Early Pregnancy Signs & Symptoms

Every pregnancy is unique, but here are some common thoughts you might be having.

  • Have I missed my period?
  • I feel nauseous.
  • My breasts are sore.
  • I’m running to the bathroom more than usual.
  • I feel more exhausted than normal.
  • Why am I so moody?


If you're reading this, it's likely that your body is giving you signals that have you wondering, "Am I pregnant?"

It’s also possible to be pregnant even if you think you’ve had your period. In some cases, "implantation bleeding"2 can occur, which is light spotting and not a true period.

 

How to Find Out if You’re Pregnant

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, LifeCare Center offers 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.
