If you’ve missed a period and are wondering whether you’re pregnant, take a deep breath. Before making any decisions, you must confirm a potential pregnancy.

Women’s Pregnancy Center offers confidential, lab-quality pregnancy tests. You can move forward with an answer you trust, and we’ll be with you every step of the way.

What Are the Main Pregnancy Symptoms?

Pregnancy symptoms vary for every woman, and you may not experience any. What’s more, certain pregnancy symptoms, like a missed period or fatigue, actually indicate other medical conditions, hormonal changes, and more.

A pregnancy test and an obstetrical ultrasound (we provide limited obstetrical ultrasounds at no cost) are essential to confirm your pregnancy.

But if you do have symptoms, here are the most common ones:

1. Missed Period

This symptom is often the first sign you may be pregnant. But it may not be a good indication of pregnancy if you usually have irregular periods.

2. Frequent Urination

Are you using the bathroom more often than usual? During pregnancy, your kidneys process extra fluid in your bladder.

3. Nausea (With or Without Vomiting)

“Morning sickness” can actually happen at any time, and it is a common pregnancy symptom for many women. Pregnancy hormones may cause it. With time, the nausea and vomiting should go away.

4. Fatigue

Are you feeling exhausted and needing to nap more frequently? You’re not alone. Many women feel tired during their first trimester, likely due to an increased hormone progesterone.

5. Tender, Sore Breasts

Do your breasts feel uncomfortable or swollen? Hormonal changes cause this temporary symptom during early pregnancy.

6. Moodiness

Are you experiencing sudden mood swings or feeling more emotional? Moodiness is common during pregnancy. Speaking to a healthcare professional is crucial if you find these changes bothersome.

7. Food Aversions

Some foods you once enjoyed may now seem disgusting. Your sense of smell has changed. Hormonal changes can cause you to be more sensitive to certain smells and tastes. This symptom will go away over time.

We’ll Help You Move Forward

Taking an at-home pregnancy test isn’t enough for you to move forward. Confirm your pregnancy with a pregnancy test and ultrasound at Women’s Pregnancy Center.

We also provide no-cost, confidential options counseling so you can make an empowered decision.
