What are the absolute earliest signs of pregnancy?

A missed period

It will vary from person to person, but some women will have very similar symptoms to how they might feel soon before a period starts. This can make it difficult to determine whether it may be due to pregnancy or just a period due to arrive.

You might have some slight cramping or backache... feeling like your period is about to start soon. Some women will experience breast soreness, in particular nipple soreness. Possible increase in urination... which surprises many because it has nothing to do with size of baby or uterus at this stage but with changes in hormones in the beginning. Many women will be more tired than usual.

For the majority, the most noticeable sign will be a period that doesn't show up. Often other signs do not show up for awhile or they are not recognized as being due to a possible pregnancy.

If you are really wanting to be pregnant, or really hoping not to be pregnant, it is very easy to be watching for possible signs, so things that would not normally draw your attention, you become much more aware of and wonder about.

If you're not ready for a child then stop having sex. Plain and simple.. not to be rude but it is a huge responsibility. There are no "absolute" signs of early pregnancy. Every pregnancy is different

Morning sickness, and the way I found out was... this might sound crazy and it might not work for all, but I drank a glass of orange juice... I could not hold it down and that's how I knew I was pregnant, maybe its worth a try for you. The acid will upset your stomach

Get a blood test instead of waiting for "signs". Blood test will usually tell you your pregnant a lot earlier than a urine test.

P.S. If you don't want to have a baby please use ANY method of contraception [i.e. an IUD, condoms, the pill, etc.] or even better be abstinent!
