Pregnancy Symptom – the Classic Symptoms

The first reaction to early sign of pregnancy is disbelief, joy followed by a feeling of uncertainty. A visit to the doctor and a blood test is the only way to confirm your pregnancy. Early pregnancy tests are very reliable and even show the accurate results of a 2-week-old embryo. Before the visit to a doctor for the confirmation of pregnancy, it is very important to watch out for pregnancy symptoms. The precautions taken during early sign of pregnancy is very important for embryo’s health and well being. Some of the most recognizable signs of pregnancy are as follows.

Classic pregnancy symptoms

These pregnancy symptoms appear soon after fertilization, within 8-10 days after conception. Some of the pregnancy symptoms stay with you for the entire period of gestation, while some pregnancy symptoms disappear as the pregnancy advances. They stop troubling you as your body starts getting used to change in hormones and settles to the imminent body changes. A few temporary early signs of pregnancy are:

Missed periods or less bleeding at the onset of periods. The absence of periods during the duration of pregnancy is because now the uterine lining need not be shed but used for implantation of the embryo.

Lower abdominal cramps, which begin soon after the implantation of embryo, disappear within a week or two. Headaches caused by rising levels of hormones in the first few days of pregnancy too disappear once the body accepts the change in hormonal levels.

The pregnancy symptoms that last the entire period of pregnancy are:

Nausea and vomiting are the early signs of pregnancy starting in the second week itself. The degree in which you feel sick varies from full fledged to none as the pregnancy advances. It is fairly controlled during the third trimester, making you feel more relaxed and happy.

Tender and swollen breasts appear soon after conception and stays with you till the entire period. It is the nature’s way to make the breast ready for baby’s breastfeeding. In the last trimester the breasts secrete a liquid called colostrums, which provides immunity to the baby.

Enlarging and darkening of areola is the first sign of pregnancy, and lasts throughout.

Frequent urination and constipation is early sign of pregnancy and increases with the advancing pregnancy due to the pressure of the growing embryo on the surrounding body organs.

Exhaustion and tiredness occurs from initial stages of pregnancy and stay the entire duration of the gestation.

Food cravings for a particular type of food are still an unsolved mystery. Some doctors feel this is the way the body acquires the adequate minerals required by the growing embryo. This pregnancy symptom is an early sign of pregnancy and stays on till the end.

Increased sense of smell and taste too varies in all stages of pregnancy.

If you experience these pregnancy symptoms then take care of your health. Avoid harmful products; start taking balanced diet and some extra folic acid for happy and healthy pregnancy.

Early Pregnancy Diagnosis in Ruminants

PREGNANCY DIAGNOSIS IN ruminants

1 Introduction

Rectal palptation in small ruminants is of little value due to the size of the pelvis. (Wani, 1981). The caudal artery monitoring, bloatment, non-return to oestrus, udder development and other tests tried have had little success, (Wani & Sahni,1980). The more recent interest in early pregnancy 3. diagnosis of small ruminants is of academic and economic importance (Mellado,2003). A highly valued zygote or embryo when transferred to a less valued surrogate mother (recipient) needs to be closely monitored and the early detection of conception helps in repeated use of baren females. Proper management of pregnant animals also prevents embryonic losses. The method applied should be safe to both offspring and dam and needs to be cheap and easily applied. A review of various methods and techniques used for early pregnancy diagnosis in small ruminants. (sheep and goats) is presented.

.2 Early Signs of Pregnancy

2.1. Maintenance of a functional corpus luteum

It was evident that conception prolongs the life of the CL and prolongation and maintenance of a functional CL is triggered by the developing conceptus. These signals ensure the maintenance of the structural integrity of the CL. Corpus luteum produces progesterone, which maintains the uterine endometrium in a state permitting embryonic development, implantation and foetal-placental development (wani,1984b) . The formation and regression of the corpus luteum (CL) in Muzzaffarinagri ewes and Jamunapari goats was monitored at 3 days intervals for an entire oestruous cycle. Laparotomy and laparoscopic methods were used in these experiments.

