Long before the purchase, many girls feel that a new life has settled in their womb. They understand that they have already become a mother. Often suggests this intuition, guesses, change of habitual behavior and other signs.

About our upcoming pregnancy the body begins to signal almost from the moment of conception. Participants in a sociological survey told how and in what ways first symptoms pregnancy before missed period.

Early pregnancy symptoms

Every woman has the first heralds of pregnancy manifest themselves differently. For some, it is - for others - the desire to eat something salty or sour, for others there were no symptoms at all.

We are all different. Our bodies also react differently to pregnancy. But there is an average list most until the delay of menstruation.

From the gastrointestinal tract

morning sickness

The most common sign the onset of pregnancy is nausea that begins immediately after waking up and does not go away throughout the day. This is due to violation neuroendocrine regulatory function.

Many women complained of nausea, which is literally exhausting, keeping them in constant tension.

Reaction to smells

This feature is due to the same crashing(or rearrangement) of neuroendocrine function. In some girls, the smells familiar before pregnancy caused acute hostility, disgust, or even provoked nausea.

However, there was another trend, when pungent odors (for example, the smell of varnish or paint) became a favorite among pregnant women.

Change in taste preferences

“I was drawn to salty ...” This is how pregnant women usually talk about themselves. But there is a lot of truth in this. Women "in position" often want to eat something sour, salty, spicy.

This is body's natural call drown out the notorious nausea and toxicosis.

By the way, pregnant women often have a desire to eat something unusual: a raw onion, chalk, or something that has not been eaten before.

Alina, Krasnodar

I started to feel nauseous right away. Literally the next day after intercourse. In the morning, then, I get up, and then the nausea is strong. I immediately knew that I was pregnant. So I was sick until about 9 weeks.

Increased salivation

Increased salivation seen on early dates pregnancy. This process is associated with a strong irritation of the salivary center. This is also one of the processes of adaptation of the mother's body to a double load during pregnancy.

Also, the process of salivation is often accompanied by a significant decrease in body weight. A pregnant woman can lose a lot of weight: up to 3 kg per week.

Vomit

Severe nausea, which was described above, can cause vomiting in early pregnancy. This is the so-called toxicosis.

This process is completely natural. So the body gets rid of toxins and rejects "unnecessary" substances. It's like a defensive reaction that has developed in the process of evolution.

However severe toxicosis- is cause for concern. During this period, a miscarriage may occur (if the mother's body begins to reject the fetus). In this case, you need to consult with the attending gynecologist and be sure to take all measures to eliminate or alleviate this condition.

From the point of view of psychosomatics

Drowsiness

In the first weeks of pregnancy, women really want to. This condition is especially acute for employees of offices where it is necessary to comply with the work schedule. There is an irresistible feeling of fatigue, "brokenness", loss of strength, apathy, and sometimes depression.

Also, many women noticed that sleep becomes restless. I want to sleep in the early evening, and awakening occurs early in the morning. After that, it is almost impossible to fall asleep. Despite the fact that the duration of sleep was sufficient for proper rest, pregnant women feel sleepy.

Svetlana, Mariupol

My husband likes to have a cup of coffee in the morning. I noticed that it was this smell that really irritated me. And there was also such fatigue, drowsiness and malaise, as with acute respiratory infections.

Loss of energy and malaise

These signs are a consequence of restless sleep described above. Also in medicine there is a special term that characterizes such conditions - chronic fatigue syndrome.

Malaise very early weeks of pregnancy looks like a mild cold. Indeed, during this period, immunity is reduced so that the rejection of the fetus does not occur, and the mother's body is exposed to viruses more than ever.

Mood swings - apathy

These conditions are also characteristic of sleepy women. On the one hand, life goes on and seethes with emotions and new events. And on the other hand, the feeling of fatigue is catching up with melancholy. These two states change abruptly.

In this period it's important to protect yourself from unnecessary stress, eat well and organize time for rest. It is desirable to rest not only passively, but also actively. This will be the best cure for the blues. Sign up for yoga, prenatal fitness, go to the pool and walk more.

Mild memory impairment - forgetfulness

The so-called "girl's memory" begins to manifest itself just in the first 2-3 weeks of pregnancy. Women noticed that it was during this period that they most often forgot to do something, became distracted.

Doctors explain this state by a decrease in the level of hormones that are responsible for the work of mental processes. But the higher the gestational age, the higher the level of hormones, and the better the memory becomes.

Nina, Bishkek

I had severe fatigue. I got tired very quickly and wanted to sleep. The head was spinning. And there was also a strong appetite. I wanted to eat just before bed.

Scattered attention - lack of concentration

This is also a sign of an increase in progesterone levels, which suppresses psychosomatic processes. But after a few weeks, the level of estrogen rises, which stimulates the psyche and memory.

Headache and migraine

Women are more prone to headaches than men. And pregnant women suffer even more. This is due to chronic fatigue syndrome, toxicosis, hormonal changes in the body.

If the migraine is very severe and does not go away for several days, be sure to consult a doctor for treatment. Do not take analgesics and antispasmodics on your own. This may harm the unborn child.

From the genitourinary system

Increase in basal body temperature

Girls who constantly monitor and build personal graphs of changes noticed that during the period of conception they experienced temperature jumps with a very high amplitude. In gynecology, this phenomenon is called implantation retraction.

First, there is a sharp drop in temperature. In the second phase of the cycle, the level of progesterone, which is responsible for temperature regulation, decreases. And during pregnancy, its level rises sharply. As a result, the temperature rises.

Also during pregnancy, estrogen is produced in large quantities, which, on the contrary, lowers the temperature. The combination of these two factors leads to fluctuations in basal temperature.

By the way, a basal temperature above 37 degrees, which is stable for several days, is a sign of pregnancy. This figure will stay on the thermometer until the placenta is formed and begins to function.

Vika, Kharkov

I didn't take a pregnancy test at all. One day I just got really sick. My cycle is accurate, so when my period didn't come, I wasn't surprised. I already knew that soon I would become a mother.

The nausea was very strong, toxicosis did not let go of me for a long time. In the first 2-3 months of pregnancy, I lost a lot of weight. Still would! Everything I ate came right back out. Therefore, when the tummy began to appear, I looked like I was just eating tightly.

Vaginal discharge

The process of fertilization and attachment of the egg to the wall of the uterus is accompanied by a slight bleeding. It is also called implantation. This is brown discharge by type of daub or in the form of a few drops (as before menstruation).

This is the earliest sign of a developing pregnancy. Approximately 1-2 weeks after conception, the embryo implants against the uterine wall, which causes a slight bleeding.

However, not everyone had brown discharge. Some women talked about having more yellows or pinks. In this case, it is necessary to consult a gynecologist to rule out abortion (with pink discharge) or cervical erosion (with yellow discharge).

Thrush

Many pregnant women complained of thrush, which usually develops in the first trimester. This is due to the fact that the mother's immunity is reduced (for the safe implantation of the embryo), and the body is not able to resist viruses and fungi.

