Whether you are actively planning conception, or you forgot to take your birth control pills, all of a sudden you feel fatigued and queasy. Could it be that you pushed it too much at the gym, or ate something that didn't agree with you? It's possible, or it could be that you're pregnant!

Well aside from missing your menstrual cycle, feeling more tired than usual and experiencing nausea, a pregnant woman can experience breast tenderness accompanied by slight swelling, and a darkening of the areola. You may feel moody, and become susceptible to heartburn and constipation. Some women experience intermittent bleeding (called spotting) and the need to urinate will also increase significantly.
In addition to having cravings for particular foods, you can also develop an intense aversion to foods that you may have enjoyed prior to pregnancy, and even vice versa. Some women also notice a heightened sense of smell, which ties in to the aforementioned food aversion. All of a sudden you can smell all of the foods that make you nauseous, even when no one else can.
As your pregnancy develops, you may notice pain in your lower body, such as your hips (which widen to accommodate the passage of the baby) and your back (which is put under considerable strain with the weight of your growing child). Stretch marks can start making an appearance, as well as a dark line running the length of your stomach, called linea nigra. Your hands and feet may begin to swell, and you may experience shortness of breath from carrying around your baby's extra pounds.
