Early Signs of Pregnancy
The earliest sign of pregnancy is a missed menstrual period. Light bleeding or “spotting” during your pregnancy may be mistaken as your period. Sometimes this may occur during the time when your period is due. Implantation bleeding is also another sign of pregnancy and must be assessed carefully to avoid confusion whether this is menstrual blood or not.
