9 symptoms of standard pregnancy

No points for guessing the obvious. A missed period, if you have a regular menstrual cycle, is top of the list for Dr Patrick O’Brien, spokesperson for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG). But since when does the female body like to play as simple as that? Read on for what other tell-tale pregnancy signs you should be watching out for.

1. A light period
That’s right, although skipping your monthly altogether is a reliable indicator that you’re expecting, so too is having a very light period. If a light flow isn’t regular for you, don’t dismiss this sign, if that’s out of the ordinary for you. According to the NHS, bleeding during pregnancy is relatively common.

2. Nausea
Around 80% of women experience nausea and 50% vomiting during their pregnancy, according to NHS figures. ‘It usually starts around six weeks after the start of a woman’s last period,’ O’Brien says.

‘If the vomiting becomes so severe that it leads to dehydration and significant weight loss, it is known as hyperemesis gravidarum, a condition that affects around 1-3% of pregnant women. Treatment options include antiemetics (specific drugs used to treat nausea and vomiting in pregnancy) as well as complementary therapies such as ginger, acupressure and hypnotherapy.’

3. Fatigue
‘It is common to feel tired or even exhausted during Escort Agency Box Hill pregnancy, especially during the first 12 weeks,’ O’Brien says. ‘This is due to hormonal changes taking place in the body – these may also leave you feeling emotional and upset.’

4. The need to wee – a lot
‘Women may feel the need to pass urine more often than usual, including during the night,’ O’Brien says. ‘Other symptoms of pregnancy include constipation and an increase in vaginal discharge without any soreness or irritation.’

5. Tender, fuller breasts
‘Many early pregnancy symptoms can easily be confused with menstrual symptoms or signs of ovulation such as sore breasts,’ says Emma Cannon, fertility expert and author of Fertile. ‘But as the pregnancy continues, the symptoms may develop more strongly.’

6. Cravings
Maybe that jar of pickled onions never looked so appealing, while your usual morning porridge couldn’t seem more disgusting. Hey, you might even find foods that used to be off-limits due to allergies are suddenly a-okay. According to O’Brien, cravings are a thing. ‘Some women may experience a strange taste in their mouth, too,’ he says.

7. Sensitivities
A heightened sense of smell – feeling like the smell of Parmesan is overwhelming or really luxuriating in the scent of flowers – is a clue.

8. A slippery pulse
Which means? ‘The pulse feels full – perhaps due to the increase in blood flow and fluids,’ Cannon says.

9. A bump
Pretty hard not to get the message when your abs begin to bulge. ‘The bump will appear anytime from 12 to 17 weeks,’ O’Brien says. ‘This can sometimes be noticeable surprisingly early, even when the baby is still very small, as the rising progesterone levels cause water retention and bloating.’

So, how do I know I’m pregnant?

Apart from peeing on a stick Clearblue style – read the six things every woman should know about pregnancy tests – a blood test at your GP should give you the final confirmation to put your mind at ease.

‘They’ll measure for levels of HSG, human chorionic gonadotropin,’ Cannon says. Although the hormone is in your body even when you’re not pregnant, it’s when a foetus starts to grow that it starts to increase in quantity.
