Early Pregnancy Signs: Navigating the Two-Week Wait
The 'Two-Week Wait' is the time between when an egg is fertilized and when you find out if you are pregnant.
During this time, your body might give you some clues, like mild tummy cramps or feeling tired.
You might also feel dizzy, notice your skin looks dull, or that your breasts feel bigger.
A key sign is missing your period, and a pregnancy test can confirm the results.
Remember, everyone is different!
The 'Two-Week Wait' (TWW) is the period between ovulation and finding out if a woman is pregnant.
Early symptoms can include mild cramping, tiredness, dizziness, a dull face, and changes in breast size.
These cramps can be implantation cramps which last for 3-4 days.
Increased progesterone can cause tiredness and fatigue.
A missed period, nausea, and fatigue are general early signs.
