Step 1. Beware of nausea

From the beginning, many pregnant women have morning sickness.

Step 2. See if she behaves differently than usual (hormonal fluctuations), if she is nervous, or if she gets agitated easily

Remember, however, that every woman is different and reacts differently, so this may not mean much.

Step 3. Look for changes in the way you dress

Have you started wearing loose clothing or clothes that might hide a baby bump?

Step 4. Check to see if she is putting on weight on her stomach

If she is pregnant, the extra weight will not feel like fat, but rather a solid bulge (at first, of course, very small).

Step 5. Watch for small changes in her sense of smell

Pregnant women have a sharper sense of smell. It is easy for you to ask: "Do you feel it too?". Often this phenomenon is accompanied by nausea.

Step 6. Observe your eating habits

Most pregnant women don't eat things that smell bad because it makes them nauseous. Not all women have cravings, but they often have so-called rejection of certain foods. The most common is for meat.

Advice

  • Most women will not reveal their pregnancy to you until at least the second trimester (after about 13 weeks) because they fear they will have a miscarriage. At that time she may already have a little belly.
  • Don't ask her if she's pregnant just because she's gained some weight.
  • Most people cannot recognize a pregnancy until they are told. The symptoms listed above can mean several things, and not all pregnant women have these symptoms.
  • Frequent use of the bathroom does not necessarily indicate pregnancy (unless she goes because she is nauseous). Women do not usually feel the need to urinate frequently until the latter stages of pregnancy.

Warnings

  • Don't ask her if she's pregnant until you're 100% sure! She may just be putting on weight or wearing clothes that make her look fat. Asking a woman if she is pregnant can seriously damage her self-esteem. He may go on a diet without needing to, plus asking this question will certainly not improve your relationship!
  • Even if you suspect she is pregnant, act as if she is not. Pretend you don't know and be surprised when he tells you.
  • Nausea isn't just in the morning. Pregnant women can feel nauseous at any time of the day.