Heaviness in the lower abdomen

And fullness in the lower abdomen occurs due to the redistribution of blood flow. To provide the fetus with nutrients, blood flow to the pelvic organs increases.

That is why pregnant women literally feel their uterus, there is a feeling of "fullness" and heaviness. Intuitively, this is recognized as the birth of a new life.

Maria, St. Petersburg

Among the “mandatory” signs of pregnancy, I had nausea, dizziness, often ran to the toilet ... But the surest sign is the darkening of the areolas. In the first pregnancy, nausea began three days before the delay. But the second time everything was fine.

Frequent urination

This is also a consequence of increased blood flow to the pelvic organs. The amount of urination varies from woman to woman. On average, this is 1 time per hour. Some pregnant women said that trips to the toilet continued even at night.

However, this condition is temporary, it disappears immediately after the normalization of the hormonal background. Sometimes the urge is similar to the symptoms of cystitis.

Decreased libido

Sexual desire decreases during the period of hormonal changes. Then resumes again after the first trimester.

Other signs

Breast enlargement

Swelling, hypersensitivity - a sign of pregnancy, which is impossible not to notice. The chest may not hurt much, but it may even respond to the slightest touch.

Such pain is also observed when taking hormonal contraceptives.

Also areola(skin around nipples) enlarges and darkens. The nipples themselves are also enlarged.

Enlargement of hemorrhoids

As mentioned above, during pregnancy blood rushes to the pelvic organs to support the vital functions of the embryo. But this process also has a negative consequence - the development of hemorrhoids. Often this unpleasant disease develops in women who have already given birth, as well as in those who lead a sedentary lifestyle.

Lower back pain

Small "lumbago" and aching pain in the lower back and in the sacrum - too sure sign onset pregnancy. Many women compare this pain to that of menstruation.

Lowering blood pressure

Level blood pressure(BP) drops to about 90/60 mm. rt. Art. There have been cases of lower blood pressure if a woman had low blood pressure before pregnancy.

It is this symptom that affects weakness, fatigue, headaches, apathy.

Edema

Minor swelling of the hands and feet- not a cause for concern. In the first weeks of pregnancy, progesterone levels increase greatly. This hormone affects the retention of salts and fluids in the body, which causes swelling of the limbs.

Increased body temperature

Changes in body temperature against the background of others characteristic features also talk about pregnancy.

It is noticed that pregnant women feel comfortable at low temperatures environment, for example, at +10 degrees. But they can freeze at +22 and above.

Temperature increase due to increased blood circulation and lowering blood pressure in the first trimester of pregnancy. Also, pregnant women notice that during this period their face often turns red in the evening.

Elena, Yaroslavl

I didn't have any obvious symptoms. Unless my hands and feet are hot, and I’m usually a “finch” and for me it was an indicator when it’s cold outside, and my hands are warm and warm, I measured the temperature of 37.2-37.3 and there was also a feeling of nausea when I leaned over to put on shoes . And then, if there are several days of delay, then I already did the test.

Pregnancy brings many changes to a woman's body, starting from the first days. Therefore, for many, positive is only a confirmation that they have already begun to feel these changes, that their body has already let them know about the beginning of a new life, and the delay is only an expected logical consequence.

First signs of pregnancy before delay

Malaise.Very many women at the very beginning of pregnancy may feel unwell, which they take for a cold. This is due to an increase in body temperature in the first trimester of pregnancy. The woman gets tired quickly, so there may be a feeling of soreness. Although at this time a woman can really get a little sick due to the ongoing decrease in immunity. The main thing in such cases is not to treat yourself with antibiotics, which are contraindicated during pregnancy. It is best to turn to folk remedies.
Increased sensitivity of the chest. This symptom most often appears one to two weeks after conception. A woman's breast reacts literally to every touch, swells, hurts, sometimes to such an extent that it is impossible to touch it. There are also reverse situations when women do not feel their breasts during pregnancy and are surprised that it does not hurt before the expected arrival of menstruation, as is usually the case. In any case, the cause may not be only pregnancy.

Darkening of the skin around the nipples. Darkening of the areolas of the nipples can also indicate pregnancy.
Minor spotting. This can range from slight bleeding to brown bloody droplets or a “yellowish mark” on toilet paper. Such discharge often leads a woman to think about the onset of menstruation. These secretions are associated with the planting of the embryo on the uterine wall, which occurs 6-12 days after conception. The so-called is one of the earliest signs of pregnancy. Small discharges may reappear at a time when the fetal egg is more actively implanted in the uterine wall. Most often, these secretions have a creamy texture with a pinkish or yellowish tint. These discharges can also be provoked. Erosion usually increases with the onset of pregnancy due to increased blood circulation in the cervix. Therefore, it can bleed at the slightest contact.
Implantation retraction, increase in basal temperature. Implantation sinking is a sharp change in basal temperature for one day in the second phase. Sagging most often occurs for two reasons: firstly, the production of progesterone, which is responsible for raising the temperature, and secondly, with the onset of pregnancy, estrogen is released, which in turn is responsible for lowering the temperature. The combination of these two hormonal shifts leads to implantation retraction.
Another sign of pregnancy is above 37 degrees, which most often lasts during the first weeks of pregnancy, until the placenta begins to function.
Rapid fatigue, constant drowsiness. Apathy or a constant feeling of tiredness is another sign of pregnancy. This is due to the greater production of progesterone and the body's transition to pregnancy mode. Progesterone depresses the psyche, the woman becomes depressed, drowsy and irritable. But with an increase in the duration of pregnancy, in addition to progesterone, the body actively releases estrogens, which have a stimulating effect on the psyche, and both depression and drowsiness disappear.
Restless sleep. Many women who are not yet aware of their pregnancy note that sleep becomes more restless. They often go to bed earlier or simply pass out. They wake up early and cannot go back to sleep. Even after a full sleep, there is often a feeling of “brokenness” and lack of sleep.
It's hot, it's cold. In the first trimester of pregnancy, women experience an increase in body temperature and a decrease in blood pressure. This leads to the fact that they often feel hot in one T-shirt when it is +15 outside or they cannot warm up even putting on all the warm clothes that were in the closet.
Aversion to smells, nausea. The classic sign of pregnancy, which occurs in half of pregnant women, occurs during 2-8 weeks of pregnancy. Nausea and vomiting are associated with a disorder of neuroendocrine regulation of body functions, the main role in which is a violation of the functional state of the central nervous system.
Along with vomiting in early pregnancy occurs irritation of the salivary center. Pregnant women experience frequent salivation, which can subsequently lead to significant weight loss (up to 2-3 kg), which is highly undesirable for a pregnant woman. If the abundant saliva is swallowed and enters the stomach, then this leads to a change in the acidity of the gastric juice and to a violation of the digestive function.
Headaches, migraines. A sharp increase in hormone levels at the beginning of pregnancy can lead to frequent headaches. But by the end of the first trimester, with the stabilization of the hormonal balance, the pain subsides.
Slight swelling of the hands and feet. Progesterone contributes to the retention of salts and fluids in the body, this can be manifested by swelling of the hands. Clenching your fingers into a fist, you can see that they have increased in volume. During pregnancy, there is an increase in blood flow to the pelvic area and a constant increase in the uterus. Therefore, some pregnant women “feel” their uterus from the first days of implantation.
Pain in the lower back, feeling that the stomach is twisting, as at the beginning of menstruation. Slight pain in the sacrum area may also indicate the beginning of pregnancy. Such a slight pain may appear in the future throughout the pregnancy.
Bloating, indigestion. A fairly common sign of pregnancy is an increase in the circumference of the abdomen at an early stage, when the uterus is still slightly enlarged, this is due to bloating. During pregnancy, the rate of passage of intestinal contents decreases, which causes bloating and can cause constipation. Hormonal restructuring of the body leads to an increase in the blood supply to the vessels of the abdominal cavity, and this can cause swelling of the intestinal walls.
Frequent urge to urinate. An increase in the level of hormones in a woman at the beginning of pregnancy contributes to a significant rush of blood to the pelvic organs. Bladder, kidneys, ureters change their functioning. A woman begins to want to go to the toilet more often both during the day and at night. As a rule, urges are not accompanied by painful sensations, as with. However, sometimes weakened immunity leads to the occurrence of thrush.
Increased vaginal discharge, thrush. An increase in vaginal secretion is also associated with blood supply to the pelvic organs. During pregnancy, the level of hydrogen in the vaginal secretion increases. This is a kind of mechanism to protect the vagina of the expectant mother from the ingress of harmful microorganisms. But in such an environment, yeast develops very well, which can lead to the appearance of thrush, which must be cured so as not to infect the child. Read on our website
Decrease in pressure, fainting, darkening in the eyes. Lowering blood pressure is a universal phenomenon for pregnant women, which can result in dizziness, weakness, headache, fainting. The condition may worsen if a woman stands for a long time, if she is in a stuffy room, after taking a hot bath, on an empty stomach.
Increase in appetite. It is one of the clearest signs of pregnancy, appears on early stages. Women develop cravings for certain foods, for example, cravings for strawberries, grapes, or certain flavor-specific foods may increase. But at the same time, there may be an aversion to certain dishes, even to favorite ones.
And the main symptom delay in menstruation. Delayed menstruation is the most famous and most obvious sign of pregnancy. The delay can sometimes happen for other reasons, most often they are certain stressful conditions of the body. See. But if you have an active sex life and are having a delay and may be showing some of the above signs of pregnancy, you should take a pregnancy test to confirm all doubts.

