What are the symptoms that female friends may experience during early pregnancy?

In the early stages of pregnancy, women usually experience symptoms such as missed menstrual period, lethargy, dizziness, frequent urination, morning sickness, breast tenderness, and increased sensitivity to odors. Here are some specific details:

1. Missed Menstrual Period

For all expectant mothers, the missed menstrual period is a telltale sign of pregnancy from the moment it begins. Many mothers-to-be realize they are pregnant through this symptom.

2. Lethargy

In the early stages of pregnancy, some expectant mothers may experience varying degrees of lethargy, wanting to go to bed early in the evening and feeling unable to wake up in the morning. They may also feel extremely fatigued during shopping or moderate exercise.

3. Dizziness

In the early stages of pregnancy, sitting or standing for a long time, or experiencing a slight degree of fatigue, can cause expectant mothers to feel dizzy.

4. Frequent Urination

During early pregnancy, as the uterus enlarges, it may compress the bladder in the pelvic cavity, leading to frequent urination. However, when the uterus enlarges and rises into the abdominal cavity, the bladder will no longer be compressed in the pelvic cavity, and frequent urination will disappear.

5. Morning Sickness

Normal pregnant women often experience nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, a preference for sour foods, and picky eating habits around 6 weeks after their menstrual period stops. Some expectant mothers may experience significant morning sickness.

6. Breast Tenderness

After early pregnancy, the breasts enlarge under the stimulation of estrogen and progesterone, leading to pain in the breasts and nipples. First-time pregnancies tend to have more sensitive breast reactions. After childbirth and breastfeeding, the reaction is generally less pronounced. If you normally experience breast tenderness before menstruation, the distinction may not be apparent.

7. Increased Sensitivity to Odors

If you have just become pregnant, you may find the smell of cooking oil fumes or tea intolerable, and certain fragrances may even make you nauseous. Although no one can be certain, this may be due to the rapid increase of estrogen in the body. You may also suddenly find that foods you once loved suddenly make you feel nauseous.
