When You Want To Know The Signs Of Pregnancy
from: C & P Staff WriterThere are many signs of pregnancy that can help prepare single women and couples, for the preparation necessary of bringing a new child into the world. They are very important to know, so that one can take early precautions and begin early healthy regimens, i.e. cutting out certain harmful foods, and taking healthy vitamin supplements. Regular doctor appointments to monitor the progression of a pregnancy is also important, all these factors help ensure the successful and healthy delivery of a new born baby.
Some of the signs of pregnancy are universal affecting almost every woman, while others can occur once and never show up again. Some signs of pregnancy can look very similar, to the symptoms most women have suffered from pre-menstrual and menstrual cycles. Bloating, backaches, fatigue, headaches, sore or tender breasts, cramping and even mood swings, are common signs of pregnancy as well as common signs of menstrual symptoms. Some of these symptoms can be due to increased hormone production.
Of course one of the most obvious signs of pregnancy is missing a period entirely. Most typically, this is the most accurate indicator and can be confirmed with a home pregnancy test, taken at least a week after the missed period. If the test results indicate a positive pregnancy, then the next steps to confirm the pregnancy should be to consult a physician. Taking care to act quickly after a period has been missed ensures the best outcome for the entire pregnancy period, for reason explained above.
Other signs of pregnancy can be the darkening or enlarging of the areola or the nipple of the breast. Women can also suffer from nausea, an increased sensitivity to smells and increased urination. This can cause women to steer clear of some foods, and crave others that they may never have craved before. The increased urination can often be due to increased intake of foods and fluids, that come with new hunger cravings and nutrition needs for the unborn child.
Some women have also felt fetal heart flutters and the palpitation of fetal movements which are sure signs of pregnancy. Some women experience changes in their skin, libido, and even an enlargement in their breast size.
It is also possible for some women to not experience any of the other signs of pregnancy besides a missed period. Some speculate this might be due to an already healthy lifestyle or a regimented closely monitored and healthy pregnancy management.
Whatever the true cause is, hopefully you are all lucky only to experience any unpleasant signs of pregnancy for a very short period of time.

Long-held views can still be wrong Richard Kirk's ardent defense of bigotry, that there is nothing bigoted in holding to a view of the majority throughout the millennia, is preposterous ("Tolerance, a one-way street," Nov. 18).
