Symptoms of Pregnancy in First Week

What are the symptoms of pregnancy in first week?

Even before you miss your periods, you may sometimes get some early signs of pregnancy. But many early signs of pregnancy can sometimes feel similar to premenstrual symptoms too.

When do the early signs of pregnancy start? 

Do you remember when you had your past periods? This date is considered week 1 of pregnancy – yes, even if you were not pregnant at this date. Then week 2 of pregnancy is the next week from your period and so on. So do women get the symptoms of pregnancy in first week? 

Even before you miss your periods, you may sometimes get some early signs of pregnancy. For some women, early symptoms of pregnancy start to show up in the first few weeks after conception. However, other women may just experience no pregnancy symptoms at all. It’s only when they take a pregnancy test at home that they come to know about their pregnancy. 

Many early signs of pregnancy can sometimes feel similar to premenstrual symptoms too. So the best way to find out about your pregnancy is to take a pregnancy test at home. However, if you are willing to wait for a missed period (the earliest sign of pregnancy) to take the test, the following list is for you. These are also the symptoms of pregnancy in first month. 

These are some of the early signs of pregnancy (pregnancy symptoms week 1) before a missed period: 

  • Painful breasts: this could be a sign that you’re pregnant, but it could also just be because you’re going through puberty.
  • Feeling low on energy 
  • Sensitivity to smell 
  • Rise in your basal metabolic temperature (normal body temperature) 
  • Tiredness: this could be a sign that you’re pregnant – though obviously there could be other causes!
  • Nausea: if you’ve been feeling sick for a few days, especially in the morning, it’s a good idea to do a pregnancy test.
  • Your period doesn’t start.
  • You only have a very small amount of bleeding. Sometimes you can have a little bleeding when you’re pregnant.
  • Headaches 
  • Constipation 
  • Feeling lightheaded or dizzy – as if you are fainting 
  • Mood sings 
  • Aversion to some foods
  • Frequent urination 

How soon can you get early signs of pregnancy? 

Before you miss your periods, you may notice some symptoms like sensitivity to smell and tender breasts. These symptoms may appear in some women as soon as a few days after conception. 

However, many women may get other early symptoms of pregnancy like spotting or nausea almost one week after the sperm meets egg. After two weeks of conceiving many women may also have pregnancy symptoms like tender breasts and frequent urination. That said, early pregnancy symptoms appear at various times in different women. So these early signs of pregnancy are no way of detecting a pregnancy. 

If you have had unprotected sex and worried about pregnancy, please take a home pregnancy test at the earliest.

Haha No - these are not conclusive signs of any sort fo pregnancy. Symptoms don’t come so soon anyway. It’s perhaps fear and nervousness more than anything else. Just relax. If you want to be double sure - do a home test - after 10 days of this act... and then NEVER have sex without a condom.

Of course a pregnancy is possible if you still have regular periods. Have you taken a home test? Please do that and then decide what course of action you want to take.

Is it compulsory to have intercourse while ovulation period only for conceiving or if we try before that also works. I feel my ovulation as I get bad abdominal pain in right lower part for one day only. This month this happen on 16 Sept 20. We are trying for baby and we tried on 14,15 Sept. what is chance for being pregnant?
Bete to get pregnant you have to have an egg in your body - and that is ovulation. BUT tummy pain is not a reliable measure of fertile period you rather chart it with a calender. Now actually you have had sex before your Ovulation days - so the chnaces this time are slim. Anyway, during ovulation, Yes the chances are there but one can ever be sure. Nor is it a Sure shot in one go - there are so many factors at play BUT - you can start with a Home test maybe tomorrow? Early morning sample is best. AND find a calendar in the link below and now mark your dates. DO have sex then, at least on each of the days. Avoid masturbation, your partner mainly. https://lovematters.in/en/our-bodies/ovulation-calendar-how-to-calculate-ovulation For more and quick response write here: https://lovematters.in/forum
I HAD PROTECTED SEX. BUT BEFORE USING CONDOM WE CLEANED IT AND PUT IT INSIDE FOR 1 TIME. MY PERIODS DATE WILL COME IN 9 DAYS. IS THERE IS ANY PROBLEM? SHOULD I GET MY PREGNACY TEST DONE?
Cleaned it? Cleaned what? Hope not the condom? Why will you do that Bete? As long as you had protected sex - there ought to be no fear of pregnancy. Your periods are almost here - so lets wait for them to come - or you can do a test - if you feel more secure. https://lovematters.in/en/pregnancy/home-pregnancy-tests-dos-and-donts For more and quick response write here: https://lovematters.en/forum

Symptoms don’t come so soon anyway, you do a Home Test at least 10 after sex to see if there is a pregnancy.

I and my bf got intimated on 27 Sept but didn't had any intercourse was just a foreplay and my due date for the periods was 16 october.but,still I didn't got my periods till now. Am very worried about it that why is this happening? Can you please tell the reasons of this and what can I do for this?
If you are sure, there hadn't been unsafe sex- don't be so afraid of it... Periods are too late- because of stress, tension or hormonal changes... So the best would be immediately find a doctor. https://lovematters.in/hi/pregnancy/pregnancy-scare If you would like to join in on a further discussion on this topic, join our discussion board, "Just Ask” https://lovematters.in/en/forum