As a rule, many already pregnant girls say that they felt almost the same as during PMS time(premenstrual state) - a reaction to odors, pulling pains in the lower abdomen, irritability, chest pains. Then all these signs abruptly passed, and menstruation did not occur.

The very first weeks are a truly memorable and very exciting period in the life of every woman. However, in most cases, it is during this period that she is in the dark, trying to detect the very first signs of pregnancy in herself.

A clear sign of pregnancy is the absence of menses and the appearance of two clear lines on the test.

But the woman is still trying to determine the conception earlier, to find out what sensations at the beginning of pregnancy are her evidence. After all, the body of a woman “signals” about conception much earlier than it can be accurately determined. That is why women who believe that they have become pregnant often ask their acquaintances: “ What were the first signs of pregnancy you had?”, and also try to “listen” to their own body and notice a variety of signs: heaviness in the uterus, tingling in the nipple, hunger and other harbingers. But still, it should be remembered that secondary signs are not a 100% guarantee of pregnancy.

In addition, such symptoms of pregnant women are not always worried and not all. But these manifestations occur in most expectant mothers. You can find out how to get confirmation of an “interesting” situation in a short time, after what time the first signs of pregnancy appear, see below.

Signs of pregnancy: subjective feelings

Ovulation - This is the process when an egg ready for fertilization comes out of the ovarian follicle into the abdominal cavity. Ovulation occurs around day 12-14 of the menstrual cycle. It is during this period that conception is most likely. However, there are certain reasons for delayed ovulation, they can be associated with stress, diseases of the genital area, imbalance etc. But even in this case, fertilization can occur. In some cases, it is necessary to accurately set the time of ovulation in order to increase the likelihood of conception.

Sometimes during the period of ovulation, a woman shows certain signs. In frequency, some women have lower back pain at this time, there is a tingling in the ovary, an increase in mucous secretions, bloating,. There are also minor discharges - blood during ovulation can be released only in small quantities. Some women claim that they felt pain in the lower back after ovulation, when conception occurred. But a week after ovulation is too short a time to test. Moreover, on the 4th day or 5th day, the gynecologist will not be able to determine the pregnancy.

At this time and, and the reasons nausea most likely not related to pregnancy. But on about the 7th day, sensations that are uncharacteristic for a woman are already gradually beginning to appear. It is advisable to carry out the test no earlier than 10 days after ovulation. During this period, the cervix, if conception has occurred, gradually becomes looser. More abundant discharge also appears if conception has occurred.

Those who are interested in how many days after conception pregnancy occurs should take into account that on what day pregnancy occurs after conception depends on the movement of the fertilized egg to the uterus. This period is from 7 to 10 days. Accordingly, after implantation of the egg in the uterus, changes begin in the body, when a number of symptoms new to the expectant mother appear.

After how many days other unpleasant phenomena begin, depends primarily on the characteristics female body. For example, women tracking basal temperature note unusual basal temperature charts.

Most expectant mothers are interested in what first signs of pregnancy before a delay may appear in a woman. But keep in mind that early symptoms, when there is still a week before menstruation or 4 days before menstruation, are subjective. Since after conception, even during the period when there are 2 days or more before menstruation, grandiose changes are already taking place in the body, special sensations in a woman can be noted, as evidenced by numerous reviews.

Often, the first signs of pregnancy before menstruation can actually be symptoms of a pronounced one. But the same primary signs are possible immediately after conception. If PMS is not a characteristic condition for a woman, then she perceives the initial signs as an unusual phenomenon, and when such symptoms appear, she thinks about whether it is possible to determine pregnancy in the early stages.

