Top Signs of Pregnancy
A missed period is usually the most obvious sign of pregnancy, but you can have a change in your menstrual cycle for other reasons. Stress, a hormonal imbalance, increased exercise, and rapid weight gain or loss can all contribute to a missed period.
Here is a list of some of the top pregnancy symptoms. Are you experiencing any of these?
- Tender or swollen breasts
- Nausea with or without vomiting (also called “morning sickness”)
- Frequent urination
- Fatigue
- Food aversions or cravings
- Bloating
- Headaches and dizziness
- Mood swings
Every woman experiences her pregnancy differently. Some women feel every symptom immediately, while others don’t experience any for weeks or months.
What’s My First Step?
Begin with no-cost, lab-quality pregnancy testing from the LIFE Center. A nurse or peer advocate administers our tests so you can be confident you are getting accurate results. If your test is positive, we recommend having an ultrasound.
A missed period and a positive pregnancy test may not be enough information to determine if you are actually pregnant. An ultrasound is essential to get as much information as possible about your pregnancy.
If you are considering abortion, you should get an ultrasound first to learn more about your pregnancy. We offer a confidential ultrasound at no cost to you.
If I’m Pregnant, What Should I Do?
You have options, and it’s essential to consider all of them to determine what to do. Our staff understands the emotions you may feel with an unexpected pregnancy. Let’s discuss your options so you can choose the best step forward for your future.
