Pregnancy, especially the very first in a couple's life, is always the best thing that happens in their marriage lives. Though with so many troubles, a couple is disturbed without. The joys of coming together in marriage is cut short when after four to six months, no symptoms of pregnancy emerged.
However, the situation may not be that bad initially as the couple began consultations with experts. Most of the time, the women feel the pain more, because the whole problem lands on them no matter who was really at fault. Though experts say that in every case of delayed pregnancy, the man becomes the primary suspect, but experience has shown that the society is yet to believe that. This then puts the woman in a state of confusion, always ready to try and put every advice into good use.
Let us recall that that the onset and degree of pregnancy symptoms vary within women. Many women experience them within days of conception, others take a few weeks before pregnancy symptoms kick in and a lucky few feel no discomfort at all. Early pregnancy symptoms can be felt once implantation occurs (8 -10 days from ovulation) and will lessen after the first trimester. It is frustrating to realize that many pregnancy symptoms are very similar to those that occur right before menstruating. Most women do not know that they have taken in due to their inability to study their body feelings very well. Also most pregnancies are aborted ignorantly by the very people who get disturbed for not conceiving. Women often bombard their body systems with strong drugs, especially when high temperatures are experienced.
A woman's temperature is higher whenever she becomes pregnant because her body is going through some major hormonal changes which normally causes her to feel a little sluggish. Self medication at this period is very dangerous because it could result to abortion. In most cases, nausea and vomiting may come as early as a week into the pregnancy. Many women experience illness in the morning (morning sickness), some in the afternoon or evening, others feel nausea throughout the entire day. There is no explanation as to why pregnant women feel this or even a solution as to how to prevent it, however, eating small frequent meals, and snacking on saltine crackers seems to give some kind of relief. Eating a protein/carbohydrate at bedtime (try an apple and a glass of milk) tends to lessen the nausea that occurs in the morning. No woman should expect to feel the same way with another during pregnancy.
Most married women who feel to urinate frequently or observe that their breasts are very tender and swollen or enlarged pass it up to mean a different kind of sickness. Pregnancy causes the uterus to swell and it will start to enlarge for the growing fetus. The uterus puts pressure on the bladder making the woman to feel the need for more frequent urination. Experts say that some women carelessly mistake light bleeding (spotting) which may occur approximately 8-10 days from ovulation to mean their actual menstruation, because it usually happens around the same time they would have gotten their menstrual period. As a result they felt that they have started their period when in fact, they are pregnant.