Early signs of pregnancy before a missed period may include:

Feeling unwell. A week before menstruation, there is a feeling that it is developing cold with no respiratory symptoms. There is a feeling of weakness, in the early stages the woman gets very tired.
Emotional destabilization. Constant changes in mood, a change of joy with tears are also subjective signs of conception before a delay. Similar signs are often noted in women prone to emotionality.
Drowsiness, poor sleep. Those who are interested in how to determine pregnancy before a delay should pay attention to the manifestation of drowsiness, a constant feeling of lack of sleep. There are clear signs of lack of sleep, even if the woman has slept for 12 or more hours. It can also overcome: the expectant mother suddenly wakes up very early and cannot fall asleep again.
Change in sex drive. Libido throughout the entire period of pregnancy can change in one direction or another. At the same time, the most early changes libido is noted as early as 2-3 weeks after conception.
Feeling of heaviness in the pelvis. This feeling occurs as a result of a more active inflow to the pelvic organs. Therefore, a woman who is interested in how to understand that pregnancy has come, perceives this phenomenon as a heaviness in the uterus. The feeling of fullness in the lower abdomen may also disturb. At the same time, the feeling of fullness in the lower abdomen does not disappear even after going to the toilet.
Tingling in the uterus. Periodically, tingling is felt in the uterus or in its area.
Pain in the lower back. Such harbingers are also likely: tingling in the back, backache in the lower back, radiating to the legs. Tingling in the uterus can be noted already in the first weeks of pregnancy, before the delay, and feel like a slight tingling before menstruation or after ovulation. The causes of tingling in the uterus are associated with hormonal changes, attachment of the embryo. You need to understand: if it tingles in the uterus, then this is a physiological phenomenon. As the fetus develops, lower back pain often worries, as the growing uterus presses on internal organs. Sometimes the lower back hurts after conception, on days when the delay has just begun. You may also feel heat in the lumbar region.
Migraine, headache. The first symptoms of pregnancy before the delay in menstruation are also manifested by a headache, which can disturb throughout the day and subside only at night. The headache begins to bother you already in the first weeks, so the answer to the question of whether a headache can be one of the signs is in the affirmative.
Increased sensitivity of the mammary glands. Sensitivity may increase to such an extent that even the slightest touch causes pain in the chest. Most expectant mothers have chest pain. Moreover, a woman sometimes cannot even touch her breast, since she can feel pain after the lightest touch. How the chest hurts depends on the individual, although this symptom is taken into account when early definition pregnancy to delay. In some cases, on the contrary, there is a loss of sensitivity of the mammary glands. This is typical for those who have always noted an increase in the sensitivity of the breast before menstruation.
Fever and chills. A feeling of heat, which is replaced by chills, manifests itself several times a day. In this case, an increase in body temperature may not occur. This is an internal feeling that does not depend on the influence of external factors.
Increased appetite or a strong desire to eat a certain food. Often, almost in the second week of pregnancy, women notice a significant increase in appetite (very often pregnant women write about this in every thematic forum, answering the question “ How did you feel at the beginning of your pregnancy?"). In the process of eating, they do not feel full. It also happens that you are drawn to a certain food product. It is also characteristic that pregnant women, as a rule, have a craving for that product or products that were previously absent from the menu.
Nausea. Many women are interested in whether it can start and whether it can feel sick at the earliest possible date. The beginning of such sensations in pregnant women is individual. Nausea worries more often in the morning, sometimes there is vomiting. There is a sharp rejection of certain foods, even the thought of which provokes nausea. Often develops at an early date. Pain in the intestines and stomach is also likely. How the stomach hurts, the woman herself determines with difficulty, because it is rather a pulling sensation, heaviness. Whether the stomach hurts in the first days after conception depends on individual characteristics - this does not always happen.
High sensitivity to odors. Many women who write to the forum and share their experiences, answering the question: “ How did you feel that you were pregnant?”, talk about sudden changes in the sense of smell. There is an aversion to those smells that previously seemed pleasant, for example, to the aroma of food, perfumes, etc. At the same time, some chemical smells may seem attractive. It happens that a woman feels an uncharacteristic aroma when smelling food - for example, it may seem to her that the food has the aroma of acetone. Whether such changes can be felt immediately after conception depends on individual characteristics. As a rule, increased sensitivity to smells is observed already a few days after conception.
Feeling uncomfortable while sitting. Already in the first days after conception, the expectant mother finds it difficult to find a comfortable position in a sitting position.
Allergy. Allergy as a symptom manifests itself in the early stages. As a rule, this is an allergic reaction, which was not previously noted in a woman.

Early diagnosis of pregnancy allows you to find out if conception has occurred, even if there are no signs described above. But the definition of such subjective feelings in oneself helps those women who ask if it is possible to find out about pregnancy before the delay. Although the most accurate data on pregnancy can only be given later - hypersensitive test . But even the most sensitive specimens can end up being interpreted as a weakly positive test if a pregnancy test is taken too early. The earliest term for determining conception is 20-21 days from the date of the last menstruation. That is why most women are trying to figure out how to find out if there is a positive result, how to find out if conception has occurred.

If a woman kept a BT schedule, is it possible to understand that she is pregnant, it will help basal body temperature, which during pregnancy does not decrease as it happens before menstruation.

There are a number of other signs that a woman is interested in, in order to find out that she is pregnant, “searches out” in herself already in the first days after probable conception. Reading articles that there are 33 signs of pregnancy or a different number of them, she notes as such allocation , thrush , acne . But all these manifestations may also indicate the development of the disease, and not about pregnancy. For example, discharge during the conception of a child can be the same as with thrush. What kind of discharge appears after conception, as well as what are the most accurate signs of pregnancy, can be told by a doctor who should be asked how to identify the exact signs, and how to understand that you are pregnant.

External changes during the first days of pregnancy

Even before the delay, the first signs of pregnancy after conception appear almost every day with external changes. Despite the fact that only a few women claim that they had certain strange sensations after ovulation, if conception occurred, external changes occur in almost everyone.

Talking about what sensations they experienced during the conception of a child and after that, many women note that they developed thrush , and after thrush - cystitis . As a result, the question arose whether due to thrush there could be a number of signs similar to those of pregnancy.

And if, before the delay of menstruation, the woman herself can rather feel certain internal sensations after conception, then those around her notice external changes.

Even before nausea appears after conception, such external signs of pregnancy may be noted:

Laboratory and physiological changes in the first days of pregnancy

Trying to determine what signs of pregnancy in the early days indicate conception, a woman pays attention to the physiological state. How to determine pregnancy, while the test does not yet show it, some physiological manifestations, as well as laboratory indicators, will “prompt”. Trying to understand everything about pregnancy from the first days of conception, expectant mothers, concerned about certain manifestations, turn to doctors.

