Are Feeling Nauseous And Stomach Cramping Early Signs Of Pregnancy?
So this whole week I been feeling nauseous after every meal and when I wake up, there's also a headache and stomach cramping in my stomach that I've never felt before. I know my period is suppose to come next week but all these symptoms I don't ever get with my period at least not since 2007. My husband and I did have sex on may 5th and this last week has been hard on me feeling nauseous, head hurts, the cramping, dizzy in the morning, and tired all the time. Could that be early signs of me being pregnant?

Hallow Dear,
The first cardinal symptom of the pregnancy is missing a period; all other cardinal symptoms like nausea & vomiting, frequent urination and breast symptoms appear about 10 days later.
You have not missed your period as yet. So nausea with stomach cramping appears to be due to gastrointestinal disturbance. Increased stomach acidity also can cause headache. Nausea does cause dizziness and tiredness. You may take some proton pump inhibitor like Pantoprazole and take soda. This should give you relief; if not, please report to your physician.
Wait for your menses to appear. If they are missed, perform pregnancy test on overnight morning first urine sample about a week after missed period. This will reveal the pregnancy status.
I hope this helps you.
