The symptoms of pregnancy differ from one woman to another as well as from one pregnancy to another. However, there are 10 common very early signs of pregnancy that most women do experience. While some women may experience just a couple of them, others may have a number of the very early pregnancy signs. Once conception takes place, it usually takes about one week for the fertilized egg to be implanted in the uterus. Once the egg is implanted, most women will start experiencing some of the 10 pregnancy signs, which will indicate to them that they are pregnant. These signs come about because at this time there is a change in the hormone levels in the body, to which the body reacts. Given below is a list of the 10 most common very early signs of pregnancy.

Difference or Delay in Menstruation: Missed or delayed periods is one of the most common symptoms of pregnancy that lead to women testing for pregnancy. Once pregnancy occurs, moat women miss their next period. Some women do bleed during their pregnancy, but the bleeding is typically lighter and shorter compared to normal menstruation.

Bleeding on Implantation: The embryo is implanted in the wall of the uterus about 6 to 12 days after conception. This is when some spotting or bleeding can occur. The bleeding due to implantation is characterized by being brownish or pinkish, and not heavy. Some women may also experience cramping. This, in fact, is usually one the earliest signs of pregnancy.

Tender or Swollen Breasts and Nipples: Tender or swollen breasts and nipples can be experienced as early as 1 to 2 weeks after conception takes place. Women usually experience changes in their breasts, such as swelling up, soreness, or being tender to the touch.

Darkening of the Areolas: The skin around the nipples can darken about one week after conception. Even the little bumps on the areolas may seem more prominent.

Morning Sickness or Nausea: This symptom of early pregnancy, which is well-known, usually occurs sometime around 2 to 8 weeks after conception. While some women feel nauseous all through most of the pregnancy, others may not experience it at all, or may experience just a mild form of it.

Frequent Urination: An increase in the frequency of urination is another common symptom of early pregnancy. The changes in the levels of hormones that is caused due to the embryo implanting itself in the uterus, particularly the hormone HCG, or human chorionic gonadtropin, results in an increase in the frequency of urination.

Cravings for Foods: Many women experience cravings for foods, which begins early in the pregnancy, which can last all through the pregnancy.

Tiredness and Fatigue: Feeling a sense of tiredness or fatigue can also begin early in the pregnancy - as early as the first week, in fact.

Backache: Aches in the lower back is another common symptom most women experience beginning from the very early stages of their pregnancy, which can last all through the pregnancy.

Headache: The sudden changes and increase of hormones can cause headaches to occur in the early stages of pregnancy.

Abdominal cramps during early pregnancy are a normal happening that all women experience. A more serious problem is when you are suffering lower abdominal pain. Then it is best that you consult your physician. It is not uncommon for many women to suffer the lower cramps which are referred to as sporadic abdominal discomfort. These sporadic abdominal cramps are similar to those pain felt during a normal period. It is a sign that your uterus is preparing to carry your baby through the next nine months. If you are suffering the pains with other symptoms then you will need to immediately contact your physician.

Women, who suffer from chills, fever, spotting along with abdominal cramps during early pregnancy maybe suffering from other more harmful conditions, when a fertilized egg attaches outside of a woman's uterus then this condition is referred to as Ectopic Pregnancy. The egg usually will attach itself to the fallopian tube. Normally this condition is caught in the first few weeks and treated right away. If for some reason it does not get noticed and treated it could be very dangerous as the fallopian tube may result in rupture.

The signs and symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy include spotting, abdominal pain and tenderness. These signs are accompanied with lower back pain, shoulder pain, dizziness or faintness. If you suspect an ectopic pregnancy please contact your physician right away. Abdominal cramps during early pregnancy unfortunately can occasionally mean that you are about to have a miscarriage. Typically, the symptoms for a miscarriage are bleeding that might be light or heavy, menstrual cramps that gradually increase in intensity. Some women suffer from back pain.

If any of these symptoms arise please contact your physician immediately. Remain calm because it does not necessarily mean that you are in the process of having a miscarriage as other things maybe going on that are lesser by nature. Some ladies suffer from lower back pain due to kidney stones, gallbladder disease or even pancreatitis. When you suffer from one of these diseases it is debilitating and in some cases warrants surgery. An abdominal cramp during early pregnancy usually happens to just about all women who are pregnant therefore please do not panic. It is always for the best to contact your physicians. There is good news, however, women who have abdominal cramps during early pregnancy find it occurs from uterus stretching, from gas or even constipation.

It is true that you might be suffering from round ligament pain which may result in short stabbing and sharp aches in one or both sides of the abdomen. This pain can be relieved very quickly simply by changing your position or simply just relaxing. When you do feel abdominal cramps during your early pregnancy the best thing for you to do is set down, put your feet up, and relax. Normal abdominal pain may be caused by the simplest of things:

• Gas pains and bloating caused by hormones that slow your digestion process down.
• The pressure of your growing uterus.
• Constipation *note contact a doctor before taking any type of laxative.
• Heartburn caused by something that you ate that did not agree with you or the baby.

A lot of women do have abdominal cramps during early pregnancy which is normal as the embryo is embedding itself in the lining of the uterus. Cramping in the last weeks of the pregnancy is a sign that labor is almost ready to start. At the start of your labor you will have very strong cramps that are severe in nature and about five to ten minutes apart.

This is time to contact your physician and go immediately to the hospital for the delivery. The early part of your pregnancy these cramps can be mild to severe so it is up to you to check with your physician and make sure that it is just the natural part of your pregnancy and not anything to worry about.