Almost in the very first days of pregnancy, the following signs may indicate:

Early pregnancy factor. A special substance is found in the blood or in the mucus of the cervix of pregnant women - it is determined 28-48 hours after conception has occurred. Studies show that this factor can be detected in 67% of cases after pregnancy. Its growth is noted during the first months. But at present, this diagnostic method is used very rarely.
Increasing hCG hormone. The onset of pregnancy allows you to determine . HCG is determined by tests or analyzes, and its level indicates that conception has occurred and that the gestation of the fetus is proceeding normally. The growth of this indicator also occurs before the delay of menstruation, when a very short period is noted.
Vaginal discharge with blood. Sometimes women are worried about what to do if pinkish or yellow discharge of a smearing nature appears from the genitals. As a rule, such discharge and discomfort in the uterus appear 7-12 days after the conception has occurred, and indicate that the embryo is fixed in the uterus. Also, the uterus can bleed if the woman once had erosion. Due to the increased blood flow, an increase in bleeding occurs.
Exacerbation of hemorrhoids. Since, after conception, blood flow in the pelvic organs increases, and constipation also worries, hemorrhoids can worsen in the first weeks after conception.
The basal body temperature rises. After conception, the basal temperature always rises. In the first weeks after conception, until the placenta began to function, the basal temperature rises to above 37 C. If during the period of menstruation the basal temperature is more than 37 degrees, then this indicates either pregnancy or a delay due to late ovulation. Also, after conception, body temperature may rise. It should be noted that basal temperature is not the temperature of the vagina, but measured in the rectum.
Elevated temperature. Sometimes there is a constant temperature of 37 as a sign of pregnancy. Whether the temperature can be lowered depends on the physiology of the body.
Leg (calf) cramps. Cramps and pain in the legs disturb at night, disturbing sleep.
pressure drop. The most pronounced pressure decreases in people who have previously had hypotension. Often in such women, the pressure drops to 90/60 mm Hg. As a result, weakness , sometimes - fainting . Even if the period is very short, such manifestations occur as a result of being in a stuffy room, transport, a long standing position. Low pressure is also noted in those who previously had these indicators in the norm. Whether it is possible to feel such signs in the first days depends on the individual characteristics of the body.
Decreased immunity. Primary symptoms can manifest themselves in the form of a cold - as a result of a decrease in immunity. In particular, it is possible runny nose , complaints that the throat hurts. The pregnant woman believes that she is developing a common cold. Reviews of pregnant women indicate that a cold as an initial symptom manifests itself quite often.
Strong salivation. What a woman feels in the first days after conception is individual. But increased salivation is usually accompanied by nausea. The active separation of saliva worsens the feeling of toxicosis. The condition of a woman also depends on what sensations in the stomach appear in the first days after conception. Sometimes nausea, bloating, or abdominal discomfort is also accompanied by excessive salivation.
Vaginal discharge. The discharge before the delay becomes more abundant, as there is an increased production of vaginal secretions. Whether white discharge can be after ovulation depends on the physiology of the woman. But white discharge as a sign of fertilization is a fairly common phenomenon.
Thrush. Since the secret of the vagina is rich in hydrogen ions, it actively reproduces candida mushrooms . If itching, curdled discharge is noted, then thrush develops, which must be treated. Thrush as a sign of pregnancy is a fairly common occurrence. But if thrush develops, whether it can be evidence of conception, it is impossible to immediately know. Regardless of whether thrush is a sign of pregnancy, it must be treated.
Increased frequency of urination. Since there is a hormonal restructuring of the body, there is a rush of blood to the pelvic organs and the active functioning of the kidneys, urination becomes more frequent both day and night. Frequent urination is noted during the entire period of gestation. Also, women during this period may be disturbed by cystitis. Whether the stomach can hurt, whether discomfort is felt, depends on the individual characteristics of the body. Regardless of what the girl feels, it is better to consult a doctor with signs of cystitis.
Delay of menstruation. Despite other harbingers, it is the delay that is the most obvious sign of pregnancy. Nevertheless, a development of events is also possible, which can be characterized: "Delayed menstruation, but not pregnancy." Depending on how many days the delay has already lasted, measures can be taken to confirm or deny conception. Sometimes after conception, a delay in menstruation and a temperature of 37 are combined.

Even if there is a delay of 1 day, a woman may already suspect that she is pregnant, guided by other signs. For example, she has white discharge, unusual sensations. But with a delay of one day, the test may not show conception.

If there is a delay of 2 days, and white discharge appears, as well as other signs, conception can be suspected. But two days of delay is a period when it is still too early to consult a doctor to confirm pregnancy.

Women who have a 3-day delay in menstruation often have a test. But even if after three days of delay the test is positive, this is not a guarantee of pregnancy, as the test may turn out to be false positive.

What happens after 4 days of delay depends not only on objective factors, but also on the degree of emotionality of the woman. More emotional individuals believe that a 4-day delay in menstruation accurately indicates pregnancy, and they find in themselves a number of signs of conception.

Since the signs are more pronounced during the first pregnancy, after 5 days of delay, a woman can already be almost sure that she will have a child, as she determines the obvious symptoms of conception, regardless of what happens on day 5. If the delay is already 5 days, and white discharge continues to bother, ladies often turn to doctors to determine conception. But even on day 6, the doctor cannot say with certainty that the patient is pregnant, regardless of what happens on day 6 and what signs she shows.

If the period is delayed by 7 days, then it makes sense to take a test or consult a doctor. A delay of 1 week, which is combined with other signs (white discharge, sleep and appetite disturbances, a cold as a sign of pregnancy, etc.), is already a reason to suspect that conception has occurred. But during this period it is still impossible to determine exactly what gestational age is taking place. On the seventh day after conception, information can only be obtained by determining hCG.

Since white discharge and other signs can be pronounced on day 8, at this time many women are already taking the test. And about 12 days after conception, there may be slight bleeding, as the embryo is attached in the uterus. How to determine if this is really the so-called implantation bleeding , the doctor will tell you.

You should not put off a visit to the doctor for too long if you suspect that you are pregnant, or if the test has already shown two lines. If there is a 2-week delay in menstruation, you can visit a doctor to confirm the pregnancy, and also, already at a period of two weeks of delay, find out about how long after conception, how the pregnancy proceeds.

In case there is a delay of 3 weeks, it is important to obtain confirmation that uterine pregnancy . After all, with the same signs are noted as with its normal course. But this condition is very dangerous for a woman's health.

During this period, the doctor can already approximately determine how long after conception takes place. However, three weeks of delay is not yet the time when you can get a lot of accurate information about the development of the fetus.

Often women ask a gynecologist about how to feel that conception has occurred. But in fact, an early visit to the gynecologist is important in terms of excluding diseases of the genital area, as well as determining the general health of the expectant mother. After all, all diseases of the mother can subsequently negatively affect the health of the unborn child.

Thus, it is best to visit a doctor in the first month of pregnancy after periods have stopped and the first symptoms after conception appear. After all, 1 month is in many ways the most dangerous period, while the woman is not yet completely sure which symptoms of pregnancy in the first days of the delay should be considered accurate.

Having visited a gynecologist in the first weeks of pregnancy, you need to tell him in detail about what pregnancy symptoms were noted in the first weeks, what sensations bothered you in the first weeks. It is important to report exactly when your last period was. Also, the doctor can examine the chest, ask about what sensations you are currently experiencing, whether certain symptoms bother you (cold, unusual discharge, chills at the beginning of the delay, etc.).

In the first two weeks, the doctor will not only conduct an examination, but will ask you in detail about what sensations you experienced during weeks 1 and 2.

