My mom is more comfortable reading in Tamil and I want to explain her the symptoms properly. Is there any good list in Tamil somewhere? Would really help me out, thanks yaar.
Early symptoms are called 'Karppaka arikurikal' in Tamil, which basically include missed periods, nausea, and breast tenderness. Don't worry too much about local terms, just take a home pregnancy test if your period is late. It is the most direct way to know.
In Tamil, we say 'Karppam arikurigal' for pregnancy symptoms. Common signs are tiredness, morning sickness, and missed periods. Stay positive, keep chanting your prayers, and take good care of your health, dear. God bless.
When I went to my hospital, the coordinators were so helpful in explaining everything in local languages. Pregnancy symptoms like fatigue, nausea (vaandhi), and missed period are common. If you have any language doubts, just ask the hospital staff or your doctor to explain clearly during your visit.
I can only share what I felt, but my main symptoms were extreme tiredness (sombanal) and tender breasts even before my missed period. Everyone's body is different though, so what I experienced might be different for you.
I am in my second trimester now and remember searching for 'early pregnancy symptoms' in Tamil to show my family. Did anyone else also feel extreme tiredness and food aversions as their first symptoms? It is all so new and a bit scary in the beginning.
Oh, the morning sickness (vaandhi) was the worst symptom for me! Along with a missed period, severe nausea and smell sensitivity are major signs. Keep some dry ginger or lemon handy, it really helped me survive those early weeks.
After my IVF journey, I was constantly looking up terms like 'Karppam' signs. Feeling mild cramping or fatigue can be early signs, but please be very gentle with yourself. Sending you so much love and positive energy for your test.
