This symptom checker is for general information only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice. If you are ever worried about a symptom, always contact your midwife, GP, or maternity unit. In an emergency, call 999.
Nuhah lets you track 10 common symptoms each week with a simple emoji checklist, so you can spot patterns and share with your midwife.
Start TrackingThe checker walks through the most common pregnancy symptoms stage by stage - nausea, fatigue, heartburn, back pain, swelling, and more. For each one it shows what is typical at that point in pregnancy, simple things that tend to help, and when a symptom deserves a call to your midwife. Select your stage and the symptom you are experiencing to get started.
Some symptoms should always be checked promptly rather than looked up: a severe headache with vision changes, heavy bleeding, sudden swelling of your face or hands, persistent abdominal pain, or your baby moving less than usual. If any of these happen, contact your midwife or maternity unit. And when in doubt, call anyway - no one will ever mind hearing from you.
For a deeper read on what each stage brings, see first trimester symptoms, the second trimester, and third trimester symptoms. If sickness is severe and persistent, read our guide to hyperemesis gravidarum, or follow everything week by week in the complete pregnancy guide.
The most common symptoms include nausea (especially in the first trimester), fatigue, frequent urination, breast tenderness, and back pain. Nuhah's symptom checker shows which symptoms are typical at each stage of pregnancy.
Contact your midwife or maternity unit if you experience severe headaches with vision changes, heavy bleeding, sudden swelling of face or hands, reduced baby movement, or persistent abdominal pain. When in doubt, always call.
Yes, nausea and vomiting affect up to 80% of pregnant people, usually between weeks 6 and 14. Despite the name, it can happen at any time of day. Severe persistent vomiting (hyperemesis gravidarum) needs medical attention.
Eating smaller, more frequent meals, avoiding spicy or fatty foods, not lying down straight after eating, and sleeping propped up can all help. Antacids like Gaviscon are safe in pregnancy - ask your pharmacist or midwife.
