The very first, the earliest - all about the signs of pregnancy before the delay and after it. The earliest signs of pregnancy. Mood swings, "emotional swings"

11.04.2019

tenth week of pregnancy is very milestone both for the mother-to-be and for the baby. It is from the tenth week of pregnancy that the expectant mother will begin to notice her beautiful position more and more, and the baby inside will continue to make new and important achievements. A pregnant woman can stop worrying about possible threat miscarriage, because the baby has already “settled” enough inside its mother and continues to develop and grow quietly.

Symptoms and signs

If, before the tenth week, a pregnant woman did not know about the birth of a new life in her, then the following symptoms and the signs clearly tell about it:

Absence of menstruation (delay). This is the first sign that alarms expectant mothers who do not yet know about pregnancy.
Toxicosis. If you experience nausea in the morning, which can go as far as vomiting, you can rejoice, because early morning sickness is a clear sign of pregnancy.
The appearance of pimples and acne. perestroika hormonal background often causes acne on the face. There is even popular opinion that if a lot of acne appears on the face of a pregnant woman, then she bears a girl, based on the fact that her daughter takes beauty away from her mother.
weight gain. This is an absolutely normal and mandatory indicator of pregnancy. Increased gas formation. The culprit for the appearance of such a symptom is the hormones of pregnancy. If you have such a sign, then to weaken it, use less products that contribute to this (legumes, fried foods, flour products).
Deterioration vision. This sign pregnancy is not a concern for all women and is not mandatory. An increase in blood volume leads to thickening and curvature of the cornea of the eyes, which makes vision blurry. It can also lead to dry eyes. To alleviate this condition, you need to contact the observing gynecologist so that he prescribes the necessary drugs. Usually vision returns to normal after the birth of the child.

Feel

Feelings in the tenth week of your wonderful position may not change - the following phenomena may still be present:

Toxicosis
Drowsiness
inattention
Irritability
Tearfulness.

Very soon, your body will completely “get used” to the fact that a tiny man lives inside you, the hormonal background will completely improve and toxicosis, along with other unpleasant sensations, will completely disappear. Usually, early toxicosis disappears by the onset of the 12th week.

Increased heart rate is the most common from the tenth week of pregnancy. This is due to the rapid growth of your future baby. The restructuring of the hormonal background together with the circulatory system leads to a complication of the work of the whole organism.

The volume of blood gradually increases every week, from which a woman may feel tired from ordinary walking and cannot long time do any job.

Changing the body of the expectant mother

Systematic weight gain will certainly affect the figure of a pregnant woman. Her forms will become more feminine and rounded, others may begin to notice your position and even joke: “Are you pregnant?” For your OB/GYN, your weight gain is very important because it can tell you how good your position is. The doctor can commend you for normal increase in weight, but if it is slow or swift, then he may scold you. Slow weight gain can cause your child not to get enough nutrients, and a rapid increase can complicate the course of pregnancy. Normal and average weight gain should be from 150 grams. up to 1 kg per week.

Danger of edema

If you notice swelling in your arms, legs, or face, it means that your body cannot cope with the removal of fluid from the body on its own. This is due to the fact that the kidneys during pregnancy work very hard and hard. In this case, you need to reduce drinking or use diuretics, but only after consulting with your obstetrician-gynecologist.

Breast

A future mother during this period may notice the appearance of white bubbles and tubercles on her chest, which are called montgomery. In the future, after the birth of the crumbs, they will help facilitate the feeding process.

Face

Some moms-to-be notice an appearance on their face age spots or freckles. This phenomenon is considered absolutely normal, so do not be surprised if you notice their appearance in yourself.

Each future mother I would like to get to know better what processes take place from the moment of conception to the birth of the baby. See photos of the baby by week!

Pain, discharge and uterus

If you are on this period pregnancy, you feel a moderate (!) pulling pain in the lower abdomen, do not be alarmed - this is normal. The pain is caused by the gradual lifting of the uterus up.

The tenth week is characterized by light moderate discharge, sometimes milky in color with a uniform consistency. Every expectant mother should be wary and be sure to visit a doctor in the near future if the discharge is as follows:

curdled
Purulent
Blood
With slime
With flakes or bubbles
With an unpleasant and pungent odor.

Such discharge is unacceptable for pregnancy and may indicate the presence and development of a certain infection.

Sex

Intimacy during normal pregnancy is not contraindicated. On the contrary, during sex, the uterus contracts, thereby preparing itself for upcoming birth. The only limitation may be the activity of this lesson.