The Endometrium undergoes tissue remodeling. This change in Extra cellular Matrix (ECM ) components is needed for successful implantation. Cytokinens 8,18 and 19 have been detected in the caprine endometrium during early pregnancy using immunofluorescence. Thus the presence of these cytokinen at approximately day 15 post conception is indicative of pregnancy in goats.

The implantation process in goats starts around day 18 post mating. During this phase intense type I collagen staining was detected throughout the uterine caruncular and intracaruncular stroma. For embryonic trophoblastic adhesions with endometrium, local control of protease activity is suggested. (Guillomot, 1999).

The earliest signs of pregnancy is the non-regression of the cyclic CL, which can be observed by the following methods:

i. Laparoscopy and Laparotomy approximately day 18-25 post mating. (Wani, 1982, 1988, 1984b,Wani & Buchoo, 1990, Wani & Buchoo, 1993, Cuellar et al, 1990, Wani et al, 2003).

ii. Serum Progesterone values higher than 1 ng/ml e.g 2 to 3 ng/ml. (Wani, 1989; Shreif, 1997, Boscas et al, 2003, Al-Merestani et al, 1999, Zarkawiet et al, 1999). Diagnosis of Pregnancy accurately (100%) predicted on the basis of serum progesterone P4 values around 17-19 days post mating .

iii. Pregnancy associated ovine glycoproteins recorded approximately post mating indicate pregnancy in sheep. (Karen et al, 2003; Verberckmoes, et al, 2004) or secretion of 17 & 22-24 K Da proteins on day 17 post mating in the caprine conceptus. (Guillomot et al, 1998).

iv. Non-return to oestrus (Mellado, 2003)

Some of the other early pregnancy signs detected by various methods are set out in Table 1.

3 Non-rejection of early conceptus

Progesterone maintains the uterine endometrium in a state which allows for embryonic development, implantation and foetal placental development. Details of foetomaternal relationships have been described (Mufti, 1997, Mufti et al, 2000)and are shown illustrated in Fig 1to 5. The presence of an early conceptus prolongs the life of corpus- luteum. These pregnancy signals are secreted as proteins. (Heap et al, 1990). Some of these proteins have been identified as ovine Trophablast protein I (OTP-1) in sheep which prevents the release of PGF2 alpha and thus helps in the maintenance of the corpus luteum. In cyclic ewes (non-pregnant) PGF2 alpha pulses are released in response to oxytocin with receptors being in the endometrium. The earliest signal of pregnancy is detected by a marked reduction in the endometrial oxytocin receptor numbers. The OTP-1 may inhibit synthesis of endometrial receptors for oestrogen and oxytocin. This possibly prevents luteolysis and maintains the dominance of theuterus by progesterone which is pre-requisite for the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy. (Bretzlaft and Romano, 2001; Wani, 1996; Ala cam et al, 1988).

The expression of progesterone receptors (PR) in the caprine uterus markedly increases during the peri-implantation period and estrogen –(ER) receptors do not increase in relation to PR, thus signaling the non-rejection of the early conceptus. (Flores et al, 2001). Progesterone in milk too can be found during early fertilization and conception (Cough et al, 1989).

Caprine H-type I antigen expression is unregulated during peri-implantation and progesterone P4 level stimulate it. It may be a useful marker to signal uterine preparations for receiving and retaining pregnancy in goats. (Powell et al, 2000). The caprine pregnancy related glycoprotein (Ca PAG) may help the conceptus to develop and is found around 18-19 day post mating . (Garbayo et al 2000). Endometrial tissue the undergoes remodeling to retain the conceptus in gravid small ruminant females. (Guillomot, 1999)

The dephosphorylated state of caprine uterine myocin in early pregnancy may help the conceptus to grow. Changes in the expression of native myocin, myosin heavy chains (MHCS) and myosin light chains (MLCS) were observed. (Kumar and Katoch, 1997).

For the development of the blastocyst, a proper uterine environment is essential. Besides the maintenance of the corpus luteum, production and availability of progesterone, the non-rejection of conceptus (blastocyst) is another critical feature of this period. The embryo produces interferons (embryo-IFN). This embryo IFN is homologous with – interfersons ( ? –IFN) and Ovine Trophoblast Interferons (OTI) of early pregnancy.

