There are many ways to know if you are pregnant. Early Pregnancy Symptoms Are Missed Period Or Morning Sickness the first one is normally the morning sickness (nausea/vomiting) which doesn't have to happen in the morning for it to be morning sickness this can happen at anytime of the day or night, that's why this phrase bugs the life out of me why call this symptom morning sickness when it can happen at anytime, all you can do is try and eat small and frequent snacks throughout the day to try to get through the sickness if you are pregnant.

Some pregnant women have really strange cravings too, some cravings I have heard of are licking or sucking coal which I think sounds disgusting, also pickled onions by the barrel load, and salsa with spoon in one hand jar in the other eating it like it's a yogurt yuck. But each to their own if that's what they want then that's what new daddy to be has to rush out to the twenty four hour store at three in the morning, just to satisfy his "blooming" pregnant wife.

Also you may have breast tenderness just like the feeling in the breasts when you are on your period which is really uncomfortable feeling, especially if your partner catches you in that area obviously you or he dont know you are pregnant yet doesn't help that, or you sleep on your stomach at night, this tenderness is caused by the increase in the hormone HCG.

Also gaining weight can be a big sign of how to know if you are pregnant especially when you're not eating fatty foods, such as pizza, burgers, high calorie portions of food and are not drinking lots of alcohol but still increasing in weight, then I would suggest you do a pregnancy test.

Am I pregnant, do you feel the need to use the toilet lots more than usual this is your uterus swelling and enlarging for the fetus to grow the uterus puts pressure on the bladder which makes you feel like you are going to burst and need to stop turn round and head to the toilet quickly and if you are not near a toilet there could be disastrous consequences.

Is your day feeling longer or are you just feeling more tired, but feeling tired is a natural thing to happen if you work and are up early each day, why would you think oh I may be pregnant, but tiredness is one of the most common symptom of pregnancy, due to drastic hormonal changes your temperature also goes through the roof, so don't convince yourself you've got just a fever the high temperature is because of the amount of progesterone circulating through your body and making you feel like trash.

Obviously we all know if you miss a period then something is not right, but not all women miss periods when they are pregnant there are lots of women who go throughout there whole pregnancy still having periods and then find out they are in labour that they are giving birth, now wouldn't that be a shock.

Heartburn sometimes happens in some women but not all women this is caused by the hormones slowing down your digestive system and the uterus growing and pushing upwards and this feels like you've been punched in the stomach.

Constipation or piles can be a sign also but not all pregnant women suffer with these symptoms, due to hormones slowing down the bowel movements, and if you do have any of these then go to your Gp for advice because both of these can hurt a great deal, when you have constipation you'll feel as though you're already giving birth when trying to go to the toilet that is how much it aches (ouch).

Dizziness or fainting can happen in pregnancy because of the pressure of the uterus putting strain on the legs and veins in them which lowers your blood pressure and could cause you to faint or feel like you've just walked off a fair ride or something.

If you're still not quite sure and you have any of the symptoms above or feel there's any possibility that you are be pregnant go and see your GP as soon as you can.
