Life is a series of stages a person goes through. Each one is marked with specific experiences that signify milestones along the road of personal growth. One such important stage is motherhood preceded by nine months of waiting. The arrival of the first child is very important, that of others is no less important though. However, this stage is unique in its own way. Mixed feelings at the physical and mental plane are in store; so how to distinguish it? Knowing other pregnant women is not the same as becoming pregnant yourself.  What are the pregnancy symptoms?
 

The obvious symptoms of pregnancy are a bloated stomach, listless, tired heavy walking, and vomiting. Some pregnant woman may stun you with their spirited looks and general good health; but the large belly is unmistakable. However these signs appear at quite a later stage and are loud and clear for all to notice.  
 

What about the early signs? When and how can a woman find out that she is pregnant? From where does one start counting the beginning of pregnancy?  This is not that easy. All signs of pregnancy are confusing and don’t lead to definitive conclusions. What signifies pregnancy may also be caused by some other illness. The most obvious and first sign ‘missed period’ may be due to reasons other than pregnancy. Vomiting, nausea, headaches, weakness, gastric problem, etc. could lead to some other physical illness. Also, all expectant women don’t experience the same symptoms.

So, to detect early signs of pregnancy a woman should first rule out the possibility of other occurrences by consulting her doctor, if needed, then trusting her gut feeling should go for pregnancy tests be one hundred percent sure so that she can properly take care of her pregnancy health.
