You Might Be Pregnant If....

Your breasts are now twice their normal size.

One of the early trademarks of pregnancy are sensitive, sore
breasts. This is caused by an increase in the level of hormones.
However, this too will pass. Once your rising hormone levels
have stabilized and your body adjusts, the tenderness will
diminish. You should be feeling much better after the first
trimester. 

The monthly visitor has failed to visit.

This actually isn't one of the best signals that you may be
pregnant. You may have some spotting due to implantation
bleeding (although this is uncommon). Most women notice other
symptoms before this one comes along. A pregnancy test is
usually your best bet. 

You suddenly crave apples and pretzels (or any other unusual
food for that matter).

Many women claim to crave certain foods during pregnancy. Food
aversions are also very common. You may want to take a pregnancy
test if your favorite food no longer lingers for your attention.

Your mornings are often spent over the toilet bowl (morning
sickness strikes again).

Most women don't experience morning sickness until about a month
after conception. These peak around 8 to 10 weeks into your
pregnancy and then level off in the second trimester. A lucky
few escape it completely. 

Exhaustion sets in after a normal day at work

The increased hormone levels and changes in your body can make
you exhausted. Your energy should increase in the second
trimester.

Aromas that are 15 feet away now seem to be invading your space.

Many newly pregnant women experience increased sensitivity to
odors. This may be a side effect of increasing levels of
estrogen in your body. 

You sprint to the bathroom every five minutes.

#1 proof! Home pregnancy test declares that "Yes, you are
pregnant." Despite any previous threats. 

In spite of all of this, often when women are asked to name what
the most empowering moment of their lives was, the most common
answer is giving birth.
