Are you wondering if you are pregnant? If you’ve recently had unprotected (or even protected) sex and your period is late, you may be pregnant. A late period is usually one of the first signs of pregnancy, but your monthly cycle can change for many reasons.
What Are the Early Signs of Pregnancy?
A missed period is at the top of the list, but there are other signs. Are you experiencing any of these?
- Tender, swollen breasts
- Nausea, with or without vomiting
- Increased urination
- Fatique
- Moodiness
- Bloating
- Light Spotting
- Cramping
- Food aversions
Am I Really Pregnant?
Health issues other than pregnancy can cause many of these symptoms. For instance, nausea could mean you have the flu. A urinary tract infection could cause increased urination. You can miss a period due to a hormonal imbalance, increased athletic activity, or stress.
Some women notice every sign of pregnancy from the beginning, while others don’t feel any symptoms for weeks or even months. Come to Black Hills Pregnancy Center for pregnancy confirmation.
No Cost, Confidential Pregnancy Services
Your first step is to take a pregnancy test. We offer no-cost pregnancy testing. Whether it’s your first test or you need to retest, we are here to assist you. One of our nurses or a trained advocate administers the test so you can be confident you are getting accurate results.
However, a pregnancy test only indicates the possibility of pregnancy. A limited OB ultrasound confirms if your pregnancy is viable (growing) or if you have had a miscarriage.
Experts estimate more than one in four pregnancies end in a miscarriage. A limited ultrasound determines if your pregnancy is developing or if you have had a miscarriage.
What if I’m Scared?
We understand. An unplanned pregnancy stirs up all kinds of emotions. You worry about telling others and are afraid of what people might think. Remember, you are not alone. We are here with you.
Schedule an appointment at Black Hills Pregnancy Center for no-cost services to determine if you are pregnant.
