Some women say they know the exact moment they conceived, some women notice signs before they miss a period, while others don’t know they’re pregnant for several weeks. In early pregnancy you could notice:
- Tender breasts that seem to be growing already!
- Slight bleeding or cramping as the embryo implants in your uterus.
- Nausea or sickness can start very early for some women.
- Extreme tiredness... yes, it might not just be too many late nights, after all!
- Needing to have a wee more often.
Most women ovulate two weeks before their period starts. So by the time you miss a period, your unborn baby is two weeks old. But because pregnancy is dated from the first day of your last period, you are said to be four weeks pregnant. If you have a cycle of five weeks, your baby will still only be two weeks old when you miss your period, but your midwife will put you down as five weeks pregnant!
