In the first week of pregnancy, as a rule, there are no sensations at all: there is no stomach yet, nothing hurts, movements begin when the fetus already reaches a solid size. Women planning to conceive tend to be restless about their well-being, so they can attribute the slightest changes to the onset of pregnancy. In fact, the main signs appear from about the fourth or fifth obstetric week. These include:
• nausea in the morning;
• soreness in the chest;
• delays and lack of menstruation;
• changes in the figure (hormonal changes affect weight gain);
• changes in the genitals (swelling, color change, etc.).
The first month is considered the so-called critical period, during which the slightest influence can lead to a miscarriage, and the woman does not even know that she was pregnant. Therefore, the best thing to do in the early stages is not to be nervous and wait for signs to appear that will confirm or refute the assumptions that have appeared.
