If you're pregnant, you might notice a change to the skin around your nipples (called the areola). What would you see?
It becomes lumpier
It turns lighter in colour
It turns darker in colour
The skin that surrounds your nipples is called your areola. If it gets darker, it may mean you have conceived.
Once you're pregnant, you won't have any bleeding at all. True or false?
About eight days after ovulation, you may have a little spotting, when the fertilized egg burrows into the lining of your uterus (womb). You may have also what looks like a period. This is known as breakthrough bleeding. It happens when the hormones that control your menstrual cycle break through the pregnancy hormones that are flooding your body.
A sign of pregnancy is…
Going to the loo more often
Going to the shops more often
Going to see your mum more often
You may find yourself needing to wee more often once the embryo implants and begins producing the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG).
If you're pregnant, you're likely to feel...
Full of energy and keen to get down the gym
Very tired and ready for bed earlier than usual
The urge to take up a new hobby
Fatigue is a hallmark of early pregnancy. High levels of the hormone progesterone can make you feel as if you've run a marathon when all you've done is put in a day at the office.
How will your breasts change if you're pregnant?
They'll toughen up – getting ready for breastfeeding already
They'll feel smaller
They'll feel swollen and tender
If you're pregnant, your breasts will probably become increasingly tender to the touch, similar to the way they feel before your period, only more so.
Your sense of taste can change when you're pregnant. True or false?
You may notice that your sense of taste changes. Some women say they have a metallic taste in their mouth, others that they cannot stand the taste of coffee, tea, or a food they usually like.
Morning sickness is a well-known sign of pregnancy. But when are you most likely to get it?
The minute you have conceived
A few weeks after conception
After 12 weeks of pregnancy
You're most likely to start to feel queasy a few weeks after conception, but it is possible to have morning sickness as early as a couple of days after conception. It usually fades after the first trimester.
Missing a period is the surest sign of pregnancy. True of false?
A missed period is the surest sign of pregnancy if you're of childbearing age and you have regular periods. If you're usually pretty regular and your period is late, it's time to get a pregnancy test.
