6 SUBTLE SIGNS YOU MIGHT BE PREGNANT UNAWARES

 


 It’s common not to know that you’re pregnant until three or four weeks in when you’ve missed your period.

Check out these frequently overlooked signs that could help you spot your pregnancy before you miss your period:

 

1.      YOUR SKIN SUDDENLY APPEARS DIFFERENT

 

If you find your skin more radiant or smooth (thanks to increased blood flow) or developing acne, be suspicious!

In other women, it is increased skin pigmentation due to a surge in estrogen and progesterone. This can show up in the form of dark blotches on your face, abdomen or nipples.

2.      YOU’RE TIRED FOR NO APPARENT REASON

Inexplicable tiredness may happen because your body is working hard to grow a fetus. Also, the rise in progesterone renders you a feeling of sleepiness and have you falling asleep at your desk.

 

3.      YOUR BREASTS FEEL BIG OR HEAVY.

 

If your breasts get bigger or tenderer, it can be the effect of your mammary glands growing as it normally does during pregnancy. Are the veins on your breasts more prominent as your breasts increase in size? It’s time for a pregnancy test!

 

4.      YOU SUDDENLY DEVELOP WEIRD AND STRONG FEELINGS ABOUT FOOD

 

If you realize that suddenly, you’re having weird and strong food cravings, be suspicious! It might be the fruit of the womb. 

Finding foods you usually like or dislike particular disgusting or suddenly unappealing as well as being hypersensitive to smell, are all first trimester signs of pregnancy.

 

5.      YOUR MOOD IS ALL OVER THE PLACE

 

As estrogen and progesterone flood your body, PMS-like mood swings may become your new experience, especially during your first few weeks of pregnancy.

 

6.      YOU’VE EXPERIENCED SPOTTING

 

What can trigger that light blood flow is when an embryo implants in the lining of your uterus. Up to 20 percent of women around the world experience spotting during their first trimester.
