Pregnancy is a long roller coaster of emotions and symptoms.  Each week has exciting new things taking place!  If you suspect that you’re pregnant, you’ll most likely “just know”.  You will have that feeling and feel a little off.  Some people experience no symptoms while others experience every single one.  No two pregnancies are alike!  If you suspect that you may be pregnant, here are a few of the symptoms you will feel right from the beginning.

What are the First Signs of Being Pregnant?

• You of course will have no period for the month.
• It is common to feel more tired and lethargic.
• Cramping like how you do during your period sometimes occurs.
• Morning sickness is common or just feeling nauseated.
• Your breasts may become very tender.
• Your gut instinct will tell you that you’re pregnant.
• A positive (+) pregnancy test.

Pregnancy is a very exciting thing.  It is something you can’t explain until you experience it first hand.  There are so many milestones we look forward to and enjoy during the process.  Between the first ultrasound, feeling your baby move for the first time, and getting that huge belly bump, it makes the long, morning sickness trip all worth it all of a sudden.

When I was pregnant I liked to know everything that was going on.  I wanted to know how my baby was developing each week, what symptoms I’d be experiencing, and I wanted some help on knowing what to eat during my pregnancy.  In order to learn all of that I of course asked my OB/GYN, but also read books as well.  Here are some of the top pregnancy books if you’re interested in reading about your pregnancy!

Pregnancy is a very exciting thing, and reading about it makes it even more exciting!  Our bodies work in magical ways, and reading about it each week only makes it better!
