Most women during a two-week pregnancy are not even aware of their new condition, they do not feel any changes, internal and external. Sometimes there are some sensations that can indirectly indicate the onset of pregnancy.
What a woman might feel.
• Soreness of the chest. This sign usually appears very first. The breast is already beginning to prepare for the production of milk under the influence of the hormone progesterone. In the second week of pregnancy, the nipples may increase slightly in size and become more sensitive. Touching and a tight bra can cause discomfort and pain.
• Change in mucous secretions. At the very beginning of pregnancy, the amount of natural secretions increases. During ovulation, they are usually similar in structure to egg white, but after conception they become more liquid and odorless. Hormonal changes and other changes in a woman's body can cause the development of thrush, which is manifested by white or yellowish-green discharge with a sour smell. Such symptoms should not be ignored. You need to see a doctor right away.
• Increased emotionality. In the body of a pregnant woman, the concentration of estrogen and progesterone rises sharply, which affects her psycho-emotional state. Joy can be quickly replaced by tearfulness or irritability. Often the woman herself cannot find an explanation for such sudden changes in mood.
• Drowsiness and fatigue. The conception and development of a new life is a great stress for the body. At this moment, all forces are directed to maintaining the vital activity of the embryo. Therefore, it is not surprising that the expectant mother feels constant fatigue, she has a desire to sleep longer and relax.
• Heaviness in the lower abdomen. A pregnant woman in the second week after conception may be disturbed by pain in the lower abdomen, usually they are associated with the period of implantation of the fetal egg into the uterine wall. Such sensations are temporary and are not associated with severe and acute pain. In addition, abdominal discomfort can also occur due to intestinal upset. This is a fairly common occurrence at the very beginning of pregnancy, associated with hormonal changes in the body and the effect of hormones on the digestive tract.
There are other indirect signs of pregnancy, but they do not appear in everyone and are not always associated with the birth of a new life:
• deterioration of sleep and early awakenings;
• tingling in the lower back;
• heaviness in the limbs;
• decrease or increase in appetite;
• bouts of nausea;
• frequent urge to urinate;
• slight increase in basal body temperature;
• heartburn;
• slight weight loss or gain.
What does a woman look like.
The appearance of a woman in the second week of pregnancy does not change. The abdomen remains in the same state, it will begin to grow much later, although the uterus itself has already begun to increase. Of the small changes, one can note the appearance of a blush on the cheeks, which is associated with increased blood circulation. An unpleasant sign of pregnancy can be acne, which occurs due to changes in hormonal levels.
