Less Common Signs of Pregnancy
We all know the major signs of pregnancy: a missed period, fatigue or throwing up in the mornings. But there are less common signs of pregnancy as well--here are a few of the things you might experience.
-
What's that Smell?
-
Some women find that their sense of smell gets stronger in early pregnancy, and odors that were once tolerable are suddenly unbearable. Cigarette smoke, coffee and fish are common culprits.
A Strange Taste
-
Women occasionally report an odd, metallic taste in their mouths early in pregnancy.
-
Improved Mood
-
You know how PMS can turn you into a cranky mess? Pregnancy sometimes has the opposite effect, causing you to mellow out and be more even-tempered than usual.
Increased Saliva
-
Another uncommon early sign of pregnancy is an increase in saliva production. Women who were once the epitome of ladylike demureness find themselves spitting into trash cans to get rid of the excess.
Bigger Breasts
-
Your breasts usually get bigger later in the pregnancy, but sometimes they start to increase in size before you've even missed your period. A few men have diagnosed a pregnancy in their partners before the women had a clue.
