Most women who have morning sickness develop nausea and vomiting about one month after conception, but it may develop sooner in some women. Its typical onset is anywhere between the 2nd and 8th weeks of pregnancy. Traditionally referred to as "morning sickness," the nausea and vomiting associated with early pregnancy can occur at any time of the day or night. Nausea and vomiting (morning sickness) also are common in early pregnancy. In fact, a woman may experience different symptoms in a second or subsequent pregnancy than she did in her first pregnancy. The experience of pregnancy symptoms is highly individualized and differs among women. A missed menstrual period also does not confirm that a woman is pregnant even if she has regular cycles, since both emotional and physical conditions may cause absent or delayed periods. However, if a woman does not have regular menstrual cycles, she may notice some of the other symptoms of early pregnancy before it is apparent that the menstrual period has been missed. This is referred to as implantation bleeding.Īny bleeding during pregnancy is typically lighter than that observed during the regular menstrual period. This small amount of bleeding that happens at the time of the expected menstrual period occurs because the fertilized egg attaches to the uterine wall. When it occurs, this so-called "implantation bleeding" is generally not as heavy or long as a regular menstrual period. Sometimes a woman who is pregnant may still experience some bleeding or spotting around the time of the expected period, typically 6 to 12 days after conception. Still, other women may not experience any particular symptoms at all during early pregnancy and may not be aware of their condition.Ī missed menstrual period is most often the first sign of pregnancy and is a common first-trimester symptom. In some cases, breast tenderness or other symptoms are the first sign of pregnancy. While a missed menstrual period is often the characteristic sign of pregnancy, women who do not have regular menstrual cycles may not recognize that a menstrual period has been missed. Women in the early stages of pregnancy may experience a number of different symptoms that may signal a pregnancy.

Most often the first sign of pregnancy is a missed menstrual period.
