Pregnancy signs - a week

Among the girls who have not yet experienced the joy of motherhood, it is widely believed that pregnancy can be felt immediately, practically from the first hours of conception. In addition, some already giving birth to ladies, this myth and kindle, saying that they "felt" the first signs of pregnancy at 1 week.

However, doctors insist that in the first 13-15 days of conception, no processes that can cause external manifestations occur in the body. Therefore, there are no signs that pregnancy can be detected in the first weeks, in principle. After all, in fact, the first week of pregnancy according to the obstetrical method is the week from the first day of menstruation. But you will agree, this week of conception, and consequently of pregnancy, simply does not exist, and it is not possible to define it.

What can indicate the onset of pregnancy?

The only but not reliable signs of pregnancy in the first weeks are the absence of menstruation. However, the delay may also arise for other reasons, sometimes indicative of an evolving disease.

The first week of conception is the week after ovulation, and the first signs of pregnancy occur on the second or third:

• swelling of the mammary glands;
• urge to urinate;
• intolerance to harsh odors;
• dizziness;
• vaginal discharge;
• nervousness with mood swings.

This list can be extended, including some other individual signs, characteristic even for the first week of pregnancy, signs and sensations. For example:

• nervous tension;
• change in taste preferences;
• increased sensitivity of mammary glands;
• pain in the lower abdomen;
• increase in basal temperature.

However, all these symptoms are unlikely. Possible, but also unreliable fact - increased basal body temperature . If the temperature in the future of the expected monthly few days is kept within 37 and above, then with a small probability you can judge about pregnancy. In this case, do not exclude the inflammatory processes that occur in the body.

Also, about the first signs of pregnancy, a week after conception, implantation bleeding can speak. But it also happens only in 3% of women and many are mistaken for the onset of menstruation.

Summarizing all of the above, we can say that for every woman the first week of pregnancy does not manifest itself completely with any symptoms and signs. Even a gynecologist can not always determine a pregnancy in such a short time. Therefore, signs of pregnancy, even after a week of delay, may be absent. However, it is always possible to determine your condition with a test . But even he will show the second strip in 10-12 days.
