Earliest possible pregnancy signs

How do I know when I'm pregnant?

There are many obvious indicators that you or a loved one may be pregnant, including missed periods, frequent "morning sickness" (nausea or vomiting on a regular basis in the morning) and fainting. But what are the earliest possible pregnancy signs? Sometimes a store-bought pregnancy test is simply not enough. Your urine will not reveal the signs of a baby in your womb until a few weeks after the fact, and even then the tests are not always 100 percent accurate. However, some regular earliest possible pregnancy signs include:

1.Sore or tender breasts
2.Breasts seem larger
3.Being tired or exhausted most of the day
4.Frequent urge to urinate
5.Dizziness or feeling weak

Of course, the above symptoms can also correspond to many other unrelated medical issues. For example, frequent urge to urinate could signal the onset of a urinary tract infection. These are usually treatable by drinking lots of cranberry juice or seeing your doctor for pills to wipe out the bacteria. Dizziness can of course be a sign of lack of food, and exhaustion is a standard response to little or no sleep. A lack of regular menstrual bleeding can occasionally be a sign of severe weight-loss, especially if you are normally a healthy teenager or young adult. If you do show signs from the list above, don't assume you are pregnant. Wait until your usual menstruation cycle, and if it doesn't occur, take a pregnancy test or visit your doctor for a thorough examination.
