Whether you want to be pregnant or not the first day of your period can seem to take an age to arrive if you suspect you may have conceived.

If you feel pregnant but it is still to early for a test you will be looking for other signs. These are some of the earliest signs of pregnancy. If pregnant you may experience some of these signs:

• Sore breasts and darkened areolas(the skin around your nipples)
• Slight spotting around the time your period was due (known as implantation bleeding)
• Nausea
• Heightened sense of smell
• Food cravings (yes you can get them this early)
• Frequent need to wee
• Tiredness or exhaustion
• Morning sickness
• Missed period
• Positive pregnancy test (a relief to know after all of those “what if”s)