Purified OTP and recombinant OTP (r-oTP) produced in yeast exhibit antiviral activity and these r-OTP and OTP inhibit the release of endometrial PGF2 ? . This helps in the non-regression of the CL and indirectly maintains the early conceptus. Intra uterine r-OTP administered at a dose of 340 µg/ day for a week maintained the C.L in cyclic ewes for a month or so of . The inter- oestruos interval in 80% of the ewes was about a month or more. This dose r-OTP was as a effective as 14-16 day old conceptus. OTP was found to be immunosuppressive in several in-vitro and in-vivo assays. An assay on phytohaemagglutinin A revealed both OTP and r-OTP to be immunosuppressive. This was further verified by the inhibitory activity of r-OTP in Graft Versus Host Reaction. (GVH assays). Trophoblast interferons play a strategic role in the prevention of early pregnancy loss as it inhibits CD + blastogenesis. The role of CD + cells and as helper T lymphocytes and delayed+ Type hyper sensitivity mediators (DTHS) would explain this immuno- suppressive rate of OTP. (ILeri et al, 1996; Karen et al, 2003; Wani, 1996).

3.4 Oestrogen: – Pregesterone ratio (E:P ratio)

The role of oxytocin in inducing uterine PGF2 alpha was discussed earlier. However, the release of PGF2 under the action of oxytocin depends on or is controlled by progesterone and oestradiol. It was further indicated that ewes with a high E:P ratio may generate stronger luteolytic signals. It was demonstrated that low progesterone and high oestradiol combination record the largest and sustained increase in PGF2 alpha following oxytocin injection. Trophoblast interferons act locally to suppress the uterine oxytocin receptors in sheep.(Karen et al, 2003 ).

5 Maternal recognition of pregnancy

The maternal recognition of pregnancy in sheep and cattle is centered around the production by the trophoblast of type I x interferon (tINF). This tIFN then suppresses uterine oxytocin receptor concentrations (OTr). The oxytocin receptor (OTr) occupancy is associated with oxytocin induced PGF2 alpha release. OTr inhibition may represent the principal antiluteolytic mechanism of tIFN and secretion of the conceptus secretory proteins or bovine recombinant IFN to the uterus reduces OTr. Concentrations in intact and ovarectionized steroid treated ewes . A relationship between the conceptus secretory proteins and the metabolic products and those in the peripheral blood of the dam exists. ( Mufti; 1996; Mufti et al, 2000). There are conflicting reports making the action of oestradiol on oxytocin receptor concentration. (Powell et al, 2000). Trophoblastic cells contain interferon on day 14-17 after mating. During maternal recognition of pregnancy goat interferon was detected on day 18 post mating, its absence signifies pregnancy maintenance has been taken over by the corpus luteum. Thus a very thin line exists between maternal recognition of pregnancy and its maintenance or sustenance by the CL. (Gillomot et al, 1998).

6 The Reliability Pregnancy tests

Various methods used for correctly predicting pregnancy in sheep and goats during gestation have been summarized in Table 2. The accuracy varies from 70 to100% with different ultrasonic equipment. Different models as well as principles involved have been extensively reviewed (Wani, 1991; Wani et al,1998) and other methods of pregnancy detection during this stage e.g serum progesterone determination, vaginal cytology, laparotomy, estrone sulphate are summarized (Table-2). Various techniques were also evaluated in assessing mid-gestation. The various pregnancy signs as quoted by

various researchers using ultrasonography are summarized in Table 3. Of late certain anatomical features in the live, developing conceptus in vivo have been reported. This is reviewed and a summary is presented (Table 4). Various live foetal measurements like Biparietal diameter, Amniotic vesicle diameter, foetal radius and Tibia lengths are reviewed and shown (Table 5). Various pregnancy related images, histological sections and morphology of endometeruim have recently be published (Wani et al 2007, 2006 abc) where images are presented 6-15

Pregnant Period – 5 Signs of Pregnancy Before a Missed Period

Pregnant Period Your body is a delicate, yet sturdy cluster of parts, authorities and technology, outstandingly when signs of pregnancy before missed time period is concerned. It is very exact in how it reports abnormalities to your brain. Unfortunately, your brain also houses the emotional controls, so sometimes these types of monumental signs become lost, ignored or get “short circuited” when properties get to the brain. And the result? Pregnant Period