You should go to the first appointment with a gynecologist before the time when the first signs may appear toxicosis . That is, it is best to plan the first visit to the doctor for 2 months, when the discomfort is not yet so strong. The fifth week is a suitable period for such a visit. The doctor may ask a number of questions about how the woman feels. It should be borne in mind that at week 5, the basal temperature remains stably elevated, and if a woman measures it, you can tell the doctor about it.

Less often, women postpone a visit to the gynecologist for 3 months, when the exact symptoms are already pronounced, there come times when the tummy gradually increases. Nevertheless, it is impossible to postpone a visit to the doctor for 3, and, moreover, for 4 months.

The gynecologist always conducts an examination. It is important for him to assess the condition of the uterus, because the uterus before menstruation is hard to the touch and dry. The position of the cervix before menstruation is always low. The indicators of how much the uterus increases before menstruation and how much it becomes larger during pregnancy differ significantly. That is why, according to the state of the uterus, a specialist can judge the onset of pregnancy.

The doctor evaluates how the uterus looks, and, depending on how many days after the delay the woman came to the appointment, she can determine the conception or ask the patient to come later if signs of pregnancy and an increase are not yet noticeable. In how many days you need to visit the doctor again, he will definitely inform.

It is important to know for sure that the pregnancy is developing normally. After a woman is registered, she visits a gynecologist every month.

First week of pregnancy: signs and sensations

Since 1 week is still, in fact, not a pregnancy, at this time a woman, as a rule, does not yet determine those syndromes and symptoms that are evidence of a successful conception. In rare cases, some expectant mothers say that already on the first day of conception, long before the test was carried out, they felt certain strange sensations. But still, the sensations during fertilization, on the first day after it, when a woman determines something unusual in the body, is rather. exception. Also, in rare cases, on the 2nd day or 3rd day, the corresponding symptoms appear. That is why it is difficult for a woman in the first days (on day 4, on day 5) to understand what is happening.

Many women are unaware of what are the earliest signs of pregnancy in the first week. But already during this period, the first symptoms of pregnancy begin in the first week: the stomach pulls, discharge appears, etc.

Whether there are certain symptoms at 1 week after conception, and when more pronounced signs occur, depends on the woman's body. If the delay is 6 days, it is still difficult for the doctor to determine how long. Thus, the first week against the background of a developing pregnancy, signs rarely appear, and a woman, as a rule, does not know about her condition.

Symptoms in the second week after conception and later

The 2nd week of pregnancy is a period when new sensations can manifest themselves more clearly. Often for a period of 10 days or 12 days, that is, at 2 weeks, women are already conducting a test, relying on the fact that they have new sensations. The second week of delay is the period that may already be accompanied by nausea, appetite disturbances, and drowsiness. However, only the doctor, and not the expectant mother, can determine how long for 12 days of delay based on her feelings.

At 2 and 3 weeks after conception, many pregnant women lose weight, as they show a certain pickiness in food and other unpleasant sensations. The second and third weeks - the period when pregnancy after conception is manifested by changes in the mammary glands - the beginning of pregnancy is marked by the fact that the breast becomes very sensitive. Later, when the fourth week comes, the breasts will become heavier, also the 4th week is the period when you can feel the first signs toxicosis .

What other signs are there, and on what day they appear, can be found in the relevant literature. And about how the fetus develops, it is worth watching a video that will help a woman realize how all the processes occur after conception.

It should be noted that the early signs of a second pregnancy may be atypical and manifest differently than the first time. In the early stages, their absence is possible - everything happens without signs of pregnancy. It should be noted that the so-called hidden pregnancy is asymptomatic, so a woman may not suspect for a long time that she is expecting a baby.

Signs of pregnancy after a delay

If there is a delay in menstruation, the woman is actively interested in what first signs of pregnancy in the early stages may occur, and in what week these signs appear. During this period, expectant mothers often turn to a thematic forum that discusses various features of the first weeks - are there signs or no signs, what are the earliest symptoms that develop, etc., how do a number of signs manifest themselves in multiple pregnancies, etc. .

Most often, women note that already in the first days they either have an increased appetite, or no appetite at all. Other signs are also noted - a low temperature and shivering, strange sensations in the abdomen and the navel itches, a constant change of mood. Some women describe only the main symptoms, some find 25 signs in themselves.

But even if a woman notes a number of signs that may indicate conception - lack of appetite, a slight cold, tearfulness, chills without fever, etc., you do not need to run to the doctor on the second day after the delay.

But later, during a visit to the doctor, it is important to tell him about what symptoms are taking place. After all, the first weeks of pregnancy, and the first, and second, and subsequent, are a period when the risk of interruption is very high. It is important to inform the doctor that there are tingling in the uterus, pain, as before menstruation, other discomfort in the uterus, tingling in the ovaries, etc.

In addition, the doctor can also be asked important questions for a woman: can there be a temperature in the period after conception, can menstruation occur during early pregnancy, the signs of which are already taking place, how many days after conception it starts to feel sick, etc.

However, there are initial symptoms after a missed period, which can be considered accurate signs of a conception that has occurred. The most accurate signs are as follows:

positive test, which was done at least three times, and, between the time the earliest test was carried out and the last one, several days should elapse. After how many days pregnancy appears on the test, depends on its type. But it is better to do it at least a week after the delay begins.
Gynecological examination on chair. Doctors clearly know how long the exact signs of pregnancy appear. When the gestational age is 6 weeks, the cervix becomes soft, its hue is cyanotic, as the blood flow is activated in it, and during this period a woman may complain that she has pricks in the uterus. There is also a softening of the isthmus between the uterus and the body, an increase in the size of the uterus.
Increased hCG level in urine and blood. Even if there are no external signs, this indicator not only indicates conception, but is also perceived by a specialist as an indicator of the course of pregnancy. In the first month, hCG doubles every two days, later - every 4 days.
The results of the ultrasound of the uterus. After spending ultrasound procedure, for a period of 5 weeks, an implanted fetal egg can be detected.

Women who have experienced a delay and who are actively interested in what day the symptoms appear, what the signs are, and when more pronounced manifestations begin, should be aware that for a period of 4-6 weeks there is a high probability of spontaneous . Therefore, it is important to "listen" to the body and be careful.

Signs of conception of a boy and a girl

Most future parents would very much like to know from the very first days whether the birth of a girl or a boy awaits them. That is why future mothers are looking for a variety of signs that could indicate the birth of a baby of a certain gender. For example, the difference in the abdomen during pregnancy with a boy or a girl is discussed, the condition of the skin - whether acne appears or not, etc.

But after the test showed two stripes, all the signs that indicate the conception of a boy or girl cannot be considered accurate, and parents should remember this. But still, many mothers talk about the fact that they had certain symptoms indicating the birth of a baby of a certain gender, and ask their friends: “Do girls have a certain sign, do boys have it? Menstruation stops, and certain signs gradually appear that indicate the birth of a boy or girl.

