First Signs and Symptoms of Pregnancy

How can you be sure you are pregnant? If you are unusually tuned in to your body, you

might begin to suspect you are pregnant as soon as the first few days after conception

or even earlier. When Jillian nd her husband, John, were planning to conceive their

second child, she kept track of her temperature every morning. Based on the figures on

her chart, averaged over a period of several months, she chose a day that seemed right

for making the big attempt, and she and her husband made love on that day. "A few hours

later," Jillian told me, "I felt twinges in my left side." She knew this meant she was

ovulating. She turned to John and said, "Let's start thinking of boys' names. I believe

we have just made a baby."

Jillian became aware of tenderness and fullness in her breasts, and when her period did

not arrive within two weeks, she came to see me. The doctor was able to confirm her

pregnancy by means of an internal examination and a pregnancy test. Their son was born

less than nine months later.

While few women can pinpoint their children's conception with Jillian's accuracy, many

notice signs of pregnancy within days of their expected period. If you have been trying

to conceive a child, you are more likely to interpret these signs correctly. Otherwise,

it is easy to confuse the tender breasts, tiredness, and moody feelings with

premenstrual tension. In fact, it is not unusual for your fatigue and feelings of

malaise to be so strong that you think you are ill.