Sexual contraindications include:

Allocations that are unacceptable for normal flow pregnancy (see above)
Multiple pregnancy
Risk of miscarriage
Uterine tone
Low location of the placenta
Polyhydramnios
Breech presentation of the fetus
Inferiority of the scar after a previous birth by caesarean section.

Observations, analyzes and surveys

Each expectant mother in this week of pregnancy will need to undergo a series of the following examinations and tests:

General blood analysis. It is needed to determine the level of hemoglobin.
Blood test to determine the level of glucose and sugar.
Analysis of urine. It is needed to determine the level of protein in the urine. The result of such an analysis will tell about the work of the kidneys.
HCG analysis. This result of the analysis will tell you whether the woman's body produces enough hormones to maintain pregnancy. This analysis is especially important for those women who have previously had a miscarriage or threatened abortion.
Analysis on RW. This analysis will help determine the presence or absence of syphilis in a woman.
Blood test for HIV.
Blood test HBs antigen. This analysis will show the presence or absence of hepatitis B.

The following tests are optional but may be ordered by your doctor:

Analysis for chorionic villus biopsy (CVS). This analysis is the most accurate for determining genetic abnormalities in an unborn baby. Exactly in the tenth week medical staff can appoint this analysis, but its delivery will be carried out a little later.
ECG. This examination is prescribed for women who have a violation of the cardiovascular system.

Nutrition for the expectant mother

Nutrition during childbearing simply must be complete and balanced. Only in this case the baby will be able to receive everything useful material which he simply needs to normal growth and development.

To balance and receive necessary vitamins and minerals, focus on the use following products:

Fresh vegetables and fruits in season. Not defrosted or canned. They can also be eaten, but their fresh condition will bring more benefit.
Meat and fish. Boiled or steamed, your choice.
Various dairy products, including fresh varieties of hard cheeses, yoghurts, cottage cheese, etc.
Fresh greens in season
Various types of cereals
Compotes.

It is better for every pregnant woman to refuse the list of the following products or at least minimize their use:

Coffee and strong tea
Spicy, fatty and salty foods
Sweets
Dark chocolate
Fast food or convenience foods.

Try not to eat one meal a day. This will greatly complicate the work of the digestive system. Don't eat on the go. Make every effort to eat often, but little by little.

Future baby in the tenth week. Fetus 10 weeks

Since the tenth week is important period in the development of the fetus, the baby significantly changes its appearance, And his internal development continues rapidly.

External development

Now the baby is doing his first major achievement- it turns into a fetus from an embryo. This suggests that the appearance of the unborn child gradually acquires a human appearance. The child's fingers have formed to the shape of a human hand. The tail, which in previous weeks gave the baby the appearance of a small fish, is now almost gone.

Weighs future child at the tenth week, about 5 grams, and his height from head to toe is about 4 cm. ultrasound examination you can already hear the beating of the heart and see your future baby.

The eyelids of the unborn child are closed almost all the time, but he sometimes opens them for a short time.

Internal development

Intensively formed future milk teeth, internal organs. But the brain of a child is rapidly ahead of the formation of all organs - every minute it produces 250,000 neurons.

The genital organs of the future man are now very weakly expressed, so it is impossible to determine the sex. But if the happy owner of her beautiful position bears a boy, then during this period his testicles produce a male hormone (testosterone).

The process of transmitting nerve impulses from the brain to the muscles is becoming more and more perfect. Thanks to this, the baby begins to move more and more actively. When he touches the walls of the uterus, he immediately repels from it, thereby making coordinated movements with the head, legs and arms.

Household chores - cleaning and pregnancy. Cleaning during pregnancy will not harm the body, but only if you follow some tips. Since some detergents and cleaners can be toxic, wear clothing with long sleeves, and instead of the usual shorts, give preference to trousers. Be sure to use gloves. To minimize the risk of exposure to substances contained in detergents, choose only organic products for cleansing.
Dangerous enemy - passive smoking. All people on the planet know about the dangers of smoking during pregnancy, but not everyone knows about the dangers of passive smoking. Try not to be in places where people smoke. You can ask even close people not to smoke near you. They will definitely understand your concern and stop doing it around you.
Importance proper nutrition . If you ignore the importance of a balanced and proper diet, then this can cause constipation, which is dangerous during pregnancy.
Overweight and walking. Overweight women for a long time walking is not recommended, because in this way you can cause varicose veins veins. But try not to be indoors all the time - go outside, take a little walk, and the rest of the time you can spend sitting in nature or in the park on a bench.
Surrounding nature as a helper of tranquility. Avoid walking on fresh air, because they not only help oxygen enter the bloodstream, they are also wonderfully soothing. Calm and balanced state good mood will contribute to the birth of not only a healthy, but also a happy baby.

