Confirming your Pregnancy

How do I know that I am pregnant

Possible Signs
Some of the early signs of pregnancy are:

  • Absence of menstruation (periods)
  • Nausea, vomiting (morning sickness)
  • Fatigue
  • Frequent urination
  • Tender or enlarged breasts
Note that you could be pregnant even in the absence of any of the above symptoms.  On the other hand, you may experience some of the symptoms and still not be pregnant (could be due to other reasons). 

Definite Signs
The only way that a woman can be certain she is pregnant is to take one of the following tests:

  • A blood test or a urine test will help in determining the presence of the hCG (Human chorionic gonadotropin) hormone.
  • An ultrasound scan will also detect a pregnancy at 4-6 weeks.
  • Fetus can also be felt through abdominal palpations at around 3 months.


I have had no morning sickness, could I still be pregnant

Yes, because many would-be mothers go through the entire pregnancy without even a hint of morning sickness, tingling and tender breasts, or any other symptoms.  Note that 'morning sickness', or nausea, could occur anytime of the day.
 

When should I visit a gynecologist

As soon as you think you are pregnant, you should take a home pregnancy test to confirm your suspicions.  If your home pregnancy test results are positive, or if they are negative but you still think you are pregnant, you should go to your family doctor or gynecologist for confirmation. Since adequate prenatal care is crucial to both the mother and the foetus, the sooner you see your doctor and begin a medical regimen, the healthier your pregnancy will be. Your doctor will make arrangements to ensure you are properly cared for during the months leading up to your baby's birth.  (See also Antenatal Care)
