Know the pregnancy symptoms
Once you are
pregnant, you will start noticing some signs. Although not every woman
experiences these symptoms, sometimes it doesn’t mean you are pregnant. You
could be having false pregnancy symptoms. Some signs of pregnancy you should
expect, include the following:
· Missed period: Your period might be the first
thing that will help you to know you are pregnant. But missing a period does
not mean you are pregnant. Some lifestyle changes can cause you to miss the
period. But this can be easy if you track your period. You may confirm with
your doctor if you are pregnant before concluding.
· Your last sexual intercourse: When did you last have sex? You
must have had sexual intercourse for you to get pregnant. Think about the last
time you had sex and were not on birth control. If you did not use family
planning methods, then you have high chances of being pregnant.
· Changes in your breast:
You will notice changes in your breasts like an increase in size.
Hormones levels change in the body once you become pregnant and this can result
in swelling and tenderness of your breasts.
· Fatigue: You are carrying another human, and
this can cause you to feel tired. You may find it difficult working as you are
used to. This can be as a result of progesterone hormone increase, and this can
result in drowsiness.
Get a pregnancy test
Now, this is
one of the most excellent ways to know if you are pregnant or not. Pregnancy
tests are accurate whether they are done at home or the hospital. You may
purchase the test kits at your nearest drug store. Some tests are correct when
performed a few before the day of your period (before missing it). Ensure to
carry out the pregnancy test immediately you wake up to ensure you get accurate
results. You can decide if you will repeat the test to confirm your result or
not.
A home
pregnancy test is the not the only test you can perform to know if you are
pregnant. You can go to the hospital and have a doctor check you or have a free online pregnancy test. If you find you are pregnant after taking all these steps,
it is time to prepare to welcome your baby.
Conclusion
Since you
know you are expectant, it is time to start attending the clinic. It will help
you to keep the baby in check. The doctor will also be able to tell if you are
in good health to have the baby or not.