Pregnancy is a special period in a woman's life, when a long-awaited or unexpected, new life. At the same time, the sensations are unforgettable, they should be experienced at least once in a lifetime by each of us.

After conception, the egg moves to the uterus for a whole week, so it is impossible to feel anything else. Even if they speak at such a time with confidence about the onset of an “interesting” period, they most likely feel it on an intuitive level. But when the embryo reaches the uterus and attaches to it, and this happens somewhere on the 10th day, then we can already talk about the first signs of pregnancy and the sensations at the same time.

It is almost impossible to accurately determine the day of conception, so gynecologists consider the first day of menstruation to be the day of conception. Some women feel this wonderful period from the very beginning, others do not know about their situation until going to the doctor.

Signs of conception ten days later

The main signs of conception on the 10th day:

Vaginal discharge. 10 days after conception, a woman can detect bloody, spotting discharge (this happens 10 days before the expected menstruation), do not sound the alarm, this is just an embryo implantation. It also happens that the embryo does not reach the uterus, but dies or attaches to the fallopian tube. Then there is ectopic pregnancy, it is very dangerous and should be disposed of surgically as soon as possible. The discharge can be very meager, just a couple of drops of blood, or as during menstruation, which may indicate a threat of miscarriage. In such a situation, you need to urgently go to the hospital. Pregnancy is different for all women, so this symptom may not be present.
Increase in basal body temperature. All women who are planning a pregnancy are aware of the increase in basal body temperature during ovulation. The decrease in basal temperature is counted after ovulation, if conception has not occurred. If you measure the basal temperature in the rectum on the 10th day after the alleged conception, and it will show 37 degrees Celsius, then we can safely talk about the onset of pregnancy.
Nausea and vomiting. Already on the 10th day after conception, a woman may experience nausea in the morning. Vomiting usually happens in the morning too. But due to spikes in blood sugar, such symptoms can occur throughout the day. Nausea and vomiting are signs of early toxicosis, in most cases every second pregnant woman suffers from it. But it happens that a woman may feel nausea due to fear of an “interesting” position, but more often such symptoms occur in those who really want to get pregnant and wait a long time cherished day. Such toxicosis is called psychological.
Changes in smell and touch. Even on the most early dates pregnancy, a woman may notice changes in her taste preferences. The sense of smell is very sharply exacerbated, some smells can cause irritation, nausea and even vomiting, while other smells that a woman did not perceive before pregnancy become, on the contrary, pleasant. These changes are caused by an increase in the hormone progesterone.
Swelling of the mammary glands. Starting from the 10th day after conception, a woman has a feeling of breast swelling. In this case, the breast increases in size, becomes more sensitive, the nipples may darken. The areolas around the nipples may also increase and the veins on the mammary glands become more visible. Breast discharge is a common sign of pregnancy. So mammary glands preparing for lactation.
Frequent urination. After implantation of the embryo, there are frequent urges to go to the toilet in a small way. This happens about 7-10 days after conception. Frequent urination causes growth hCG hormone, which increases blood circulation in the pelvic organs. This creates a feeling of being overwhelmed. Bladder, especially this symptom worries at night.
False cold sensation. At the very beginning of pregnancy, somewhere after the 10th day after conception, a woman experiences a feeling of a cold, general malaise, weakness. Such symptoms are caused by a surge of hormones, in which immunity is reduced. Against this background, there is nasal congestion, sore throat, sometimes the body temperature rises.
Drowsiness. Progesterone, which is responsible for pregnancy, constantly increases, while having a sedative effect on the body. The woman has the feeling that she always wants to sleep, especially during the daytime.
Lower abdominal pain. Even after a few days after the fertilization of the egg, pain may occur in the lower abdomen, lower back. The causes of pain are not fully understood. This occurs mainly during implantation. But if bleeding occurs during pain, this may be a sign of a threatened miscarriage.

Symptoms from the first day of conception

Symptoms that occur from the first days of pregnancy are rare, but they can also be used to understand that a woman is in an “interesting position”:

Swelling of fingers. Changes in the body provoke fluid retention in the body, while there is a feeling that the fingers have become thicker.
Headache. Frequent migraines and headaches can be signs of pregnancy.
Vertigo. Due to pressure surges, from the first days of pregnancy, in most cases in the morning, dizziness may disturb.
Constipation and diarrhea. An increase in the amount of hormones in the blood, the intestines begin to work "sluggishly", constipation occurs, but more often diarrhea, thus the body makes room for the child. For repeated pregnancies characteristic signs of hemorrhoids from the first days of conception.

