Early in your first trimester, perhaps as early as eight weeks, you may feel dizzy and nauseous, because of low blood pressure. This happens because the pregnancy hormone progesterone relaxes the walls of your blood vessels, causing your blood pressure to fall (Bothamley and Boyle 2009). In the second and third trimesters, your growing uterus (womb) tends to put pressure on your blood vessels. This can also make you feel dizzy.
Nausea can be another early indicator of pregnancy. The majority of pregnant women do not complain of morning sickness until the 6th week of pregnancy, 2 weeks after a missed period. But for some women, that nagging feeling can start as early as one week after conception, a full week before a missed period.Changes in hormones account for the queasiness that occurs.ecause the cramping occurs right around the time that menstrual cramps would begin, many pregnant women mistake early pregnancy cramping with the cramps that occur right before their period arrives. Some women hold off on a pregnancy test even after a missed period because of these cramps.
