Missed periods may due to many other hormonal changes and health issues.
Some of the symptoms of pregnancy are- frequent mild headache, back pain, constipation, fainting and dizziness
How can you confirm pregnancy?

Morning sickness and mood swing-
One of the most usual symptom during pregnancy is morning sickness. However you can experience it at any time of the day. Morning sickness or nausea occurs due to the hormonal changes in the body. You can also feel vomiting sometimes and feel less interest for eating your favorite food as well.
