There are a number of things that occur very soon after a baby has been conceived - both to the mother and the baby!
And within the next few hours as the egg and sperm combine, everything about this new life is determined by the parents
Are You Pregnant?
When was your last period and when is your next one due? The greatest likelihood of becoming pregnant occurs just about
mid-way between periods. Is that when you had sex?
If conception has taken place, about 8 days later some women experience spotting (like a very light period but not) and
some cramps. This doesn't happen to everybody, but it can be a sign that something is happening in your body. That
"something" is actually the unborn child implanting itself in the uterine wall where it will grow for the next nine months.
If you are pregnant, because of the changes taking place inside your body, as early as one week after conception, you may
feel extremely tired at any time during the day.
Sometimes as early as one to two weeks after conception, some women notice that their breasts are tender to touch or
slightly swollen.
Areolas are the skin around your nipples, and pregnancy causes this skin to darken.
This is one of the most common indicators that conception may have taken place. However, some women still have "mini"
periods even while pregnant, but this would be very light and for a very short time. Meanwhile, if you are pregnant, by
about the time you've missed your period, your baby's heart has started beating.
If you are pregnant, the sudden rise of hormones in your body may cause you to have headaches.
If you are pregnant, nausea may occur between 2 and 8 weeks after conception. This can occur any time of day, not just
mornings. Some women never experience this, and others do. It's during this time period that your baby has been growing
rapidly. By about 6 weeks his/her brain waves can be recorded, and by 8 weeks his/her body is complete, right down to the
fingerprints which will be carried throughout life.
If you have several of these early pregnancy symptoms, the best thing to do now is have a pregnancy test to confirm or deny
your suspicions. Do not wait!
You don't have to come up with the money or sneak into a pharmacy to get a pregnancy test. If you think you might be
pregnant, here's an easy way to find out.
