9 Early Signs You Have A ‘Passenger On Board'

The fact of the matter is that pregnancy symptoms differ from woman to woman, and the same woman can experience diverse symptoms from one pregnancy to the next. The most noticeable sign that something may be up is a missed period, but there are other signs that can start as early as one week after conception.

THE MOST COMMON FIRST SIGNS OF PREGNANCY

According to research done by the American Pregnancy Association (APA), the first described signs of pregnancy are attributed as follows:

32% – a missed period

26% – nausea

16% – tender breasts

9% – fatigue

A SNEAK PREVIEW: 0-6 WEEKS

These are signs and symptoms that occur from the get-go, but many of them are also signs of impending menstruation. You will know your body best and a barrage of these signs and symptoms when you typically don’t experience any premenstrual side effects may be just what is needed to spark off little questions in your mind. On the other hand, none of these signs may be present and a pregnancy may just swoop in under the radar, so to speak.
