However, the true detection occurs only after the couple goes for some medical tests for detecting pregnancy, such as ultrasound, etc.

The first signs of pregnancy are very similar to the signs that a woman’s body shows just before the menstrual cycle in the woman. Such discomforts include pain in the back, stomach ache, fatigue, etc. These first signs may occur sooner or even later during pregnancy. The most important sign of pregnancy is a missed menstrual cycle. This is also the earliest sign of pregnancy and in most cases proves positive. But an important point to note here is that a missed menstrual cycle may not always lead to pregnancy. It can also be because of prolonged illness or some other hormonal changes in the body.

Sometimes, some women also feel pregnant out of the blues. Although this could be a normal feeling, researches show that a woman generally feels pregnant only when she actually is pregnant and implantation of the egg has occurred in her body. During the first few days of pregnancy, the woman starts getting intuitions about pregnancy. Other feelings that accompany the early months of pregnancy are moody, tiredness, feeling queasy, etc. The body may also suffer from constipation, heartburn, frequent urination, etc.

Frequent urination is also very common during the early stages of pregnancy and in many cases, is a sure shot sign of pregnancy. The reason behind visiting the restroom frequently is because of the fact that the egg inside enlarges the uterus, which in turn puts a lot of pressure on the urinary bladder, making you urinate very frequently. Tendering of the breasts is another sign of pregnancy. During pregnancy, the breasts of a woman turn swollen, tender and sore. Such symptoms in the breasts are noticed generally at the time of going to bed, showering or exercising or while getting dressed. This happens because the breasts of the woman are getting prepared for producing milk and feeding the newly born baby.

Another important sign is special craving for some food items. A woman may suddenly start liking some food item that she hated all her life or may start disliking something completely that she loved to eat some months back.

These are some symptoms that help woman detect their pregnancy and visit the doctor to get the happy news confirmed.
