Common Symptoms of Pregnancy
Whether you’ve recently had a positive pregnancy test or you’re considering taking one, it can be helpful to refresh yourself on common pregnancy symptoms.
The American Pregnancy Association lists common symptoms as:
- Spotting or light bleeding
- A missed period
- Tender breasts
- Nausea
- Fatigue
While these are typical early symptoms of pregnancy, there are some others such as:
- Headaches
- Food aversions or cravings
- Mood swings
- Frequent urination
- Backaches
Could it Be Pregnancy or Something Else?
Whenever you experience new symptoms, it’s important to make sure they are symptoms of pregnancy and not another condition. When it comes to experiencing a backache, you may want to make sure it isn’t caused by something else such as a pulled muscle.
Confirming Your Pregnancy
The best way to make sure whether what you’re experiencing is a symptom of pregnancy would be to confirm your pregnancy. Avenue Women’s Center is equipped with medical-grade pregnancy tests that are accurate just ten days after conception.
Receiving Healthcare
If you’re pregnant, or if you’re experiencing concerning symptoms, it’s always a good idea to visit your trusted healthcare provider. A doctor can provide you with accurate and updated information about your health and the best steps to take to ensure you stay healthy.
While pregnancy could explain your newfound backache, it’s also important to rule other things out. Confirming your pregnancy is a good first step to take toward knowing what to do next. Along with a free pregnancy test, our consultants would love to listen to any of your concerns and answer questions you have.
