Delayed menstrual cycle, morning sickness and sore breasts are some of the first signs that indicate pregnancy.
However, according to the British Marie Louise, author of The Modern Midwife’s Guide to Pregnancy (The Modern Midwife’s Guide to Pregnancy, in free translation) there are other not so common symptoms that can also indicate that a baby is on the way. .
In an interview with The Huffington Post in England, she listed some of these less common symptoms:
desire to eat carbohydrates
According to the specialist, at the beginning of pregnancy or even before discovering it, many women report the desire to eat carbohydrates, such as french fries and bread. Usually, the desire to eat a specific food occurs when the pregnancy is more advanced.
change in taste
One change brought about by pregnancy is a change in taste, known as dysgeusia. This alteration leads the pregnant woman to feel a metallic taste in her mouth and even reject foods that she used to love.
night sweats
Marie Louise says that feeling hot and sweaty at night is a little talked about symptom, but very common among pregnant women.
bleeding
The clearest sign of pregnancy is the absence of menstruation. However, Marie reports that about 20% of women bleed early in pregnancy.
Called implantation bleeding, it occurs between the 7th and 14th day after the egg has been fertilized by a sperm.
“While all bleeding during pregnancy needs to be investigated or discussed with a healthcare professional, it’s actually quite common and doesn’t always indicate that something is wrong,” I state.
Tiredness
Excessive tiredness can also be a sign of pregnancy. It is extremely common during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. The reason is hormonal changes in the body.
