But the question is do we actually feel anything at week 1?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s find an answer to this!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may think that the normal pregnancy duration is 9 months. But this is not the case indeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The total duration of pregnancy is measured from the first day of your last menstrual cycle taking in all the time it requires for egg making, release, and then fertilization. So, it totals your gestation period to 10 months rather than 9 months, unlike what we believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of this preparation occurs 3-4 weeks before you actually get pregnant and that\u2019s what you call week one of being pregnant. During this time you are less likely to experience anything. So, technically is all the preparation your body does to implant a fertilized egg.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1st_week_of_pregnancy_-_what_does_it_look_like\"><\/span>1st Week of Pregnancy &#8211; What Does it Look Like?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An ovary releases an egg which gets fertilized by sperm and this phenomenon is known as conception. Conception is nothing more than mere fertilization. A week (6-7 days) after conception, the fertilized embryo attached itself to the uterus lining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this implantation, the egg\u2019s attachment to the lining of the womb results in the breaking of blood vessels and at that time you can experience some symptoms. So, here are some of the early pregnancy symptoms during week 1.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-_implantation_bleeding\"><\/span>1- Implantation Bleeding<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When a fertilized embryo tries to attach itself to the walls of the uterus, this <a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/humrep\/article\/18\/9\/1944\/708284\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">embryo attachment with uterus walls results in bleeding<\/a>, as proven by research Unlike your menstrual bleeding, implantation bleeding is different. You only get to see the small spots or sometimes a pink-colored discharge as implantation bleeding. The duration of this bleeding can last from hours to days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suggested Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/healthcare\/best-exercises-for-normal-delivery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Exercises for normal delivery<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-_cramping\"><\/span>2- Cramping<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During implantation, other than bleeding some women may also experience cramping.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These cramps affect the usual spots in your body including the abdomen, pelvic region, and lower back. The intensity and duration of menstrual cramps can vary. These cramps cause little discomfort and can last for a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suggested Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/healthcare\/home-remedies-to-get-rid-of-pregnancy-leg-cramps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Get Rid of Pregnancy Cramps<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"common_pregnancy_symptoms_in_week_1\"><\/span>Common Pregnancy Symptoms in Week 1<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many women think that a missed period is certainly an important sign of early pregnancy. However, a missed period isn\u2019t necessarily due to conception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the top reviewed gynecologist in Lahore, <a href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/doctors\/lahore\/gynecologist\/dr-maliha-amjad-2934761\">Dr Maliha Amjad<\/a> &#8220;<em>Sometimes, there can be other underlying causes as well such as hormonal imbalance, etc. Your menstrual cycle can get a bit late because of these hormonal fluctuations.<\/em>&#8221; Putting it aside, let\u2019s talk about some of the common symptoms of pregnancy that you can experience during 1st week. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Nausea that occurs with or without vomiting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Frequent urination<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Changes in body temperature (a higher basal body temperature)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Breast swelling, tingling, or tenderness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fatigue<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pelvic pain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bloating or gas formation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mood swings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Altered food preferences<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An increased sense of smell<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feeling a metallic taste in mouth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Seeing acne on your face<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/diseases\/diarrhoea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Diarrhea<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/diseases\/constipation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">constipation<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>However, be mindful that not everyone is going to experience these signs. You can be pregnant with or without experiencing these signs. So, a better approach is to take a pregnancy test. You can confirm your pregnancy at home using test strips.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you have been struggling with conception in the past then it is better to go to your gynecologist for an imaging test to confirm your pregnancy, as recommended by the best doctors from <a href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/hospitals\/lahore\/gulab-devi-chest-hospital\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gulab Devi Hospital Lahore<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suggested Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/healthcare\/pregnancy-test-strips-in-pakistan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pregnancy Strips in Pakistan<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"a_word_from_healthwire\"><\/span>A Word from Healthwire<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter if you witness pregnancy symptoms in week 1 or not, be mindful to make wise choices. Your lifestyle choices during early pregnancy can pave your path to a healthy journey.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, here are some of the tips that can help you to stay healthy during this early phase:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Never forget your prenatal vitamins if you are planning a baby<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always consume healthy foods&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Never compromise on your sleep quality<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Put a hold on your caffeine consumption&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Start working out<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Other than these tips, it is also important for you to track your menstrual cycle to know when it&#8217;s happening. Also, it is important to have a preconception checkup with your doctor for a better experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can consult the <a href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/doctors\/islamabad\/gynecologist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">best gynecologist in Islamabad<\/a> via Healthwire to make wise decisions regarding your health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pregnancy&#8230; A journey that changes your life once and for all.&nbsp; But the start of&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":9884,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9880","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-womens-health"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What are Some Common Pregnancy Symptoms in Week 1? - Healthwire<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"No matter if you witness pregnancy symptoms in week 1 or not, be mindful to make wise choices.
