I think I might be in my first month of pregnancy, but I'm not entirely sure what to look for. What are the common symptoms of the first month of pregnancy?
You might just feel mild bloating or fatigue. Don't rush to buy expensive fancy kits or do early blood tests, just wait for the missed period first to save on costs.
For me, it was mainly extreme tiredness and a weird metallic taste in my mouth! Everyone's body is different, so don't worry if you don't feel sick right away.
My doctor explained that during the first month, rising progesterone causes fatigue, frequent urination, and breast soreness. Many women don't even have nausea until week 6, which is completely scientifically normal.
I felt this sudden, intense sleepiness and my breasts were so sore I couldn't sleep on my stomach. It was such a beautiful, confusing mix of emotions when I realized why.
In the first month, symptoms can be very mild like light cramping, tender breasts, or feeling extra tired. Please take care of yourself, avoid heavy work, and do a home test if your period is late.
I felt very mild cramps, almost like my period was coming, and was super exhausted. Take rest from day one, your body is starting a huge recovery-demanding journey!
