SIGNS YOU MIGHT BE PREGNANT, YOU SHOULD NEVER IGNORE

#1. You can fall asleep just about anywhere and at anytime. Your body is working overtime making your womb the perfect place for your baby to grow. It is only normal to want to get in more naps than usual.

#2. You are constipated and your diet has not changed much. The increase in progesterone levels slow down food digestion. This makes going to the bathroom really uncomfortable and sometimes painful for some women. Adding more fiber to your diet can help.


#3. You are hungry in the middle of the night. You certainly develop a ravenous appetite for certain types of food like desserts or sour things.


#4. That delicious pasta that made your mouth water last week all the sudden makes you ill. Although doctors are not 100% sure what causes an aversion to certain smells, it is believed it’s due to high progesterone levels. Most women feel better by the second trimester. For others, the aversion to certain smells lasts throughout the pregnancy.


#5. A commercial, note or even a conversation will have you weeping like a child, don’t worry it’s totally normal. Mood swings are completely common when pregnant. The increase in hormone levels and changes is reason enough for your family and friends to give you a break.



#6. Feeling dizzy but you are standing on a flat floor. In the first trimester, dizziness is caused by low blood pressure. Progesterone causes the blood vessels to widen and relax, therefore the flow of blood is slower.

#7. A thin dark line appears from the belly down to the pubic area. Linea nigra has always been there but it darkens with high hormone levels during pregnancy. Don’t shave it, it usually goes away after birth. Old wives’ tale says that this line is the route babies use to find their mom’s breast to nurse.


#8. The hormone progesterone relaxes the muscles during pregnancy. This included the valve in the stomach that keeps acid away from the esophagus. As the baby grows, it is pushing itself onto the stomach, making the acid to travel to the esophagus. Contrary to popular belief it has nothing to do with a having a baby with a full set of hair.
