If you're worried about being pregnant, it's natural to feel overwhelmed with questions and emotions. Facing an unplanned pregnancy can be challenging, but you're not alone. The first step to finding clarity and moving forward is determining if you're pregnant.
While pregnancy testing and an ultrasound are the only definitive ways to know, there are also early symptoms that may offer clues. We're here to help you take the next step with support and understanding.
Early Symptoms Of Pregnancy
During pregnancy, your body releases a unique combination of hormones that stop menstruation and prepare to sustain a pregnancy. While a missed period is often the first noticeable sign, these early pregnancy hormones can cause other symptoms, including:
Tender, swollen breasts
Nausea, with or without vomiting
Increased urination
Fatigue
Food aversions or cravings
Moodiness
Bloating
Light spotting
Cramping
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, a pregnancy test is essential. Our nurses are available to help with this. Keep in mind that other health conditions or even an impending period can mimic these symptoms.
It’s also important to remember that some women don’t experience any early pregnancy symptoms. Even if you’re not noticing other signs, a missed period still calls for a pregnancy test to determine what’s happening.