Signs of conception as a boy

You can notice the proven signs of pregnancy as a boy in the first weeks after conception. If a woman is pregnant with a boy, these features can be determined by carefully listening and looking closely at her body. But what symptoms “for a boy” a woman would not find in herself, one must remember that they do not guarantee the birth of a male baby 100%. What are the signs of mothers bearing boys?

External signs	Appearance improves - the skin becomes matte and clean, the condition of nails and hair improves.
Leg temperature	The legs may be cold, while the inside feels hot in the legs and arms. A pregnant woman may be worried about why she throws herself into a fever, but there is no temperature.
Appetite	We are expecting a boy - we eat a lot: from the first days, the appetite increases. At the same time, a woman prefers all possible meat dishes. The "boys" also have other taste preferences.
Nausea	Pregnancy passes without nausea or only slight nausea is noted.
Mood Features	There are no mood fluctuations, activity and efficiency increase, there is no feeling of depression, weakness.
Stomach	Its lower part is rounded in the form of a bulge, after what time such signs appear depends on individual characteristics, but, as a rule, this feature is noticeable on later dates.

Signs of conception by a girl

The proven features of pregnancy “for a girl” are described by almost every thematic forum. But what signs of pregnancy with a girl are accurate is also an ambiguous question. Some women notice what signs a girl shows during pregnancy in the first weeks. But sometimes the signs during pregnancy are almost the same for both a boy and a girl. Therefore, it must be taken into account that it is not always what kind of belly a pregnant girl has that is information that will help determine who will be born.

What are the symptoms if the expectant mother is pregnant with a girl?

Appearance	Already in the third week after conception, the appearance changes for the worse. The lips may swell, the skin swells, the face turns pale.
Leg temperature	May feel chills in the legs, but the temperature of the skin of the legs and hands will be elevated.
Appetite	Appetite is reduced or absent from the first weeks. There is a desire to eat sweets, citrus fruits.
Nausea	From which day it starts to feel sick, it can also be a sign of the sex of the fetus. If this is a girl, nausea appears a few weeks after conception, and most of all nausea in the morning.
Mood Features	Characters abrupt mood swings. Strange thoughts are disturbing, a woman commits chaotic actions.
Stomach	It does not increase for a long time, sometimes it even sinks, which is associated with manifestations of nausea and lack of appetite.

Signs of multiple pregnancy

Sometimes, during ovulation and conception, several fetuses begin to develop in the body at once. There are some characteristic symptoms conception if two or more fetuses develop. It is hardly possible to feel any signs of this phenomenon immediately after conception, but after a few weeks, if conception has occurred, such symptoms appear.

If symptoms of pregnancy after conception indicate a multiple pregnancy, a woman should tell her doctor about this at her first visit. The following signs are likely:

Appearance	It worsens, as a very serious hormonal restructuring occurs in the body, and nausea is also constantly worried. An acne rash appears on the face.
Frequent urination	Describing what signs of multiple pregnancy may be, frequent urination should be noted, since the uterus is already enlarged in the third week.
Appetite	As a rule, you want to eat in this state all the time, although nausea worries. The weight is gaining quickly.
Nausea	It is important to note how many days after conception it begins to vomit. With a multiple pregnancy, you feel sick strongly and very painfully almost from the first week, this condition worries you throughout the day.
Mood Features	Due to constant drowsiness and weakness, the mood is often depressed, and performance deteriorates.
Stomach	Since the uterus grows rapidly, the abdomen is rounded already in the first months, rounding is uniform.

Is it possible to conceive before menstruation?

Is it possible to conceive a child the day before menstruation - the answer to this question depends on the individual physiological characteristics of the female body. After all, the menstrual cycle is often not regular, not only in girls. Those women who have irregular menstrual cycles cannot predict when ovulation occurs. Therefore, it is difficult for them to predict the date of the approaching menstruation. Therefore, conception can occur at almost any time. And if a woman is waiting for menstruation, but they are not, this may indicate that conception has occurred, despite the fact that she did not have sexual intercourse on the days of the alleged ovulation. The days of ovulation sometimes shift and hormonal imbalance .

If there is a suspicion that conception has occurred, how to find out that you are pregnant can be "suggested" by external signs. In this situation, it is important, first of all, to listen to your body.

Sometimes, after a delay of 5 days, the expectant mother feels a little sick, white discharge appears, as thrush aggravates or yellow discharge appears before menstruation. The fact that the conception of a child has occurred is also evidenced by an increased basal temperature of 37 per week or 5 days, 6 days. In addition, you should pay attention to such signs:

enlargement of the abdomen, heaviness in the abdomen;
strong appetite, but at the same time sick;
periodical heat(there may be a temperature, but sometimes it throws you into a fever, but there is no temperature);
breast changes (high sensitivity, darkened nipples);
discharge (if you are pregnant, it often worsens or thrush begins), etc.

However, not all of these symptoms appear in everyone. And if a woman is interested in when to do the test, doubting whether she will show the test a week before menstruation or 2 days before menstruation, she is better off waiting a bit with such a check.

Advising how to determine pregnancy, experts say that the test should be carried out at least 3 times. For example, 4 days after the delay, 7 days or 8 days, and 3 more days after the second positive test. If two stripes appeared three times, it can be assumed that the conception took place.

If a woman assumes that she will soon become a mother, she has a lot of questions about why she gets hot during her period, can there be nausea in the first days, why the body swells, how many days weight increases and much more. All of them can be assigned to a specialist.

Is menstruation possible after conception?

Many women also ask if menstruation is possible after fertilization has occurred, for example, is menstruation possible a week after conception.

As a rule, conception occurs after menstruation on the 12-15th day, during the period of ovulation. Those who are interested in whether menstruation can go after conception should take into account that the onset of pregnancy can entail the so-called ovulatory bleeding when a vessel is damaged during ovulation. When the embryo is fixed in the uterus, perhaps the so-called implantation bleeding . During this period, the woman is already interested in whether nausea can be a sign of pregnancy, whether the thrush passes - that is, she gradually feels the signs of conception.

However, sometimes the sensations, as with menstruation, and spotting indicate a threat. It is especially dangerous if the bleeding is profuse, chills and other unpleasant sensations are disturbing. Premature periods during pregnancy may indicate a miscarriage.

Pregnancy during menstruation is also possible with injuries, hormonal failure. Sometimes meager periods are noted - 2 days. Whether there can be pregnancy in this case can only be determined by analysis. If menstruation is noted after a delay and in subsequent months, then the so-called color pregnancy . Noticing certain signs, a woman may think that she has a cold or other illness.

Ectopic pregnancy and monthly at the same time - also a possible phenomenon. In any case, if a woman suspects pregnancy during menstruation, she will not be helped by a thematic forum, but by a specialist consultation.

