Early Signs of Pregnancy
Obviously the best proof is a pregnancy test. However, before you miss a period, you may suspect — or hope — that you're pregnant. There are some early symptoms which you may become aware of within a few weeks of conception.
Most of the early signs of pregnancy are the result of hormone changes in your body. These changes can lead to headaches and mood swings as well as physical changes in your body.
You may notice that you feel unusually tired. This is due to a number of factors. Your blood pressure lowers in pregnancy, blood sugar levels decrease and at the same time blood production increases. Quantities of a hormone known as progesterone rise sharply. The combination of all these changes in your body often induces tiredness and loss of energy.
Possibly the best known symptom is morning sickness. This may occur at any time of the day or night. It can start as early as two weeks after conception. Your sense of smell may become sharper which may cause you to feel nauseous.
Stomach cramps may strike at any time causing nausea and sometimes causing you to vomit
You may develop cravings for certain, very specific foods or aversions to some types of foods.
You might notice slight vaginal discharge that is a lighter color than your normal period. The bleeding may well be sporadic and not as long lasting as a normal period.
Feel your breasts, do they feel swollen, sore or tender? Hormonal changes will take place during pregnancy and can start very early. Your breasts may also feel fuller and heavier.
Are you constipated? Pregnancy can cause food to pass through your system more slowly.
You may feel light-headed, faint or dizzy occasionally.
Now, obviously these symptoms are not just symptoms of pregnancy. There could be many reasons why you are feeling one or all of these. The only certain way to tell if you are pregnant is with a proper test.
If you suspect you may be pregnant you need to be certain as soon as possible so that you can plan your next step. The sooner you take a test the better.

Pregnancy Fatigue
You will probably find that you experience extra tiredness during the first three months of your pregnancy and the last three months.
Fitness and Rest
During pregnancy and early childhood your body goes through a lot of change. You need rest in order to allow your body time to adjust to what is happening. But you also need to be fit to cope with the extra rigours of this time in your life. So exercise is important both to tire you for good sleep and to keep you healthy. Don't overdo it.
Be Aware of Your Body
Keep a lookout for anything that seems different so that you can anticipate possible problems. Discuss anything that seems unusual to you with your physician or antenatal support team.
Diet
Follow a well balanced diet. You may want to discuss any special dietary needs you have with your doctor.
Exercise
Take regular, but not too strenuous exercise.
Rest
Allow time for rest every day.
Shopping
Shop online for your groceries and other needs to save the stress of shopping.
Make sure you are getting sufficient vitamins, particularly folic acid and iron.
When Will I Start To Feel Better?
By then your body will have become accustomed to the physical and hormonal changes taking place. In the meantime, don't worry, nearly all the unusual symptoms you're experiencing are perfectly normal. The vast majority of pregnancies have successful and happy outcomes.
You'll find that you can probably manage most of what happens to you on your own with a little common sense. However, if you' re really worried or concerned about any aspect that you feel may be abnormal, have a chat with your doctor or physician.