You don’t recognize the fact that you’re pregnant! Just in case the early signs of pregnancy before missed period aren’t making the trip to your consciousness, here are five of the most important (and most often ignored) signs. Fatigue I definitely understand how a woman in this day and age can become exhausted and fatigued – without being pregnant. Working 10 – 12 hours a day at a challenging career, then heading home to care for the husband, your home and maybe even a child or two, it’s quite easy to become tired. Pregnant Period

But, I’m talking fatigue here – you’re so tired that you can barely keep your eyes open! I’m sure you’ve experienced tiredness before, but few (those who have not ever been pregnant) have experienced fatigue. No matter how much sleep you get, it’s never enough. You seem to walk around in a trance, like a zombie with your eyes half open and feeling dull-witted. This fatigue is your body’s way of telling you “Hey – slow down, I’m living for two! And, believe it or not, it’s one of the most-missed early signs of pregnancy.

Constipation Now, this sign is just plain irritating, but it’s definitely a great sign, but one that’s frequently missed. No one is sure exactly constipation is one of the 5 Signs of Pregnancy Before Missed Period, but it happens to at least half of all women who become pregnant. Stress and a low fiber diet may contribute to constipation, but it’s easily remedied with relaxation and some fiber added to the diet.

Breast Tenderness and Nipple Enlargement Now, this one should be no surprise to no one – when expecting, your breasts are turning into food factories for the new life inside your body. Your body knows what’s best, and babies who breastfeed realize tremendous benefits from more complete nutrition, to improved disease resistance to a stronger bond between mother and child. Pregnant Period

Your breasts play a supremely important role as life support for your little one that it’s no wonder they undergo major reconstruction during pregnancy. This should be one of the best clues you’ll get about the new life forming inside you. Start raising a family! Get Pregnant Today by getting Pregnant Period ebook now!

How early can you start having pregnancy symptoms?

How soon after conceiving can you start to have pregnancy symptoms? My period for October started on the 8th and ended on the 12th. My husband and I are trying to have a child. Two days ago I started getting sick to my stomach, feeling dizzy, little headaches, TIRED (I can barely keep my eyes open), one minute I’m hungry and then the next minute I won’t have the desire to eat and when I do eat my food just taste a little different to me.

Are these early signs of pregnancy?

When To Know Pregnant – Do You Know the 10 Pregnancy Signs?

When To Know Pregnant

Very early signs of pregnancy – are there 10 pregnancy signs? Yes, there are signs the present indicate particularly the beginning of who you are pregnant. Some women will be able to have one or two of them, others will hold multitude of of the truly early signs of pregnancy. When To Know Pregnant

Once you suffer conceived, it ought to take about a week for the fertilized egg to implant in the uterus. As implantation happens, it’s now potential to undergo one or more of the 10 pregnancy signs and embark on to understand you are pregnant. Around this time, hormone numbers begin to change, and the body reacts to these new hormone levels. Here are 10 pregnancy signs:

1. Light Spotting – if you have conceived, spotting can happen when implantation occurs before your menstrual period should begin. Pregnancy bleeding from implantation is pinkish or brownish and not heavy. A normal menstrual flow should begin light, become heavy, then taper off again before ending.

2. More Frequent Urination – urinating more often is one of the very early signs of pregnancy. Many women experience more frequent urination even before a missed period, usually from about 7-12 days after the temperature rise at ovulation. The changes in hormone levels produced by implantation of the embryo, especially the hormone “human chorionic gonadotropin” (hCG), cause more frequent urination.

3. Elevated Body Temperature – it’s normal to have an increase in body temperature at ovulation. Your basal body temperature staying elevated after ovulation is completed and remaining elevated through when your period should begin can be one of the very early signs of pregnancy. When To Know Pregnant

4. Missing a Menstrual Period – a missed period is one of the obvious 10 pregnancy signs. However, you can miss a period for other reasons including illness, stress, hormone imbalance and reactions to foods or medications. If your menstrual cycle normally occurs very regularly, missing a period can be a sign.

