Hello Doctor,
I've been feeling a heaviness in my body, and I'm not sure if I could be pregnant. Can you help me understand what might be happening?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
You are experiencing a sense of bodily heaviness and are uncertain about the possibility of pregnancy. In reality, weight gain and experiencing sickness are only two among several potential indicators of pregnancy.
Pregnancy is associated with various signs in the early stages, including:
Missed Period
Nausea and Vomiting (commonly referred to as 'morning' sickness)
Breast Tenderness and Enlargement
Fatigue
Frequent Urination, particularly at night
Food Cravings and Aversions
Persistent Sour or Metallic Taste (dysgeusia)
It's essential to recognize that many pregnancy signs can also be caused by stress or illness. To determine whether you are pregnant, consider taking a home pregnancy test (urine test) or consulting with your GP. They can perform urine tests, blood tests, or ultrasound scans to confirm your pregnancy status.
Thanks
