What are signs I may be pregnant?

Typical signs of pregnancy are, the most obvious, missing a period. If you miss your period, then taking a pregnancy test is not a bad idea. Other signs tend to be breast tenderness, nausea, although nausea doesn't always kick in until six to eight weeks. Breast tenderness tends to be a pretty early sign. Also a lot of people complain of bloating or a feeling of fullness. They often tap their belly when it's very flat and say, "I'm much bigger than I usually am," and it's not true to the naked eye, but a patient can tell when they are starting to show a little bit. So, a sense of increased size, a little breast tenderness, a little nausea, and no period are all indicators of possibly pregnancy.
