10 COMMON SIGNS OF EARLY PREGNANCY
1. A missed period
For most women, a missed period is often the first sign they’ve entered the early stages of pregnancy. If a week or more has passed without the start of your period, especially if your cycle is regular, you may be pregnant.
2. Frequent urination
Once you conceive, the amount of blood in your body will increase. As your kidneys work to process the increased amount of liquid, you’ll experience a more frequent need to urinate.
3. Swollen or tender breasts
Early pregnancy hormones may cause increased sensitivity and soreness in breasts. This discomfort is not permanent and usually disappears a few weeks into pregnancy once your body has adjusted to being pregnant.
4. Fatigue
Progesterone levels rise once you become pregnant, which often leads to sleepiness and increased fatigue.
5. Nausea, with or without vomiting
A rise in hormone levels can cause nausea in the early stages of pregnancy. Though pregnancy nausea is often called “morning sickness,” it can occur any time of day.
6. Light spotting and cramping
Light spotting, also known as implantation bleeding, can occur when the fertilized egg attaches to the uterine lining. This can happen about 10 to 14 days after conception, around the same time that you are supposed to have your period. Light spotting may also be accompanied by cramping, which can feel similar to menstrual cramps.
7. Bloating
Heightened hormones in the body can cause you to feel bloated, similar to how you may feel at the beginning of your period.
8. Mood swings
Once your hormone levels begin to rise, you may find yourself more emotional and subject to mood swings.
9. Constipation
The influx of progesterone experienced during pregnancy can slow down your digestive system, causing constipation.
10. Food aversions and sensitivity to smell
Sensitivity to certain smells is a common symptom for pregnant women. You may also find that your tastes have changed for certain types of food.
Any of the above signs can mean you’re pregnant, but there are women who conceive and experience none of them. Likewise, you can experience all ten and not be pregnant. The best way to confirm pregnancy is to schedule an appointment with a provider, preferably your gynecologist.
If you notice a few of the early pregnancy symptoms above and think you may be pregnant, wait one or two days after your missed period and take a pregnancy test. If the test is negative, wait a few more days and take another, just in case the first was a false negative. If the test is positive, schedule an appointment with your Doctor.

Meet the world dirtiest man
Amou Haji is an 87-year-old man and he hasn't taken a bath in 67 years. He resides in Dejgah which is a village in the Kermanshah province of Iran. He also looks like the Biblical Moses who fell down a chimney.
He is always covered in ash and dirt. He hasn't taken a bath for nearly seven decades because he is scared of water. He is of the belief that if he will bathe, he will fall ill.
What is even more unusual is that his diet consists of rotten meat of dead animals, especially porcupines. He also enjoys smoking but it is not tobacco he prefers. He likes to smoke animal feces out of a rusty pipe.
According to Tehran Times, Haji decided to live an isolated life after he went through some emotional setbacks in his youth.
He wears a war helmet not to fight off enemies but to keep him warm during winters.
He finds unusual places to live, in like a hole in the ground resembling a grave, or an open brick shack built by people who felt bad for him. He also drinks five litres of water every day from a large rust tin can and trims his hair by burning them over a fire.
