Patient's question:
I am 35 years old, married for three years, and still haven't been pregnant. I haven't been using any form of contraception either, and I'd like to go to the hospital for a check-up. Could you please tell me: When are the early symptoms of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
The most common sign of pregnancy is a missed period. If your menstrual cycle is usually regular and you have had sexual intercourse without using contraception, you should consider early pregnancy if your period is delayed by 10 days. If your menstrual cycle is irregular, you should also look for other signs. Women of childbearing age who have regular menstrual cycles should consider pregnancy if they miss a period. Finally, it is important to develop good daily habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical activity to enhance immunity.
