Top Signs of Pregnancy
Discovering an unplanned pregnancy is a shock. You wonder how it could have possibly happened, and then you agonize about what you’re going to do. You don’t have to sort this out alone. We can help you.
Every woman experiences pregnancy differently. Some women have pregnancy symptoms from the very beginning. Others may not feel any for weeks or even months.
Look at the five most common signs of pregnancy determined by the Mayo Clinic. Are you experiencing any of these?
Early Pregnancy Symptoms:
- A missed period. You might be pregnant if your period is a week or more late. However, it’s hard to know if your periods are irregular.
- Tender, swollen breasts. Hormonal changes can make your breasts sensitive and sore.
- Nausea with or without vomiting. This is commonly known as “morning sickness,” but it can occur anytime throughout the day.
- Increased urination. You may visit the bathroom more because your kidneys are working overtime.
- Fatigue. A rapid rise in hormone levels could be the reason you’re sleepy.
Other symptoms can include:
- Moodiness
- Bloating
- Light spotting
- Cramping
- Food aversions
How Can I Know For Sure?
A pregnancy test is your first step. You can buy urine pregnancy tests over the counter in many stores. We offer free and confidential pregnancy testing. If the test is positive, it has detected hCG (a pregnancy hormone) in your urine.
You count the number of weeks of pregnancy from the first day of your last menstrual period.
The Test is Positive. Now What?
You have options, but first, we recommend an ultrasound. You need more information to protect your health and determine your options.
We can schedule you for a free limited obstetrical ultrasound if you receive a positive result with a Pregnancy Resources urine pregnancy test.
All of your test results are strictly confidential.