From the first days of pregnancy, a woman may not feel any symptoms. But it is possible that all the signs will appear very clearly and then there will be no doubt about the onset of pregnancy.

In a woman's life, there comes such an exciting moment when she can't wait to find out about her "interesting situation", but the period may be quite short to make an accurate diagnosis.

In order to understand in more detail, consider the main signs in the first days of conception, which may indicate the onset of pregnancy.

The first signs of an interesting situation

After conception, the fertilized egg starts moving towards the uterus on the very first day to begin development. This time is not yet pregnancy and is about 5-10 days.

The main early sign before a missed period is an increase in body temperature

During this period of time, it is very difficult for the expectant mother to diagnose any sensations in herself, since the egg takes the first steps towards the pregnancy itself.

After the egg has settled securely in the uterus, the process of formation of the umbilical cord and placenta begins - this moment can be safely called the true onset of an "interesting situation".

In the first days when the implantation of the embryo occurred, after conception, pregnancy symptoms such as:

swelling, soreness of the breast;
pulling pain in the lower abdomen;
early toxicosis;
minor discharge;
the temperature rises;
fatigue;
minor discomfort.

Now let's take a closer look at some of the symptoms.

Immediately after conception, swelling and soreness of the breasts appear - these are the first symptoms of hypersensitivity of the mammary glands. A barely noticeable touch can become painful. In the early stages, colostrum may begin to stand out from the nipples.
Painful heaviness in the pelvis - there may be slight discomfort, there may be sensations of fullness of the uterus. For the body of every woman at such an early date, sensitivity to a new position manifests itself very individually.
Early toxicosis - future mom already feels unwell, nausea, she may not like food that seemed tasty before pregnancy, may change taste preferences. There may be an exacerbated reaction to familiar and new odors.
Discharge - slight brown, reddish, or yellow shade, they appear in the first days of conception, and pass through the day. This indicates that the embryo has attached to the uterus.
But it is also important to know that such a sign may indicate a possible threat of interruption of the "interesting situation" if the discharge is plentiful and accompanied by pain. V this case necessary urgent appeal to a specialist.
Violation temperature regime- in the early days, body temperature can drop sharply, and then rise until the placenta begins its active work after conception. First three weeks elevated temperature bodies up to 37 degrees can be considered the norm. This jump is due to the release a large number estrogen during pregnancy, which leads to a decrease in temperature, and after - the release of progesterone, which leads to an increase in body temperature.
Fatigue and malaise - the reason for this is reduced immunity, fever, general weakness. So the woman's body reacts to the embryo as something foreign, and tries to fight it. According to statistics given period ailments last for the first 2 months, then with greater production of estrogen, the condition of the expectant mother returns to normal.

Each week is characterized by growth and the next stage

Early baby development

Although pregnancy did not officially occur from the first days of conception, these days are the most significant and make a huge contribution to the development of a new life. The child begins to form internal organs, nervous, respiratory, digestive system. What happens in the first days with the embryo after conception - we will consider it step by step.

After the zygote is formed, the development of the unborn child begins. From the first day of conception, a fertilized egg begins to make a difficult path to a source of nutrition, where it can fully develop. The egg cell makes its way through the fallopian tubes, moving with the help of villi located on inner surface fallopian tubes.
On the second day, the egg is still moving towards its target, the process is accompanied by continuous cell division at a very intense pace.
On the third day, the number of cells reaches 9.
By the fourth day, the fertilized egg takes on the shape of a berry, similar to a blackberry. The egg is still moving towards the uterus. It is from this day that all vital systems, as well as the internal organs of the unborn baby, begin to form through embryogenesis.
With a continuous process of cell division, inside fetal membrane cells begin to form - blastomeres. Their enzymes play the role of dissolving the uterine lining, helping the embryo adhere firmly to the uterine wall. On the fifth day, the fetal egg enters the uterus, is fixed there by launching its fibers into the endometrium, merging with tissues and blood vessels. Increases the level of the hCG hormone.
On the sixth, seventh day, the level of progesterone in the expectant mother rises, the body temperature rises. The child continues his continuous intrauterine development, but still feeding only on its own resources.
By the eighth, ninth day, the fetus begins to form neural tube, the placenta develops, which will be transformed for the next twelve weeks.

Complete reunification of the embryo with the uterus occurs on the fifth day within forty hours. The strongest connection between the body of the mother and the unborn child occurs on the twelfth day, when the baby begins to fully receive placental nutrition.

