Well I may be pregnant but not sure. I'm getting a lot of the symptoms but I know the symptoms of pregnancy could be something else. I'm going to buy a test as soon as I get a chance. I was just wondering about how often the symptoms show up. For example, nausea I feel it a lot throughout the day and then maybe not as much the next day. The same goes for back pains, mood swings and such. If you're pregnant does this happen?

Yes but they can be symptoms of other things too. If you think you might be pregnant, take a pregnancy test and/or go see your doctor.

To answer your question specifically, yes some women get nauseous when they're pregnant, I'm not sure about backaches in early pregnancy.

Sorry I think my post is kind of messing up the question. I'm aware of the fact that pregnancy symptoms can be the symptoms of something else, that was in my first post. I'm also aware that pegnant women get nauseous. I was trying to say like if a girl is pregnant and experiencing the symptoms does she feel them all the time throughout the day, everyday? Say that I'm pregnant and have morning sickness all day. But not so much the next day. Or I'm feeling cramps and I don't feel them at all the next day. Is that normal?

It's completely normal, early on in a woman's pregnancy, to feel certain symptoms one day and then not so much the next.

Thanks so much! If I am this is happening and I might be showing because I was thinner than this and my stomach is getting hard(is that a sign too?), or I'm just getting fat sweatdrop . I just want to hurry and get a test but I don't know if I should wait until next month. I'm supposed to get a perm tomorrow, should I cancel it until I find out? I'm also supposed to get a vaccine sometime next month. I'm so scared of something happening.

Your stomach getting hard or a visible difference in weight/look is NOT a symptom of pregnancy very early on. If you are very far along, it's possible, but I doubt it.

Now, nausea is different for everyone. Some women only get it in the morning, some women get it throughout the day, some women get it very early in the pregnancy and then never again, some women get it right up until delivery, some never get it at all. And, of course, it will vary between pregnancies and even within a single pregnancy. It is perfectly normal to feel very nauseous some days and not other days.

I don't really know what's involved in a perm, so I can't really say anything about that. But when in doubt, asks. Just tell the hairdresser that you suspect you may be pregnant and ask if that's ok. Same goes for your vaccines.

heres some i found

Implantation Bleeding:
Implantation bleeding can be one of the earliest pregnancy symptoms. About 6-12 days after conception, the embryo implants itself into the uterine wall. Some women will experience spotting as well as some cramping.

Other Explanations: Actual menstruation, altered menstruation, changes in birth control pill, infection, or abrasion from intercourse.

Delay/Difference in Menstruation:
A delayed or missed menstruation is the most common pregnancy symptom leading a woman to test for pregnancy. When you become pregnant, your next period should be missed. Many women can bleed while they are pregnant, but typically the bleeding will be shorter or lighter than a normal period. This symptom is commonly explained by other reasons. If you have been sexually active and have missed a period, it is recommended that you take a test: Find a Free Testing Center or Order my pregnancy test

Other Explanations: Excessive weight gain/loss, fatigue, hormonal problems, tension, stress, ceasing to take the birth control pill, or breast-feeding.

Swollen/Tender Breasts:
Swollen or tender breasts is a pregnancy symptom which may begin as early as 1-2 weeks after conception. Women may notice changes in their breasts; they may be tender to the touch, sore, or swollen.

Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance, birth control pills, impending menstruation (PMS) can also cause your breasts to be swollen or tender.

Fatigue/Tiredness:
Feeling fatigued or more tired is a pregnancy symptom which can also start as early as the first week after conception.

Other Explanations: Stress, exhaustion, depression, common cold or flu, or other illnesses can also leave you feeling tired or fatigued.

Nausea/Morning Sickness:
This well-known pregnancy symptom will often show up between 2-8 weeks after conception. Some women are fortunate to not deal with morning sickness at all, while others will feel nauseous throughout most of their pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Food poisoning, stress, or other stomach disorders can also cause you to feel queasy.

Backaches:
Lower backaches may be a symptom that occurs early in pregnancy; however, it is common to experience a dull backache throughout an entire pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Impending menstruation, stress, other back problems, and physical or mental strains.

Headaches:
The sudden rise of hormones in your body can cause you to have headaches early in pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Dehydration, caffeine withdrawal, impending menstruation, eye strain, or other ailments can be the source of frequent or chronic headaches.

Frequent Urination:
Around 6-8 weeks after conception, you may find yourself making a few extra trips to the bathroom.

Other Explanations: Urinary tract infection, diabetes, increasing liquid intake, or taking excessive diuretics.

Darkening of Areolas:
If you are pregnant, the skin around your nipples may get darker.

Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance unrelated to pregnancy or may be a leftover effect from a previous pregnancy.

Food Cravings:
While you may not have a strong desire to eat pickles and ice cream, many women will feel cravings for certain foods when they are pregnant. This can last throughout your entire pregnancy.
