You may suspect that you're already pregnant, but it's too early to use home pregnancy tests. Your body may give you weird clues that you may actually be pregnant.
While it may be too early to detect if you're pregnant, there are some weird pregnancy symptoms that your mother or doctor may have forgotten to tell you. Of course, it is still best to check with your doctor right away. A blood test is the best method to know if you're pregnant if it's too early to use a pregnancy test. Nevertheless, check out these weird symptoms collected from Parenting and Healthline that you may watch out for when you're pregnant:
1. Strange Discharge
Don't panic; it is only natural that weird stuff will come out of you. This is one of the early pregnancy signs. Most pregnant women will secrete white or pale yellow mucus during the early months or even throughout the pregnancy. This is brought by hormonal changes and vaginal blood flow. As a result, this will make you change panties often.
2. Peeing All The Time
You will be making frequent trips to the restroom as your uterus grows in size and puts pressure on your bladder. Aside from peeing all the time, you may feel that you're about to go number two but just can't. Hormonal changes can lead to feeling bloated and constipation. More so, you'd also feel cramping in your lower abdomen and feel gassy.
3. Stuffy But Not Sick
Again, hormonal changes can cause mucus membranes to swell, dry up and even bleed. As a result, it decreases air circulation. This may result to unlikely snoring too. Try to relieve inflammation with saline drops or humidifier.
You may also be susceptible to coughs, colds, and the flu since pregnancy lowers your immunity. You may be feeling under the weather in the early months.
4. Excessive Sweating
Because your metabolism in working overtime, you seem to sweat twice as much. The extra blood pumping through your body warms the skin prompting your body to perspire to cool it off.
If your basal body temperature stays elevated after ovulation, this may mean you're pregnant. Normally, it stays slightly elevated until your next period comes. But if it stays this way for more than two weeks, go and check with your doctor.
5. Excessive Drooling
This may not be true to all but some women produce three to four quarts of excess saliva a day. It is recommended to limit starch on your diet or drink lemon water to minimize the symptoms.
Some of the symptoms may be embarrassing to discuss but they are worth all the experience. Check out more weird pregnancy symptoms in the video below:
