The Pregnancy Test $3.95 Ordinarily, I’m a fan of pink–lovely color, does smashing things for the complexion. But not when it’s the bright, glaring stripe staring back at me on the pregnancy test. Then, pink is the color of major oops, of morning sickness, of boyfriends who seemed decent but now are part of some Jerk Witness Protection Program. Still, I’ve got a few things going for me–bitter humor, a divine right to eat till I’m the size of Marlon Brando, and good friends who’ve managed to get me a job interview with one Damien Sharpton: in need of a personal assistant, and some say, a good, swift kick in the arse. If you want to make a lasting impression, by all means, toss your cookies in your future boss’s wastebasket, which is located directly between his excruciatingly sexy legs. Apparently, Mr. Gorgeous-But-Unbearably-Anti-Social must like personal assistants who violate his trash can, because I got the job. And if I can avoid him via text messaging for the next seven months of health insurance, everything will be just fine. Except that he’s just asked–no, insisted–that I go with him on a business trip to the Caribbean. Gulp, Ordinarily, this would be cause for celebration. Ordinarily, I’d shave my legs, pack my bikini, revel in day-glo drinks and my seething lust for Mr. Swarthy-And-Secretive. But there’s nothing ordinary about this situation…which means it could be absolutely extraordinary.

Knowing The Beginning Signs Of Pregnancy

The beginning symptoms of early pregnancy vary depending on the woman and her circumstances. Some women can go months without realizing they are pregnant, while others know within weeks of conception. It is important to know the early signs, which come in a variety of symptoms.

The first sign, for a lot of women is a skipped period but there are other symptoms that may occur well before a missed cycle. As the hormonal balances shift, there are a number of changes on a physical as well as an emotional level. Women are prone to experience at least one of the common symptoms.

But there are symptoms and first signs that most women experience in the early stages of the pregnancy.

Fatigue is a common first sign. There is a lot of internal preparation necessary for a new baby. The blood supply increases to facilitate the growing foetus. This takes away a lot of energy from the expectant mother, causing her to sleep more than usual. But getting proper rest is essential to the health of the mother and the child that is on the way.

Other common clues involve tenderness in the area of the breasts. A feeling of heaviness and soreness is the result of the hormonal shifts taking place within the body. It passes as the woman’s term matures. Woman may also experience faintness. This may either be hormonal or the result of low blood sugar.

And we have all heard about the cravings women experience during beginning stages of a pregnancy. Some women have extreme yearnings for certain foods, often times being unusual combinations such as chocolate syrup poured over a plate of French fries. Food aversions may also develop. The mere smell of a certain food may cause nausea. Morning sickness is another common occurrence in the beginning stages. It is called morning sickness but may occur at any time. Nausea is the result of the rapidly rising estrogen levels a pregnant woman undergoes. This causes the stomach to empty its contents at a slower pace thus resulting in sickness. Fortunately, it passes as the baby develops.

Some women ease through their pregnancies without any issues. But it is important to realize not all first signs indicate a woman is pregnant. A more serious issue may be at hand, and it is always best to see your doctor when experiencing unusual physical changes.

The minute you think that you are pregnant, either schedule a pregnancy test at your doctor’s office, or take the more expedient option and take a home test. The earlier you do this, the better. A proper diet, prenatal care needs and frequent doctor office visits will all help achieve a safe nine months and ultimately a healthy baby.