Possible dangers of the first days

The most crucial period throughout pregnancy is the first trimester - it is he who needs to be given Special attention to prevent unwanted risks.

In the early days of conception, the main dangers are:

risk of miscarriage;
frozen pregnancy;
improper development of the embryo;
ectopic pregnancy.

The following pathologies can provoke these risks.

Cold.
SARS.
Infectious diseases, sexually transmitted.
Alcohol, smoking.
Discharge from the vagina, accompanied by pain.
Severe pain in the pelvis.
Stress.
Physical activity, trauma.

HCG - the "hormone of pregnancy" appears in the blood of absolutely all expectant mothers

Therefore, it is so important to take care of yourself in advance and be extremely sensitive in the very first days of pregnancy.

To prevent threats, in the first days after conception, you should walk a lot in the fresh air, avoid overheating, hypothermia, stress, eat right, adhere to healthy lifestyle life.

How to find out about the "interesting situation" in the early stages?

For short periods of time, determine interesting position» extremely difficult - only a week after conception. In the first days after conception, you can listen to internal sensations.

Consider the main ways to check pregnancy:

Method for determining conception	Description
Pregnancy test	The probability that this way will show the correct answer, is high on the fifth day - then there is a sharp release of the hCG hormone. It is important to understand that from the first day of conception, using a pregnancy test, you can hardly see a second strip on it - hCG level is still small, which will not give an accurate diagnosis.
Laboratory study (blood test for hCG hormone)	Through content analysis chorionic gonadotropin in the blood, it is possible to more confidently diagnose the presence or absence of an “interesting position”.
Examination by a gynecologist	When the uterus prepares to receive the embryo, it enlarges and swells. The cervix acquires a bluish tint, becomes loose, moist. This method of determination is valid for 4-5 weeks of pregnancy.
Ovulation	First you need to determine the possible days of conception from the menstruation calendar. To determine the starting point possible day subtract 18 days from the shortest cycle of menstruation. To determine the end of your fertile period, subtract 12 days from your longest period. This interval will be the most favorable for conception.

Possible individual feelings

Toxicosis can occur a week after conception, and after a few weeks

At different women every pregnancy is different. Finding out if pregnancy is present on the first day after conception is almost impossible. But you can listen inner feelings and intuition.

There are such rare cases when, due to their high sensitivity, some expectant mothers can observe signs of conception of an embryo even in the first days. They seem to feel the presence of a baby inside themselves, so they are firmly convinced of this.
Not everyone has symptoms such as nausea, nervousness, apathy - they may not be at all throughout the entire period. In the early days, they also cannot unambiguously indicate the reliability of conception.
However, if the symptoms do not appear favorable way: severe pain, long-term discharge with blood, then you should immediately consult a doctor - this can be dangerous for the unborn baby.

At what time do signs of pregnancy begin to appear? And how to determine if fertilization has occurred? The answers to these questions are of particular interest to women who have decided or really dream of having a baby.

At what time do the first signs of pregnancy appear?

Usually, the first symptoms of pregnancy appear 10 days after conception, because already 7 days after fertilization, serious hormonal changes occur in the female body, and you can feel them yourself. Therefore, knowing the exact date ovulation and paying special attention to her well-being, a woman will be able to notice the signs of the onset of pregnancy. This may be excessive emotionality - tearfulness, capriciousness, increased irritability, etc.

Regardless of the gestational age, in each case, expectant mothers have individual feelings, but there are also general ones that most women experience. Not the last role here is played by the characteristics of the body, the state of health and even the desire to get pregnant (in fact, as well as the lack of it). Therefore, it is difficult to unequivocally answer at what time the signs of pregnancy will appear exactly.

10 signs of early pregnancy

As mentioned above, the body of the expectant mother begins to respond to pregnancy as soon as conception has occurred, or rather, as soon as the fertilized egg has attached to the wall of the uterus. Therefore, certain signs may appear already in the early stages - they most likely make it possible to assert the onset of pregnancy. However, it is worth noting that many women do not feel any changes at all, but those who really want to get pregnant are able to find signs of pregnancy in themselves, even if there really is none.

So, 10 signs of pregnancy at an early stage, which even before the delay will help determine that you will soon become a mother. It is important to understand that the appearance of one or two of them is not a reason to run to the doctor. You need to assess your condition in the aggregate, according to several criteria.

