Do You See a Sign Of Pregnancy?

People learn about their pregnancy or the pregnancy of their significant other in a variety of ways. But what exactly is a surefire sign of pregnancy besides the burgeoning belly, the absence of the woman’s period or a baby forty weeks later? There are many possible indications that a woman may be pregnant.

One oft-cited sign of pregnancy in the first trimester appears in changes to their body and the way in which it ordinarily functions. For example, a woman’s menstrual cycle may change. She may experience a difference in the flow of her period. Or, she may find that she needs to urinate more often than she usually needs to. Also, a woman may be victim to the occasional bout of nausea, or morning sickness. This common tendency in the first trimester causes the woman to feel sick to the point where she may vomit. Many pregnant women cite this ailment and it is maybe the most common sign of pregnancy out of all bodily changes.

Spread the Word

Once she finds out, women choose unique and creative ways to share the news. One mom put a little bun in the oven and asked her husband to ‘take out the casserole for dinner’ when he came home from work. Another set of expectant parents send Grandpa and Grandma Mugs to their parents when they were expecting their first child. Or a positive pregnancy test stick in a gift box is another way to break the good news to your spouse.

In the second trimester, the body continues to change and express a new sign of pregnancy seemingly almost daily. One common sign of pregnancy occurs in changes to a pregnant woman’s breasts. Nipple size and protrusion level may change and the color of both nipple and areola might change, too. Many pregnant women also complain of indigestion, or heartburn, during this trimester -what a painful sign of pregnancy! This trimester also features the addition of varicose veins as a sign of pregnancy. This sign of pregnancy, unfortunately, usually lingers on and can afflict the woman the rest of her life unless medically removed.

In this last trimester, if one looks carefully, she or he can observe the baby in its current habitat - from the outside! Another observable sign of pregnancy in this trimester is the common popping out of the belly button. Then, after nine long months, the most momentous sign of pregnancy: the baby finally arrives!
