Correct option is D
The signs and symptoms of pregnancy include:
·
Cessation of menstrual cycle (Option A): A missed period is one of the most common early signs of pregnancy.
·
Morning sickness (Option B): Nausea and vomiting, commonly referred to as
morning sickness, are typical in the early stages of pregnancy.
·
Increase in frequency of urination (Option C): Pregnant women often experience more frequent urination due to hormonal changes and pressure from the growing uterus on the bladder.
All of the above are common signs and symptoms of pregnancy, so
"More than one of the above" is the correct answer.
Information Booster: Pregnancy causes several physical changes in a woman’s body due to the influence of hormones and the growing fetus.
Cessation of the menstrual cycle is often the first noticeable sign.
Morning sickness, which typically occurs in the first trimester, is caused by increased levels of hormones like
hCG. Increased frequency of urination happens because of hormonal shifts and the pressure of the expanding uterus on the bladder. These are among the early signs that confirm pregnancy.
