Increased
vaginal discharge and food carvings can be labelled as symptoms of
pregnancy, but pain in lower abdomen definitely not.
The cardinal symptoms of pregnancy are:
1. Cessation of menstruation
2. Nausea and
vomiting with food carvings
3. Frequency of Urination
4. Breast Changes:
* Brownish discolouration of Nipples and
areola (Only during first pregnancy as this is irreversible change) and increase in the size of areola.
* Engorgement of breasts
* Secretions from the nipples
* Tenderness of breasts
However, they have to be supported by an Obstetrician's clinical examination.
For confirmation, 8-10 days after missing a period, pregnancy test on urine and/or
Ultrasonography may be carried out.
Only on a couple of symptoms, pregnancy is never diagnosed.