5. Fatigue – lack of energy as one of the very early signs of pregnancy may be hard to distinguish from other kinds of exhaustion. Feeling tired is related to the change in hormones in the body, which usually disappears as the body adjusts to the new hormone levels.

6. Cramping – the uterus can contract often and regularly. Moving around, exercise and orgasm all can trigger uterine cramping in early pregnancy.

7. Nausea – morning sickness is the name given to feeling nauseated when pregnant. Of the 10 pregnancy signs, only about half of pregnant women experience nausea, and feeling nauseated can happen any time of the day or night.

8. Tender Nipples and Breasts – one of the very early signs of pregnancy is a feeling of tenderness in the breasts and nipples. The good news is that these feelings of tenderness go away as the body becomes accustomed to the new hormone levels.

9. Darker Areolas – the area around the nipples becomes darker as early as one week after conception. The bumps on the areolas may look more prominent.

10. Constipation – you may notice a change in your bowels in early pregnancy. The intestines may relax and function less due to changing hormones and be one of the 10 pregnancy signs. Start raising a family! Get Pregnant Today by getting When To Know Pregnant ebook now!

Vaginal Blood loss In the course of Pregnancy: What’s Typical, What’s Not

Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

Q. What are some reasons of standard vaginal blood loss while in being pregnant?

 

A. You can find a few regular causes for vaginal blood loss.

 

* Implantation of the fertilized egg leads to slight recognizing in the minority of woman. If it occurs, it is going to be near the time you’d usually have your interval. This blood loss must be quite mild spotting and last for any day or two. “Spotting: very gentle blood loss related to the conclusion of your period”

 

* Cervix is more susceptible to bleed as blood flow is obviously greater in the course of being pregnant. That said, anything that may well touch or irritate the cervix can cause bleeding. Sex, gynecological exam, pap smear, bodily function, exercise. This blood loss should only spot and final for the day or two.

 

* If you ever notice recognizing right after exercising or doing work, ease off a little and see if the spotting stops. Maintain a log of the workouts and spotting frequency. This way you know how considerably you are able to work or exercise.

 

If you’re recognizing for greater than two nights, or see an increase inside the amount, or do not see a cause in the bleeding, make contact with your health service provider.

 

At around 37 weeks, a mucous plug may possibly appear out tinged with blood. This really is an beginning sign of labor.

 

Q. What are some reasons of irregular vaginal blood loss throughout being pregnant?

 

A. Because the cervix is extra engorged, STDs or any kind of vaginal contamination may trigger blood loss. Infections irritate the cervix producing blood loss or recognizing for in excess of a time or two. Bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, Chlamydia, Herpes are some frequent infections that may well lead to prolonged blood loss. See your health company. They may do a pap or wet mount slide prep to check if an disease is existing and treat accordingly.

 

Spontaneous abortion is really a trigger of abnormal blood loss. Of the 10% to 25% of women who report recognizing throughout the 1st trimester, 20% to 50% of those will spontaneously abort. If you can not pin-point a result in from the spotting or it progresses, see your quality of life service provider.

 

Pain with recognizing could reveal an ectopic being pregnant or early on indications of miscarriage. Pain and spotting is not regular. An ectopic pregnancy should be terminated for that womans safety. Ultrasound can confirm or guideline out an ectopic being pregnant. This occurs in the earliest trimester and takes place in 1.5% of all pregnancies.

 

Abnormal blood loss in being pregnant may well indicate placenta issues eg. placenta previa during any trimester which presents as painless bleeding or premature labor. Again, if blood loss is over spotting, growing in amount or duration, call up your quality of life issuer.

 

Q. What exactly is too a lot blood loss?

 

A. Duration or quantity are the keys right here. If spotting is happening for in excess of two times and also you are not able to pin-point a normal induce, contact your health supplier.

 

If bleeding is increasing over and above recognizing, it is needed to get in touch with your health service provider. There doesn’t have to become discomfort associated. If painless blood loss is present, do get in touch with your supplier.

 

If you believe its also significantly bleeding and also you want reassurance, contact. Rest is very critical for the wholesome mom and infant. One cannot loosen up when unsure. Dont be tough. Call up. Your quality of life supplier is there to assist and educate you throughout this awesome time.
