Many pregnant women report that they have not come across any of those prevalent pregnancy symptoms like fainting or dizziness or even bleeding.

A list of those symptoms is given below –

Jessica B asked:


I am 17 weeks pregnant and really like the half (low) panel maternity jeans but the elastic waist band keeps riding up to the top of the material and folding in on it’s self. How do I fix it and prevent it from happening when I wash them? It shows through my maternity shirts and looks funny. It’s too hot to wear the full belly maternity pants. Any suggestions? Any one else experience this? Thank you!!

In most cases, women experience certain signs and symptoms that alert them of their altered physiological state. Morning sickness is one of the most common telltale signs of pregnancy. Missing a period is another common sign. Some women also experience tiredness, tenderness of the breast, frequent urination and constipation as their pregnancy develops. That said, there are many cases where all common symptoms of pregnancy are absent and the mother to be is totally in the dark about her pregnancy. In some cases, women who are pregnant are probably the last to know of their pregnancy. This lack of awareness may put the mother and baby at risk.

Doctors highly recommend tests for pregnant women because it is advisable to be aware of your pregnancy. A pregnant woman has to start taking folic acid tablets, iron supplements, other vitamins and minerals and soon and her pregnancy is detected. This ensures the healthy growth and development of her fetus. Any delay in starting the intake of some of these vital prenatal supplements may affect the growth and development of the baby.

Another reason why tests for pregnant women are advised is because of the extra care the mother-to-be has to take of herself and her growing fetus, particularly in the first trimester. At this stage, it is easy for a woman to lose her baby if she is not careful. This is more so in case of complicated or first pregnancies. Becoming aware of your pregnancy helps you limit your physical activities and control your food habits so you can ensure the maximum security of your child.

Tests for pregnant women are quite effective in the results because most of them look for a particular hormone released in the urine or blood of pregnant women. The body begins production of this hormone only after the fertilization of the egg. The amount of hormone produced by the body increases dramatically with each passing day. So these tests for pregnant women are very accurate.

Many of the tests for pregnant women are generally quite easy to take, and do not require you to go to a hospital or a physician. Strips that test the urine for the presence of this hormone are available in pregnancy kits. These kits are private, convenient and easy to use. Many drug stores sell them over the counter. You simply have to hold the strip to a stream of urine and wait for the prescribed period of time. If a mark appears on the strip, however faint it is, the results are positive. However, to be doubly sure, it is important to repeat the test in two weeks’ time. A negative test immediately after missing a period does not necessarily mean that you are not pregnant.

As you can see, tests for pregnant women are quite convenient and easy. They can also save you a lot of heartache and trouble. They make it possible for you to expect the arrival of your baby and tune in to the changes in your body from the very first week of conception.

Reinventingmyself asked:


I’m trying to figure out if it’s better to have a plan with a maternity rider option or take a plan that already covers maternity. I found a plan that allows maternity rider to be added on later and the monthly premium is less per month. But regardless if it’s with a rider or no- the waiting period is still 12 months.

Which way is the best option? My husband and I aren’t planning for kids for another couple of years but want to be covered when the time is right.
