9. Metallic taste in mouth

This strange feeling is very peculiar to pregnancy. You may enjoy a metallic taste inside your mouth which can remain throughout the day. Also you may feel uncomfortable due to some particular smell around. This aversion may leave you frustrated out of no reason.

10. Food aversions

You would end up throwing even more tantrums regarding choice of food. This is another common pregnancy symptom. You may feel nauseous by the smell or taste or even the appearance of some food which have been your favourite for quite a long time.

11. Lack of Appetite

Due to nausea, vomiting and aversion to various odours, your appetite will suffer. You might have craving for a particular dish but do not feel like eating it when served. Also you may have a craving for pickles. During this initial phase of pregnancy your appetite is supposed to be on its trough, however; you need not worry, for it increases during the later stages of pregnancy.

12. Constipation

Due to this hormonal chaos inside your body, the digestive system couldn’t stand untouched. The elevated progesterone levels can affect your digestive system. You could suffer from constipation as your food is being very slow inside the intestines.

13. Mood swings

Mood swings might be an uninvited guest during pregnancy. This happens due to hormonal changes that take place in your body. The variations in the hormone levels affect neurotransmitters of the brain, which cause enhanced emotions, from spells of weeping to sudden anger outbursts. In short, you could put hulk to shame and at the same time be very sensitive about how your eye liner missed the correct line of application by a few nanometres.

14. Headaches & Backaches

Your blood sugar levels may drop along with blood pressure due to which you might get headaches as your brain would struggle to keep up working with the less sugar content available than normal.

15. Shortness of Breath

When you conceive, it is not only you alone who needs oxygen. Your body has to share blood and oxygen with the foetus inside. Due to this, you may experience breathing problems. Breathlessness and getting tired after doing normal physical movements like using stairs or a short walk are quite normal during pregnancy. However, it may indicate any other breathing problem such as allergic asthma.

16, Excessive thirst

During the early stages of pregnancy, the blood volume is increasing inside your body, so it would require you to take lots of fluid. You might feel excessive thirst. Now this cycle starts when you drink lots of water, then you have this strong urge to pee. This would, in turn, again require you to drink more water.

Bottom line

Trust me, your body is very smart. It can tell you just one or two weeks after conceiving. All those symptoms listed above are good enough to get a rough idea about pregnancy. But remember, we also have doctors for that. Before concluding, visit a doctor to be sure or use a pregnancy test kit after missing your period.

Also these symptoms may not always be signs of pregnancy; it can indicate other health problems or just be pre menstrual symptoms. So once again, let the doctor do his job and tell you which the case is.
