What are the symptoms of pregnancy?

I have a friend who has been trying to get pregnant. She is only 16 and she dont what her parents to know. So far she has had some changes in her body, a lot really, but I dont want her to get her hopes up. I mean her body could be playing tricks on her. So what signs should you look for between the 1st and 4th week?

Why on earth would your 16 year old "friend" be actively TRYING to get pregnant? Does this "friend" have a decent job with enough income to support an infant (which can get VERY expensive at times)? Does she even have her high school diploma?? Does she have a safe environment to raise the child in? Or will she be living with her parents and getting all sorts of government aid so the rest of the hard-working world can pay for this baby? I'm sorry but this is by far the STUPIDEST question I have ever heard. Yes, I'm a young mom at the age of 19. And I LOVE my 4 month old daughter with all of my heart but it has been hard. I don't know WHY a 16 year old would do this to herself purposely when there is so much out there that she will never experience once you have a child. Unless she's going to be one of those uninvolved mothers who leaves her child with other people to go live her own life as if nothing happens. And just in case you were trying to do so, having a baby by a man does NOT guarantee that he's going to love you forever. Baby doesn't always make three. So tell your "friend" to GROW UP... literally.
