A pregnancy is one of the most exciting events-not only in a woman's life, but in the life of her husband as well. Many people have questions about the various stages and aspects of being pregnant. Yet, perhaps one of the most important pregnancy questions is the one that starts it all-namely "Am I pregnant?" After that, most people follow up with the big gender question: "Is it a boy or a girl?" Many mothers-to-be claim that they can sense the answers to these pregnancy questions before modern technology is able to provide the answers, based on a combination of signs and instinct.

Pregnancy Question Number One-Am I Pregnant?

A pregnancy test can provide a more concrete answer to this pregnancy question, and later on, your doctor will be able to do the same. So why make an assumption based on signs and feelings? A pregnancy test typically can be used until several days after conception, and if you aren't expecting to be pregnant, you might not think to use one. Based on these signs, you might be able to determine that you're pregnant.

The first sign that you are pregnant is a missed period. A missed period could occur for a variety of reasons; however, the most common one is pregnancy. Morning sickness, which affects approximately 50% of women during their pregnancy, is another sign. Many women don't think to take a pregnancy test or call their doctor until they begin experiencing the symptoms of morning sickness, which include nausea and vomiting.

There are several other signs that should alert you to a possible pregnancy. These signs and symptoms include: headaches, breast soreness, fatigue, vaginal discharge, bloating, and increased awareness of odor and foods.

Pregnancy Question Number Two-Boy Or Girl?

It is a personal decision whether or not you find out if your child is a boy or a girl. Some parents-to-be like to know ahead of time, and others like to be surprised. However, even if you don't ask your doctor what the sonogram says, many mothers claim that they can tell what the gender of their child will be based on wives' tales and instinct.

It is commonly said that you can determine the gender of your child based on how you are carrying the baby. If you are carrying the baby high on your stomach, wives' tales claim that it must be a girl. If you're carrying low, then it must be a boy. Other people believe that if you get acne during your pregnancy, then you will have a girl.

Could cravings be caused by the gender of the baby? Some people think so. It has been said that if you crave sweets, the baby will be a girl, while if you crave sour things, then the baby will be a boy.

Fact Or Fiction?

Do wives' tales and signs really have the ability to answer your pregnancy questions? Some symptoms are extremely accurate signs of a pregnancy, such as a missed period. Wives' tales used to determine the sex of the baby? They're just a lot of fun to listen to!
