Early signs of pregnancy

Pregnancy symptoms vary from woman to woman. The most common and reliable early sign is a missed period. However, these symptoms may also be related to other conditions.

After a missed period, symptoms such as nausea, breast tenderness, fatigue, sensitivity to smells, and appetite changes may appear. Frequent urination and sleepiness are also common.

These symptoms are not always present. Some women only notice a missed period, while others may still have light bleeding despite being pregnant.
