A late period. Feeling nauseous and tired. Really tender breasts.
Am I Pregnant?
Do these symptoms sound familiar? It might mean you are pregnant. However, these can also be signs of other medical conditions. Issues like stress, hormonal changes, diet, and weight gain or loss, can also be reasons to miss a period or feel tired and sick to your stomach.
It is even possible you are experiencing a miscarriage. Unfortunately, miscarriages are relatively common. Experts suggest that as many as 1 in 4 known pregnancies ends in a miscarriage. You can continue feeling pregnancy symptoms even after a miscarriage for a few days or even weeks.
Common Pregnancy Symptoms
Common signs of early pregnancy may include:
- missed period
- nausea
- vomiting
- breast tenderness
- frequent urination
- fatigue
If you have been sexually active, are experiencing any of these symptoms, and wondering if you are pregnant, visit Hope First.
Free Pregnancy Testing
There is no reason to wonder any longer. We offer free pregnancy testing. Even if you have taken an at-home test, you will still want to take a medical-grade pregnancy test at Hope First. Often, women take their over-the-counter tests too early or they do not read the instructions completely. To get the most accurate test result possible, let us assist you. Our pregnancy tests are free and completely confidential.
Next Steps
If you receive a positive result on your pregnancy test, your next step is a free limited ultrasound. An ultrasound will confirm the viability of your pregnancy (there is a detectable heartbeat), how far along you are (gestational age), and where your pregnancy is located. Talk with us about scheduling your limited ultrasound.
If you need a safe place where you can freely talk, we are here for you. We promise to listen and ask questions about your current life situation and your hopes for the future. Together, we can go over your options. Contact us to schedule an appointment or stop by. We care about you and your future!
