Pregnant?

Think you’re pregnant? Realizing you may be experiencing an unplanned pregnancy can feel daunting and confusing. Though it may seem overwhelming right now, with the right support and direction, you can get the answers you need to move forward.

Common Pregnancy Symptoms

The most common sign of pregnancy is a missed period. It might be the first symptom that you experience. If your cycle is normally irregular, it can be hard to judge when you should expect your period. Other common symptoms of pregnancy include:

• Tender, swollen breasts
• Nausea with or without vomiting
• Peeing more often than usual
• Fatigue
• Mood swings
• Bloating
• Light spotting
• Cramping
• Constipation
• Food aversions

First, A Pregnancy Test

Pregnancy symptoms can be an unreliable predictor of pregnancy. Many pregnancy symptoms are similar to premenstrual symptoms, so it’s difficult to know if symptoms are from pregnancy or if you are about to begin your period. Signs like fatigue or nausea can also be symptoms of illness. 

It can be hard to wait for a good time to take a pregnancy test if you think you might be pregnant. Taking a pregnancy test too early can cause a false negative, so it’s important to wait at least a week after your missed period before testing.
