| Early Pregnancy Symptoms
The onset and degree of pregnancy symptoms will vary within women. Many women experience them within days of conception, others take a few weeks before pregnancy symptoms kick in and a lucky few feel no discomfort at all. The early pregnancy symptoms listed on this page generally can be felt once implantation occurs (8 - 10 days from ovulation) and will lessen after the first trimester.
It is frustrating to realize that many pregnancy symptoms are very similar to those that occur right before menstruating. However, combined with high temperatures and a longer luteal phase - they are key indications that you have achieved pregnancy success!

Postpartum Smoking Relapse Linked To Weight Worries
Two-thirds of women who quit smoking during pregnancy want to avoid cigarettes after delivery, but concern about weight may interfere, according to a new study.
A woman's feeling about her ability to control her weight affected her motivation to smoke, said lead author Michele Levine, Ph.D., at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. This association went above and beyond factors including a woman's level of dependence on nicotine, whether she had a partner who smoked and whether she planned to breastfeed her baby.
Levine and her colleagues conducted the study to understand why so many women resume prior smoking habits after pregnancy. Levine said that although there's a lot of research on helping women to quit during pregnancy, something happens after the baby is born that leads women to go back to smoking.