1. Spotting. Approximately 6-12 days after ovulation, bloody, pinkish or brown discharge from the vagina, accompanied by minor pulling pains lower abdomen. They feel very much like the onset of menstruation, but, nevertheless, the woman is visited by the thought that menstruation does not begin as usual. This is the so-called implantation bleeding caused by the attachment gestational sac to the wall of the uterus, one of the earliest signs of pregnancy;

2. Increase in basal temperature. Among the 10 signs of pregnancy, this is one of the most reliable. Women leading the temperature chart are well aware that basal body temperature rises at the time of ovulation. And if fertilization does not occur, it decreases again. However, when pregnancy occurs, it remains at 37 ° C (sometimes a little higher);

3. Feeling of general malaise, accompanied by fever. Such a change entails a change in the hormonal background. Not knowing about the onset of pregnancy, the woman thinks that she just caught a cold or got sick;

4. Feeling of heaviness in the pelvic region. During pregnancy, blood flow to the pelvic organs increases, so women can “feel” their uterus literally from the first days of implantation of the fetal egg;

5. Increasing the sensitivity of the breast or swelling of the mammary glands. This sign of pregnancy appears one to two weeks after conception. The chest becomes so sensitive that sometimes it is simply impossible to touch it. However, some women, on the contrary, are surprised that for some reason the chest does not hurt before menstruation, as usual;

6. Nausea, vomiting, aversion to smells. Early toxicosis is one of the first signs of the onset of pregnancy. This condition can also be accompanied by a decrease in appetite, salivation, a change in taste preferences;

7. Frequent urination. Frequent calls conditioned hormonal changes accompanying pregnancy. As blood flow to the pelvic organs increases, congestion of the blood vessels causes temporary changes in the functioning of the kidneys, bladder, and ureters;

8. Slight pressure drop. This sign of pregnancy is considered universal. In women whose pressure before pregnancy did not exceed the norm, it can lead to headaches, dizziness, weakness, fainting;

9. Bloating, indigestion, gases. During pregnancy as a result hormonal adjustment increased blood supply to blood vessels abdominal cavity, intestinal peristalsis slows down, the rate of movement of its contents decreases. As a result of this, bloating occurs, constipation appears;

10. Copious discharge from the vagina, thrush. An increase in vaginal secretion is a protective reaction of the body that occurs during pregnancy. So it prevents the penetration of pathogenic microbes, but at the same time creates favorable conditions for the reproduction of yeast fungi, which leads to thrush.

The first signs of pregnancy after a delay

Certainly the first clear sign pregnancy is the cessation of menstruation. It is this fact that prompts a woman to buy a pregnancy test. However, monthly bleeding may be absent various reasons, including due to menstrual irregularities, stress, climate change, any disease, and even due to banal overwork. Therefore, a delay is not always an early symptom of pregnancy. But if it is accompanied by some other signs, it is possible to assert almost one hundred percent about the onset of pregnancy.

The first signs of pregnancy after a delay include:

Breast augmentation. Sometimes this symptom is accompanied by the discharge of colostrum from the nipples. This is explained, again, by hormonal changes in the female body, which begins to actively prepare for the upcoming birth and lactation;
The presence of hCG (chorionic gonadotropin) in the urine and blood. All pregnancy tests are based on determining the level of this particular hormone in the urine, and it can be confirmed clinical analysis blood. More reliable, of course, is considered a blood test. You can do it as early as 10 days after the estimated date of conception. By the way, it is not necessary to wait for a delay in menstruation;
Enlargement of the uterus. True, only a gynecologist can determine this during an examination carried out no earlier than 2-3 weeks after the onset of the delay. However, it is this symptom that is the reason for the diagnosis of "pregnancy in question" and the appointment of an ultrasound examination;
Detection of the fetal egg on ultrasound. Even with total absence any signs of the onset of pregnancy, this method allows you to make sure that the woman is in position. Only here to do an ultrasound to get more accurate results, it is recommended at least 6 weeks after the delay of menstruation.

In any case, your assumptions must be confirmed either by a test or by the results of an examination by a gynecologist. Then you can safely say that soon you will become a mother! Smile and tune in to positive emotions!

Pregnancy - the finest time when a woman bears a new life in her body. The process is associated with a number of changes and new sensations for a woman, many of which are desirable and long-awaited. The main sign of pregnancy is known to everyone - this is a delay in menstruation, but the time before next menstruation there may still be a lot, and the desire to find out whether the miracle of conception has happened is very great. It should be understood that not only the delay signals this, there is whole line other common signs by which it is possible to establish with almost one hundred percent accuracy that pregnancy has nevertheless occurred.

Is it possible to determine pregnancy before a delay?

The question of whether there are ways to determine the onset of pregnancy even before the delay in menstruation worries many women. For some, this is important, because they want to know about the joyful event as soon as possible, and some, on the contrary, want to make sure that there is no unwanted conception. This question can only be answered with understanding. female anatomy and ongoing processes.

