How do you know your pregnant? Because of the signs you body sends. Find out the very first symptoms of pregnancy that you may notice in your first trimester.

Pregnancy is different for every women. Heck, each pregnancy any one woman experiences is different from the others. But several symptoms are common early in pregnancy, some that are widely known, some you may not have known.

Here are the earliest of the very early pregnancy signs:

Missed Period - missing a menstrual period is regarded as the most obvious very early pregnancy symptom. However, many women have missed periods for other reasons and conditions. These reasons include illness, stress, hormone imbalance, adverse reactions to foods and ingestion of substances that result in some level of adverse reaction. For missing a period to be related to the very early symptoms of pregnancy, it should be confirmed by other means.

Morning Sickness - a feeling of nausea in the mornings can be another of the very early symptoms of pregnancy. But this very early pregnancy sign needs to be experienced for several days to be considered reliable. And nausea can have other causes that are not pregnancy related.

Tender, swollen breasts may be one of the first signs of pregnancy that you experience. This can happen in as little as two weeks after conception. The breasts will start preparing for milk production from the very beginning, thanks to hormonal changes. But be aware that sometimes your breasts will become swollen and tender right before you start your period also.

Fatigue is a common early pregnancy symptom. Your body is going through a lot of changes and the increase of the hormone progesterone can make you feel tired and sleepy all the time. You may also experience lower blood pressure and lower blood sugar which can make you very tired.

Light Spotting or Bleeding from Implantation - spotting or bleeding from implantation can be pinkish or brownish and not heavy. This spotting can also be a yellowish vaginal discharge. A normal menstrual flow should begin light, become heavier, then taper off again before ending. About 4-5 days after conception, the embryo will implant itself into the wall of the uterus. Some women will experience light spotting early symptoms of pregnancy plus cramping around this time.

Nausea and vomiting

This is the commonest indication of pregnancy. This condition, popularly referred to as 'morning sickness', can strike at any time of the day at all. You may suddenly start feeling extremely sick for an inexplicable reason. While some women experience only nausea, others actually suffer from actual bouts of vomiting, thereby upsetting their whole system, initially. Some pregnant women suffer from morning sickness only for a little while, some experience none at all. Generally, these symptoms disappear when you enter the second trimester, that is, from the fourth month of your pregnancy.
