Early Pregnancy Signs & Symptoms

While each pregnancy and woman is different, here are some common thoughts you might be thinking to yourself.1

 

  • Have I missed my period?
  • I feel like throwing up.
  • My breasts feel tender.
  • I am getting up to pee more than usual.
  • I feel a little wiped out. 
  • Why am I feeling so moody?

 

If you’re reading this, it’s likely you’ve noticed some signals from your body that have your brain asking, “Am I pregnant?”

 

It is also possible to still be pregnant even if you think you’ve had your period. On some occasions, you may experience “implantation bleeding,”2 which can result in light spotting but is not itself a period.

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms or simply had sex recently without birth control, we have helped thousands of women facing the same questions. 

 

Pregnancy Test

The first step in determining if you are pregnant is to take a lab-grade pregnancy test, which is typically over 99% accurate in identifying hormone levels consistent with pregnancy. 

 

As a non-profit organization, we offer free, confidential pregnancy tests. Those who qualify may also receive a non-diagnostic ultrasound at the following appointment to verify the gestational age of their pregnancy.

 

Ultrasound

An ultrasound not only confirms pregnancy but also assesses the fetus's viability to ensure that the pregnancy has not miscarried and is not ectopic. Additionally, sonographers can measure the fetus to determine the approximate date of conception.
