  3. Breast Changes: Tenderness, swelling, or darkening of the areolas can occur.
  4. Fatigue: Increased fatigue is common in the early stages of pregnancy due to hormonal changes.
  5. Frequent Urination: Hormonal changes and increased blood flow can lead to more frequent trips to the bathroom.
  6. Food Cravings or Aversions: Changes in taste preferences or aversions to certain foods may develop.
  7. Mood Swings: Hormonal fluctuations can lead to emotional changes.
  8. Bloating and Constipation: Changes in digestion can occur due to hormonal changes.
  9. Headaches: Hormonal shifts may cause headaches in some individuals.
  10. Light Spotting: Known as implantation bleeding, this can occur when the fertilized egg attaches to the uterine lining.

If you suspect you might be pregnant, it is a good idea to take a home pregnancy test and consult with a healthcare provider for confirmation and guidance.
