HD How Do I Know I'm Pregnant? Some common early signs of pregnancy are: • Missed menstrual period— You might think this is the most obvious sign of being pregnant, and it is, but some women can actually still have a light period after they've become pregnant. • Nausea or vomiting at any time of the day— So-called "morning sickness" can hit different women at different times, or may not occur at all. Nausea from being pregnant can have feelings similar to premenstrual symptoms, but lasting longer. • Unusual fatigue or sleepiness • Moodiness or irritability • An unusual metallic taste in your mouth • Loss of all or most of your usual inclinations for coffee, tea, wine and other alcoholic drinks • Heaviness or tenderness in your breasts and a mild tingling in your nipples • Increased need to urinate For more information on CentraState's ob-gyns or for a referral, call 866-CENTRA7 (866-236-8727).
