Early pregnancy symptom. Other Changes You May Notice
In early pregnancy, you may need to urinate frequently. It can continue during most of your pregnancy and become particularly annoying near delivery, as your uterus enlarges and puts pressure on your bladder.
You may notice changes in your breasts. Tingling or soreness in the breasts or nipples is common. You may also see a darkening of the areola or an elevation of the glands around the nipple. (See Week 13 for more information on how your breasts are affected by pregnancy.)
Another early symptom of pregnancy is tiring easily. This common symptom may continue throughout pregnancy. Be sure to take your prenatal vitamins and any other medications prescribed by your healthcare provider, and get enough rest. If you experience fatigue, avoid sugar and caffeine; either can make the problem worse.
How Your Actions Affect Your Baby's Development
When Should You Visit the Doctor?
One of the first questions you may ask yourself when you suspect you're pregnant is,
When should I see my doctor ?
Good prenatal care is necessary to the health of the baby and mother-to-be. Make an appointment to see your physician as soon as you are reasonably sure you're pregnant. This could be as early as a few days after a missed period.
