Maybe you feel nauseated and can’t stand the smell of coffee brewing. You might wonder if you are coming down with something. Or, is there a chance you could be pregnant?
Pregnancy symptoms can be confusing because they are often symptoms of other conditions, such as an illness or an impending period. And, sometimes, pregnancy could occur without symptoms at all.
Pregnancy testing followed by an ultrasound is the most accurate way to know you are pregnant. Our experienced medical team at InnerVisions HealthCare can provide both services at no cost.

What Are Some Early Signs of Pregnancy?
Pregnancy symptoms usually start after a fertilized egg successfully implants in the wall of the uterus, about 8-10 days after ovulation. Implantation will trigger hormonal changes and can cause women to experience various pregnancy signs and symptoms.
According to experts, five common pregnancy signs and symptoms include:
1. A Missed Period
If your period is late and hasn’t arrived yet, this is a sign you might be pregnant. However, this can be much harder to detect for women with irregular periods.
2. Tender, Swollen Breasts
An increase in hormones can cause breast tenderness or even swelling.
3. Nausea and Vomiting
Hormones can trigger nausea, sometimes called “morning sickness.” Nausea can also come with vomiting. Women can experience varying degrees of morning sickness.
4. Increased Urination
Pregnancy increases the amount of blood in the body. In turn, the kidneys process more fluid, leading to more urine and more trips to the bathroom.
5. Fatigue
It is unclear why women can feel exhausted during early pregnancy, but hormones are likely the cause.
Other signs of pregnancy can include moodiness, bloating, constipation, cramping, food aversions (or cravings), light spotting, and nasal congestion.
