First, you should know how pregnancy is counted. It would be weird to start counting form the last time you had period, because the conceiving took part  around two weeks later. For example, if your doctor says that you are 10 weeks pregnant, you actually conceived the child about 8 weeks ago. That is why it is recommended to take a pregnancy test two weeks after you conceived. However, many women can detec pregnancy symptoms in week 1.

We will now highlight the most important and obvious symptoms of pregnancy in the first week. 

1. Food aversion and nausea

These are the most awful pregnancy symptoms for week 1. You will notice that you will not like food that you usually liked. You will see that there are types of food that will make you feel sick; it is said that even thinking of them it makes you very sensitive. Because of the implantation, you will feel nauseous, symptom that many women see it as food poisoning.

2. Breast sensitivity and tiredness

One of the most common pregnancy symptoms for the 1 week is breast sensitivity. You will feel as if they are swollen and there is an explication for this - the swelling is the result of the hormones production by your body during pregnancy. In addition, you will see that your energy will be lower and lower and you will feel more and more exhausted, even if you have the same routine as before being pregnant. 

3. Light cramping and spotting

These two symptoms go together. Spotting also known as implantation bleeding, appears when the egg implants in the uterus; this may cause spotting before a missed period. Yous should not panic because of this, but if this happens to you often, and there is a lot of bleeding, then you should immediately go to a health care provider. As previously said, spotting comes together with light cramps in lower part of the abdomen, the pains being very similar to the one during period. The problem is that the majority of women mistake these two first week pregnancy symptoms, spotting and cramps, for a period, when in reality they are already pregnant. 

Other pregnancy symptoms 1 week that are wroth mentioning are morning sickness, back aches and craving for food that you would not normally eat. 

You will see that after the 1 week has ended, your period will also end. After this, the uterus will start to build up and to become thicker and thicker in order to accommodate the fertilized egg. 

Women become fragile when they get pregnant and determining when you do get pregnant can be a bit difficult and sometimes even odd. When your pregnancy is not planned, you will usually notice it after 5 to 12 weeks, however, when it is planned you can check for pregnancy symptoms 1 week. Counting the weeks after you've conceived can also be confusing, but only a little bit and here you go to see your doctor and he tells you that you're 12 weeks pregnant, when in fact you're actually just 10 weeks pregnant after you've conceived. That's because you did not actually conceive until after two weeks from your last period and though it may seem odd, but this has been the universal rule for counting in pregnancy, not like your math teacher.

There are ways to check for pregnancy symptoms 1 week and by doing so can help you prepare for a lot of things before hand. For instance you can use the pregnancy test kit to know whether or not you are pregnant. For a more comprehensive testing you can follow the ten signs we've listed below:

1. Missed Period
If you're married, living with your boyfriend or fiancé or engage in sexual intercourse often (unprotected) and you find out one morning that you've missed your period, then it is time to take the test. Get yourself a pregnancy test kit and check your urine to confirm if you really are pregnant or not.

2. Morning Sickness
More than 50% of women goes through the “morning sickness” during the early stage of pregnancy. It is normally characterized by vomiting, nausea, heightened senses, tingling feeling all over your body, etc.

3. Sore Breasts and Changes in Areola.
Your breasts will feel sore or tingling when anything comes into contact with it.

4. Mucus Plug / Cervical Mucus Discharge
Cervical mucus discharges from your vigina and this is a very common thing for pregnant women.

5. Frequent Urination
The baby will grow in your uterus, so there may be times that you will feel like you will want to urinate often, but again this is a normal sign for pregnant women.

6. Headaches
Your body will undergo extreme hormonal imbalance during pregnancy and as a result you may experience headaches often, which is associated with your morning sickness.


7. Implantation Bleeding
When the fetus attaches to the uterine wall it is referred to as “implantation” and this causes slight bleeding. You might notice that your underwear has red spots or a pinkish spot that's almost as if you have a period, but it is not.

8. Elevated Basal Temperature
You'll notice that your base temperature is also higher than normal.

9. Constipation
Because of hormonal imbalance, you may also feel like you're constipated.

10. From Enhanced Smell to Complexion Problems
Complexity carries along during the time of your pregnancy, so it is not weird or odd to get those unexplainable feelings, just carry on and soon you will pull through with it.
