which struck me when i was a week late )

3. Fatigue : Unusual sweating and extreme fatigue. you would just feel like lying down for a nap and your body would feel like it went through hours of workout. 

4. Increased urination : You would visit restroom more frequently than before. Ensure you keep yourself hydrated.

5. Increased saliva : Strange but true you would feel you mouth getting filled with saliva often as if there a citrus fruit you are wanting to have.

6. Cravings and food aversions: Sudden aversion to milk, fish and egg...and you want more of that orange, sweet lime, lemon and sour candies. If you never had these cravings before, don't ignore the sign.

Once you are late by atleast 10 days, get a p-test done. Its easily available in all the pharmacies and are 99% accurate. Take the first urine sample in the morning to get appropriate results.
