Pregnancy symptoms can start as early as the first week after conception.  Some common symptoms are mentioned below :

Missed Period

A common first symptom of pregnancy is a missed period.

Breast Sensitivity

The next pregnancy symptom you may experience is tender, swollen or painful breasts. This is cause by the rising levels in hormones which are necessary for a pregnancy process. A very common early pregnancy symptom is increased nipple and breast sensitivity. Once you become pregnant, your body will begin preparing the breasts and breast glands for pregnancy.

Little Bleeding

Some women may experience a little bleeding during first week to 12 days after conception. This may be caused by implantation of the egg into the lining of the uterus. The bleeding is usually very slight, pinkish in color. Some women have described it as being similar to a light period.

Morning sickness

Morning sickness is probably the most unpleasant symptom of pregnancy. This is caused due to hormonal changes in the body. We can reduce these symptoms by eating the morning healthy breakfast. You should not keep your stomach empty at any time during pregnancy. Because whatever you eat is not only for your body, your baby consumes the required proteins, vitamins, mineral, iron from this food. Hence your food is also healthy which will provide the required nutrition to your baby’s growing body.

Nausea and vomiting

Nausea and vomiting can also feel during pregnancy. This symptom usually shows up between the 6th and 8th week of pregnancy. It is caused by a surge in hormones in the first trimester.
