For me, the first month was all about crying over silly TV commercials and feeling like my bra had shrunk overnight. Breast soreness and extreme mood swings are very real, trust me. It's just the hormones starting their grand festival!
Beta, the first thing is you will miss your date. Your body might also feel very heavy, and you will feel sleepy all the time like you have no energy. Drink warm milk, rest well, and check with a kit at home.
Don't stress yourself out looking up every little symptom. It's totally normal to feel a bit anxious, but early signs are usually just mild cramping, feeling tired, and a missed cycle. Take a deep breath, do a test at home, and we will take it from there.
In the first month, rising progesterone levels cause extreme fatigue, frequent urination, and mild cramping. My gynaecologist explained that frequent trips to the washroom happen because of increased blood flow. She advised me to take a Beta-hCG blood test for absolute confirmation.
Haan, early morning nausea and feeling bloated are super common in the first few weeks, na. Sometimes you even get a metallic taste in your mouth. Just do a home test after missing your period to be absolutely sure, simple.
My wife suddenly started hating the smell of garlic and tadka in the first month, which was shocking for a big foodie like her. She also craved very sour things out of nowhere. A sudden change in your taste buds is a classic early sign!

When I was in my first month, I didn't have any morning sickness at all, just very sore breasts and mild lower back pain that felt like my period was coming. Everyone's body reacts differently, so my experience might not match yours.
My mother told my wife to expect dizziness and sensitivity to strong smells in the first month, which turned out to be quite true. While family wisdom is great, we made sure to confirm with our doctor and start the recommended folic acid supplements right away.