It is necessary to immediately note what to look for possible pregnancy earlier than a week after unprotected intercourse, it makes no sense if ovulation has not yet occurred. Ovulation is the process by which an egg is released from the ovary into fallopian tube, and this happens in the middle of the menstrual cycle. Given this, it is advisable to monitor signs only after the onset of this phenomenon. It is quite possible to determine conception before a delay without a test, the most important thing is to take into account the characteristics of the reproductive system.

When do the first signs appear

Signs of the onset of pregnancy, having sufficient intensity and clarity, occur approximately on the 20th day after fertilization, when the egg is fixed in the uterus. At this stage, the restructuring is serious, and it can be difficult not to notice them. There are also earlier "symptoms" which are not so intense in everyone that they can be noticed. It is worth noting that you should not rely on only one sign, you should always pay attention to the totality of changes in the body.

Physiological changes

Independent methods for diagnosing pregnancy are based on the changes that begin to occur in the female body immediately after fertilization of the egg. Some of them may be unexpressed, and such signs can be identified only with careful monitoring of one's own condition.

Change in basal temperature

Basal body temperature is the lowest body temperature reached human body at rest. To obtain the most accurate data, rectal measurements are made in the morning, after waking up, before the start of any physical activity. Undoubtedly, pregnancy can be determined in this way only if measurements are taken on an ongoing basis - this will be the most objective and accurate assessment of one's own condition.

With the help of basal temperature, it is possible to accurately assess the onset of days favorable for conception - ovulation. During this period, the indicators rise slightly and reach an average of 37 degrees (the exact numbers for your own body will help determine the fixation of temperature data over several cycles). The increase lasts almost until the onset of menstruation, and about a week before they begin, it begins to decline to normal indicators. If the dynamics has changed and the decrease does not occur, then pregnancy is likely - during the bearing of the baby, the basal temperature does not fall.

Minor bleeding

Even minor bleeding causes concern in women, and this is not surprising, since they can also occur as a symptom of the disease. However, there are phenomena that are absolutely normal and typical for a pregnant woman. One of the first signs of pregnancy before a missed period is called implantation bleeding. This happens at the moment when the fertilized egg is introduced into the lining of the woman's uterus (fixed). It is known that the membranes of the uterus are well supplied with blood due to the developed vascular network, and during the introduction of the egg, trauma to the vessel may occur, which ends minor allocation blood. Usually the stage coincides with the time when, according to the plan, a new one should begin. menstrual cycle, for this reason, it is often confused with regular periods, especially if they are already not abundant. If you carefully monitor your condition, you can note the differences between this type of bleeding from menstruation:

short duration - usually no more than two days;
small volumes of secreted blood, it is red or pinkish, does not contain tissue fragments;

there are no spasmodic pains;

no increase in bleeding.

When pregnancy occurs (sometimes several times during it), the so-called breakthrough bleeding. This is the result of a change in hormonal levels, but not everyone has such a reaction. The phenomenon differs from menstruation by a small amount of secretion and a shorter duration.

Malaise

Due to changes in the level of progesterone in the body and an increase in temperature indicators in the first days of pregnancy, signs similar to the onset may appear colds. The malaise can be manifested by headaches, dizziness, weakness, increased fatigue and drowsiness. There are situations when, after conception, a woman’s level decreases against the background of such transformations. immune protection and there is a sore throat or runny nose.

This sign alone cannot be reliable for determining pregnancy, since the state of malaise occurs when various diseases and disturbances in the functioning of the body.

Increasing the sensitivity of the breast

The reaction of the breast occurs almost immediately after the implantation of the egg, and the changes affect the breast itself, and the nipples in particular. Of course, there will not be a strong change in size right away, but it may swell a little already in the first week. The chest may be unusually tight or painful to the lightest touch.

The sensitivity of the nipples increases, and so much so that touching can provoke severe irritation in a woman because of the intensity of sensations. Note changes in the color of the halos. It is worth mentioning Montgomery's tubercles - these are small vestigial glands that women notice on the areola of the nipples and sometimes think that this is a rash. Their presence is normal and may be quite noticeable in ordinary life, but when pregnancy occurs, they usually become more pronounced, pronounced - this sign is one of the first, indicating the fixation of a fertilized egg.

Feelings of fullness in the lower abdomen

At first, blood begins to actively flow to the uterus and it increases in size. Against this background, heaviness is formed, a feeling of fullness in the lower abdomen, which is considered one of the signs of pregnancy. Separately, it is worth noting the extremely unpleasant aspect of this phenomenon - hemorrhoids may appear. In primiparas, the complication most often occurs in the second half of pregnancy, when the increase in the uterus is already significant, but with repeated conceptions similar & side effect& can make itself known at the earliest possible date.

