Pregnancy Symptoms

There are many pregnancy symptoms that women can experience. Some women experience all of them and others experience only some. It is completely individual and is part of the beautiful experience of being an expectant mother. Pregnancy is an exciting time and can be full of many different emotions and symptoms.

One symptom that virtually all women experience is no longer having menstrual cycles. This is usually one of the first symptoms that alert women that they are pregnant. Other common pregnancy symptoms can include loss of appetite and nausea from the first trimester hormone changes. Many women that experience this also find that they may lose a little bit of weight in the first part of the pregnancy because they have trouble holding down food.

Other pregnancy symptoms include fatigue, nervousness, moodiness, sensitivity to odors, change in food preferences, breast tenderness and possibly enlargement, swelling of the feet and ankles, increased hair and nail growth, and even for some a return of facial acne. It appears that the different phases of pregnancy also affect the pregnancy symptoms. Some symptoms that you experience in the first part of the pregnancy might be quite different from the ones you go through during the latter parts of the pregnancy. Also, the symptoms you have with one pregnancy might be completely different than the ones with a subsequent pregnancy.

Whatever you experience as far as pregnancy symptoms know that you are going through a natural and beautiful process. Any symptoms that concern you talk to your health care provider immediately. They can determine if there is cause for alarm or not. You can even keep a daily journal of symptoms to show your doctor with each of your prenatal visits to monitor your pregnancy.
