Sign #3: Erratic Bathroom Schedule
If you’re in the first stage of pregnancy, you’ll notice changes to your bathroom routine. After week 6, you’ll start urinating even more frequently than you usually would. This is common in pregnant women, but can also be a symptom for other conditions such as infections and diabetes.
When you’re pregnant, there are higher levels of progesterone in your system. Even though this is normal, when paired with estrogen it can lead to an undesired symptom: constipation. Whether this is your case or not, remember to hydrate yourself, exercise, and consume foods that are high in fiber. You should speak with a medical professional if the symptoms are too severe.
