A Quick List of Common Pregnancy Symptoms

1. Fuller, sore breasts and nipples
2. Lots of bathroom trips, and you’re thirstier than usual
3. Sensitivity to smells and food aversions, feeling disgust at an odor or food that didn’t bother you before; nausea with or without throwing up
4.  Fatigue
5.  No period, or light blood spotting
6.  Food cravings
7.  Crankiness
8.  Bloating: puffy eyelids, tighter waistbands and bra straps
9.  Darker nipples
10.  Occasional feelings of dizziness or light-headedness
11. A positive pregnancy test!

It’s important to know, though, that you could have all of the symptoms (except the last one) and still not be pregnant. Also, you can have a positive pregnancy test and none of the symptoms and still be pregnant. And you can have all of the symptoms, be pregnant and get a negative test if you test early, like in the first two weeks after conception.
