Signs & Symptoms of a Healthy Pregnancy

Light Bleeding

This may occur slightly before your regular period is supposed to start. It's a result of the fertilized egg attaching itself to your uterus. You may mistake this for your period, but it's actually shorter and lighter than a typical period.

Tiredness

Growing a baby is hard work, so it's natural that you feel more tired than usual.

Nausea and Vomiting

Often called "morning sickness"--though it can happen any time of day--it's normal to feel sick to your stomach during pregnancy. You may even vomit. However, you should contact your doctor if you are unable to keep down any food or liquids, as that can result in dehydration.

Mood Swings

The influx of hormones can cause you to be weepy or angry at a moment's notice.

Frequent Urination

As the baby grows, the uterus begins to press on your bladder, making you need to urinate more frequently.