Aversion to smells

One of the first signs of conception is an aversion to smells, and in the early stages, the manifestation occurs in every second woman. This happens due to changes that affect the central nervous system future mother. Usually olfactory discomfort is combined with profuse salivation, changes in taste sensations and nausea.

Drowsiness, fatigue and distraction

When carrying a child, a woman's body is rebuilt in such a way that all forces go to the development of the fetus. The baby becomes a priority, in comparison with which others can lose their significance and importance.

Of great importance in this process is the high production of progesterone, which has an overwhelming effect on mental processes. Against this background, a pregnant woman becomes drowsy and forgetful, fatigue and weakness appear. You should not worry too much about this, this will not continue for all 40 weeks, because after two and a half months the placenta will begin to actively produce its own hormones, the level of estrogen will increase and drowsiness will go away, replaced by activity and cheerfulness. This symptom will help to understand that the girl is pregnant.

Vaginal discharge - normal phenomenon for female body, their type and intensity varies depending on the state of health, the current phase of the cycle and the general situation. But such a typical phenomenon can also be a signal that a new life has arisen in the body. Often this happens from the first days - the discharge is transparent, not too thick and without any pronounced smell. There may also be discharge similar to menstruation - this is implantation bleeding.

Every second expectant mother suffers from toxicosis in the early stages, and some consider this process to be normal, although in reality it is dangerous process, capable of disrupting the normal laying of all important organs and systems of the baby. In medicine under early toxicosis mean not only profuse salivation, nausea and vomiting, but also a number of others, severe symptoms: skin manifestations, convulsions, jaundice, bronchial asthma pregnant women, etc.

exact reasons this phenomenon not established, but there are several hypotheses. No one is immune from toxicosis, but experts identify a number of factors, the owners of which are more at risk of developing such a process when carrying a baby:

frequent stress;
malnutrition;
asthenic body type;
chronic diseases of the digestive system;
the presence of abortions in history;
liver and thyroid problems.

Frequent urination

If trips to the toilet have become more frequent (this can be especially clearly seen at night, when you have to get up several times a night to pee), and there are no unpleasant sensations (pain, pain, etc.), then this may indicate pregnancy . The phenomenon is explained by hormonal changes. Due to the restructuring, more blood flows to the uterus at first, and the blood vessels fill up, causing temporary changes in the functioning of the bladder and kidneys. You should not immediately drink some drugs, suspecting a disease, since very often such a manifestation indicates the birth of a new life.

Can a thrush talk about something?

Considering thrush as a sign of pregnancy is a dubious method, but in some cases such a dependence is true. It should be understood that fungi provoke thrush, not pregnancy. Dependency comes from next reason: the blood filling of the small pelvis begins to increase from the first days of fixation of the egg, which is why the amount of secretions increases, aimed at protecting the body from the mother from harmful microorganisms. The growth of the amount of the hormone estrogen begins to activate, which changes the microflora of the vagina and together creates favorable conditions for the growth of candida fungi. If this happens, then the discharge acquires a curdled texture and a specific smell, which irritates the mucous membrane and provokes itching. Thrush cannot be called a sign of pregnancy, but often it is against the background of conception this disease and begins its development.

Folk omens

Some trust folk omens- those patterns that have no medical justification, but have been isolated from the experience of generations. Relying on them completely is not worth it, because there are simpler and precise methods diagnosis of conception at home. though reliable folk methods cannot be named, some may coincide with reality:

a dream in which fish or watermelon was present may be a signal of conception;
mixing urine with a drop of iodine - if it dissolves, then pregnancy has come;
increased sexual desire;
v a small amount of urine should be poured with soda - the formation of bubbles is a sign of a positive response;
it is necessary to sit on your back and lay down from the navel about 8 centimeters. If a pulsation is felt in this place, then conception has occurred;
some simply guess whether there is a pregnancy or not, and plant two identical onions in glasses. The one whose feathers grow faster will be the answer.

Ectopic pregnancy in the early stages

Ectopic pregnancy - dangerous state when a fertilized egg does not reach the uterus and is fixed outside its cavity. The condition does not always have specific symptoms and can manifest itself in critical conditions. The most typical symptom of the disorder is pain, which is often localized only on one side of the abdomen (where the egg is fixed). Unpleasant sensations aggravated during walking and when turning the torso. In the early stages, there may be bloody issues, and quite plentiful and long.
