Symptoms of pregnancy can appear as early as the first week after conception. Most women, however, do not feel any symptoms until 4-6 weeks into their pregnancy.

Typically, a pregnancy test can detect a pregnancy within a few days of a missed period. Most home pregnancy tests can be taken on the first day of a missed period, but the accuracy increases the longer you wait. It is suggested that a home pregnancy test be taken at least one week after a missing period.

The most frequent type of stomach pain in early pregnancy is caused by uterus cramps. This is commonly felt in the lower abdomen and can be accompanied by back pain.

Pregnancy nausea usually feels like a combination of queasiness, dizziness, and stomach discomfort. It can range from moderate to severe and be followed by vomiting. Some women also have dietary aversions and cravings.

It is not recommended to go to bed hungry while pregnant. A healthy diet is essential for both the mother and the child. Going to bed hungry might result in low blood sugar levels, which can be risky for both the mother and the baby.

The amount of weight gained during pregnancy is determined by your pre-pregnancy weight. Typically, women who had normal weight prior to pregnancy should gain between 25 and 35 pounds. Those who are underweight should gain 28 to 40 pounds, whereas women who are overweight should gain 15 to 25 pounds.
