Signs of Pregnancy & Early Pregnancy Symptoms

Constipation & Wind:

When the woman is pregnant , hormones increased which can effect on the intestines, making them more relaxed –it makes the more space for the baby as the uterus expands. As a result the women may get constipation. But there are some constipation remedies available from the pharmacist that are safe for pregnancy.

Sense of Smell:

Food and cooking smells are usually the culprit, however every woman is different and may dislike all sorts of smells.

Nasal Stuffiness / Colds:

At an early age, a foetus is very clever. In a healthy pregnancy, the immune system is prevented and suppressed from rejecting and attacking the foetus as if it were an foreign object by hormones and antibodies the foetus produces. The antibodies also take part in the development and growth of the placenta. Due to the hormonal changes to your immune system,women are more susceptible to colds and flu.

Cravings / Changes in Taste:

When the woman is pregnant ,the hormone level in the blood can reflect in saliva. A metallic taste in the mouth alters the taste of foods that usually enjoy. Some women will not eat meat and some women gag when brushing their teeth from their toothpaste!

Change in Colour of Vagina:

When the woman is pregnant ,then the level of blood is increased in the pelvic region, then vagina will appear more purplish than normal.
