Am I pregnant?
If you haven't taken a pregnancy test yet, don't get too far ahead of yourself. You may feel some symptoms, but other factors can cause similar symptoms of pregnancy. Take a pregnancy test at home or come by Options.
Symptoms:
Some women experience many pregnancy symptoms, and others may experience only one or two. Common pregnancy indicators are:
-
A missed period
-
Nausea or vomiting
-
Breast tenderness and enlargement
-
Frequent urination
-
Fatigue
Following a positive pregnancy test, it is important to see a doctor. A urine pregnancy test will typically be positive after the first missed period and is considered adequate to confirm a pregnancy. However, if there is uncertainty about the diagnosis, a blood test may be required. An ultrasound is the best way to determine how far along a pregnancy is and confirm that the pregnancy is within the uterus.
At Options, a support worker can walk you through taking your pregnancy test, listen to your story and inform you of your pregnancy options.*