Sometimes spotting during pregnancy is accompanied by other unpleasant symptoms: a woman is shivering, her temperature rises, low pressure is noted even if low blood pressure is uncharacteristic for her. In such a situation, it is important not to delay a visit to the doctor, who needs to be told what signs during menstruation in pregnant women were observed.

However, some manifestations may be signs of a normally developing pregnancy. For example, sometimes it throws you into a fever at night, and a woman is also interested in why she is shivering, why her face swells, etc.

findings

Thus, there are many signs - external, physiological, laboratory, with the help of which one can initially suspect, and later confirm fertilization. How and when such symptoms appear, after how many days they appear after conception, depends on the individual characteristics of the organism.

With the test, you should wait a bit: on the 7th day immediately after conception, even a supersensitive test will not determine anything.

When the first signs appear, you should “listen” to the body and know what symptoms may indicate conception. When such signs begin to appear, you do not need to immediately run to the doctor. It should be clearly understood whether there is a delay, that is, wait "through menstruation."

If you suspect that conception has occurred, many questions arise. So, some women are interested in why they are shivering before menstruation, are the fever in the abdomen, back pain, colic in the uterus signs that fertilization has occurred. Some ladies are also interested in how to feel that conception has occurred.

But even if there are no periods for 37 days, before talking about pregnancy, you need to accurately confirm fertilization. And if so far the lady is not sure about conception, and questions arise whether there may be a delay in menstruation with a cold or a temperature due to a cold, and the test showed fuzzy stripes after the first time, it is important to be conscious about your own health. For now, questions should not arise whether it is possible to drink beer or other types of alcohol.

How else to call the state of bearing a baby? This is a period when a woman is responsible not only for her health and life. The health of the unborn baby must be taken care of even before conception, and in the first weeks of his intrauterine life, this should be done especially carefully.

Hypersalivation is an excess secretion of saliva. In children under the age of six months, this is considered a normal condition, since a child at this age cannot swallow on his own. If an increased secretion of saliva occurs at an older age, this may indicate disorders in the body, due to which there is an increase in the secretion of the salivary glands. In some cases, false hypersalivation is observed, when the main cause of increased salivation is a violation of the act of swallowing.

Causes

During the period of bearing a baby, increased salivation of the expectant mother is often associated with a state of toxicosis. In this case, the girl may experience bouts of vomiting, heartburn and nausea.

The body of a pregnant mother is subjected to increased stress, so its immune defense is weakened. This entails a higher susceptibility of the girl to various diseases that can cause hypersalivation, in particular:

oral problems - stomatitis, gingivitis, sialodenitis;
diseases of the gastrointestinal tract - gastritis, stomach ulcers and duodenum, pancreatitis;
diseases of the nervous system - strokes, tumors in the brain, inflammation of the facial nerve, psychosis, schizophrenia, neurosis, and so on;
worm infection;
lack of vitamin PP;
intoxication resulting from close contact with toxic substances;
uremia - poisoning of the body due to problems with the functioning of the kidneys.

There is hypersalivation, which is characterized by a reflex abundant flow of saliva, caused by the response of the body of the expectant mother to certain brain impulses from different organs. This situation develops most often in diseases of the uterus and nose.

In addition, the intake of certain medications by the expectant mother can also lead to an increase in the production of saliva. These medicines include:

lithium salts (used in the treatment of a number of mental illnesses);
anticonvulsants (used to prevent seizures)
drugs for the treatment of glaucoma and others.

Prerequisites for siaolosis vary according to the form of the disease:

true hypersalivation - excessive flow of saliva due to its increased production, which is typical for inflammation of the oral cavity, toxicosis;
false hypersalivation - is not associated with the amount of saliva, but with the frequency of its swallowing. This occurs with problems of the pharynx and nervous system, disorders in the functioning of the facial muscles, lesions of the lips, swallowing can bring expectant mother discomfort or pain. As a result, swallowing of saliva occurs less frequently than usual. At the same time, it accumulates in the mouth in large quantities, which creates a feeling of excessive salivation.

Symptoms

The clinical manifestations of ptyalism are the same, regardless of the causes that caused it. A girl in position notices the following symptoms:

unnaturally frequent swallowing of saliva;
increased secretion of the salivary glands, as a result of which saliva begins to leak from the corners of the mouth;
the skin around the lips and on the chin becomes irritated due to constant contact with saliva;
in the area around the mouth, a pustular rash appears from small vesicles with liquid contents.

Diagnosis of hypersalivation during pregnancy

When visiting a specialist, the expectant mother describes her complaints (how long it has been noted, what exactly worries, what characteristic symptoms are present), and the doctor draws up a picture of the disease, analyzes the data obtained and forms an anamnesis of the patient's illness and life. Lifestyle history involves collecting information about chronic and hereditary health problems, the presence of tumor formations, addictions, ascertaining the fact of taking any medicines and contact with toxic substances.

A mandatory procedure is the examination of a pregnant girl. The doctor assesses the condition of the mother's oral cavity, reveals the presence of damage to the mucous membrane of the mouth and gums, as well as the skin in the chin and mouth.

To confirm the true nature of hypersalivation, a measurement of the amount of saliva secreted in 20 minutes is required. Normally, this figure is 1-4 ml, and with salivation it is 10 ml or more.

Complications

Ptyalism in expectant mothers is not a life-threatening condition for the baby. Most often, this condition does not cause consequences. However, with inadequate therapy or its absence, complications may develop:

lesions on the skin of the face;
dehydration of the body;
joining the infection;
loss of appetite;
weight loss;
psychological disorders, sleep problems.

Treatment

What can you do

The expectant mother should establish a harmonious daily routine, including proper rest during the day and at night. If signs of hypersalivation appear, it is reasonable to visit a doctor as soon as possible, since this condition may indicate the development of any disease.

What does a doctor do

If salivation is caused by any disease and is its symptom, the doctor must identify the causative disease and deal with its elimination.

With severe hypersalivation, the expectant mother may be recommended treatment in a hospital. General doctor appointments include:

building a competent daily routine with proper rest and night sleep lasting at least 8 hours;
intravenous administration of special solutions for dehydration caused by excessive salivation;
treatment of the oral cavity with herbal infusions;
applying ointments and creams to treat rashes around the mouth.

sessions of individual psychotherapy;
taking medications that affect the functioning of the nervous system;
taking drugs against worms;
vitamin therapy and so on.

The expectant mother should inform the doctor in advance about the gestational age so that the prescribed treatment is effective and safe for the baby in the womb.

Prevention

Primary measures for the prevention of hypersalivation are associated with the prevention of diseases that cause an abundant flow of saliva.

Secondary prevention, which is useful after the onset of signs of illness, includes treatment of emerging diseases and elimination of symptoms of salivation.

It is important for expectant mothers to register for pregnancy in a timely manner (up to 12 weeks) and regularly visit a gynecologist (in accordance with the gestational age). It is advisable to prepare in advance for pregnancy and cure chronic diseases before conception.
