- Expected menstrual delay:
This is the most important condition that causes suspicion of pregnancy and is
mostly the first messenger of pregnancy. Even if a woman whose period is
delayed uses a contraceptive method such as a spiral, contraceptive, she should
still suspect pregnancy and have a pregnancy test or ultrasound examination to
be certain. Of course, not every menstrual delay means pregnancy.
- Nausea, vomiting
- Intolerance to food odors
- Fullness and tenderness in
the breasts
- Frequent urination
- Weakness, fatigue
- The tendency to sleep
- Groin pain
Pregnancy test and
ultrasound examination are required for definitive pregnancy diagnosis. The
fact that pregnancy is positive in pregnancy test does not necessarily mean
that it is a normal pregnancy, so ultrasound diagnosis must be confirmed with
ultrasound. Since it is very small in the first days of pregnancy and even in
the first weeks, there is a possibility that it cannot be seen on ultrasound.
However, when 5-6 weeks have passed since the last menstrual date, pregnancy
reaches a visible size with ultrasound. When the HCG level in the blood test
reaches the level of 1200-1500, pregnancy becomes visible only with vaginal
ultrasound.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT PREGNANCY SYMPTOMS
What are the symptoms of pregnancy?
Suspicion of pregnancy
usually begins with a delay in menstruation, but this may not always happen
because a patient may think of a bleeding that occurs during the establishment
of pregnancy. In this case, pregnancy begins without the suspicion of menstrual
delay. Symptoms such as anorexia, nausea, vomiting, and tenderness in the
breasts gradually start in the following weeks, when the pregnancy is 5-6 weeks
old, but these are not always essential. Without these symptoms, the pregnancy
may progress and the person notices that they are pregnant.
Does the absence of pregnancy symptoms mean a bad
condition?
No. Pregnancy symptoms do
not have the same frequency and severity in every pregnancy. Some women may
have no signs of pregnancy in the first months. This does not mean that there
is a problem, it does not indicate a problem with the baby.
Are the symptoms of pregnancy different for the baby
girl?
No, such a difference cannot
be mentioned. The woman's symptoms or reactions to food and drinks or the foods
she loves cannot give an idea about the sex of the baby, whether it is a boy or
a girl. Such words have no reality.
I have pregnancy symptoms, but it did not appear in the
pregnancy test, am I pregnant?
Nausea, vomiting, anorexia,
malaise, groin pain and other pregnancy symptoms do not only occur during
pregnancy, similar symptoms may occur in some other diseases and conditions.
These situations can be confused with pregnancy. Therefore, it is essential to
clarify the situation with a pregnancy test and a doctor's examination. Since
the pregnancy test in the blood is more reliable, there is probably no
pregnancy if there is no pregnancy in the blood test. Although urine pregnancy
test is not as reliable as in blood, it is more reliable than symptoms. In
short, it should not be fooled by the symptoms similar to pregnancy, it is
necessary to clarify the situation with a doctor's examination and pregnancy
tests, if necessary, with ultrasound. Not all women who have symptoms similar
to pregnancy are pregnant.
Here was a positive pregnancy test (there is a pregnancy)
in the blood, but no symptoms
This does not mean that
there is a problem. Some women have few or no symptoms of pregnancy. B-HCG,
that is, if the pregnancy test was positive in the blood, there is pregnancy,
whether it is a normal pregnancy or not can be clarified by looking at the
symptoms, but by the continuation of the examinations and the follow-up of the
pregnancy.
There were many symptoms in my first pregnancy, but now
not.
Symptoms may not be the same
in every pregnancy. It does not give an idea about the health of the pregnancy
or the sex of the girl and boy. In some women, while the symptoms and
complaints of pregnancy are high in the first pregnancy, it is less in
subsequent pregnancies, and in contrast, in the first pregnancy, some women
have more complaints.
Pregnancy symptoms suddenly disappeared, is there a
problem?
Nausea and vomiting from
pregnancy symptoms usually go around 12-14 weeks. The disappearance of these
symptoms or the disappearance of symptoms such as inguinal pain, weakness,
frequent urination do not mean a problem. As the uterus grows, it goes upward
in the abdomen and the pressure on the bladder disappears, so the complaint of
frequent urination may pass after the third month. For these reasons, passing
or decreasing the symptoms does not mean that there is a problem.
They said the baby is dead (or abortion) but I have signs
of pregnancy
In cases such as
miscarriage, empty pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy, mole pregnancy or even dead
pregnancy, pregnancy symptoms can be the same as in normal pregnancies because
B-HCG hormone (pregnancy hormone) is present in the blood. Pregnancy hormones
do not drop to zero immediately in the blood after abortion. It takes a few
weeks for the hormones to be completely reset.
