The signs of pregnancy typically include:
- Missed period: Often the earliest and most reliable sign.
- Nausea and vomiting (morning sickness), which can occur at any time of day.
- Tender, swollen, or sore breasts, sometimes with darkening of the areolas.
- Fatigue or feeling very tired, especially in the first 12 weeks.
- Frequent urination, including at night.
- Changes in appetite, food cravings, or distaste for certain foods.
- Light spotting or implantation bleeding.
- Bloating and abdominal discomfort.
- Mood changes or increased emotions.
- A strange or metallic taste in the mouth.
These symptoms vary among individuals; some may experience many signs, while others notice few or none. If pregnancy is suspected, taking a home pregnancy test or consulting a healthcare provider for confirmation is advised.
