Pregnant! Congratulations, this is a very special time for mother to be and her partner.
Mum is going to be going through a lot of changes.
She will be worried about how her body is going to change, scared about the birth.
You May have morning sickness which can sometimes be so debilitating that it can result in you spending a lot of time on the couch just not knowing how to carry on and wondering how you are going to get through the day.
This can start from as early as 2 weeks and last for up to 14 weeks.
Below are some early signs of pregnancy before a missed period:-

• Swollen Breasts - This can be one of the earliest signs.
  Your breasts will become swollen and tender just like they do when you are starting your period but sometimes you can notice the veins in your breasts have become very prominent.
  
• Tiredness - This can be one of the earliest signs of pregnancy - feeling very tired, especially in the afternoon and you can even find yourself nodding off while sitting in a chair which is something that never usually happens to you!
• Missed periods - This is an indicator of pregnancy.
  
• Morning Sickness - Can strike at anytime of the day, some mothers are unfortunate to have all day morning sickness which can be so debilitating that you can often start each day not knowing how you are going to get through it.
  It can last from 2 weeks and last up until 14 weeks.
  
• Frequent Urination - This can happen within 6 weeks of pregnancy.
  A sudden urge to go to the toilet frequently and when you have to go, you have to go, the feeling is very urgent.
  
• Headaches - Headaches are not unusual in the first trimester of your pregnancy especially if you are susceptible to them - pregnancy can make them worse.
  The reason for headaches is not known but experts believe it is probably due to the hormonal changes your body is going through.
  Giving up caffeine can sometimes be a reason but sometimes this is something that cannot be helped as while you are pregnant tastes can change and things you loved eating a drinking once will repulse you during your pregnancy.
  

Every women is different and she will experience different symptoms, some won't feel sick at all and others can suffer considerably but usually after the first 14 - 16 weeks the symptoms get easier and you can enjoy the rest of your pregnancy and find you have lots of new found energy, especially for the nesting phase (i.
e.
the huge desire to decorate, sort out and clean the whole house!!)
