Am I really pregnant?
I think I'm pregnant but I'm not sure. What do I do now? It’s alright to be scared, it’s OK to cry. This can be a very confusing time and there are probably many questions running through your mind at this very moment. The important thing to remember is that help is out there and you’re not alone.
Signs & Symptoms of Pregnancy
Pregnancy symptoms can vary widely from woman to woman, and even from one pregnancy to the next.
One of the most common early signs is a delayed or missed period after unprotected sex. Other early symptoms may include headaches, tender breasts, nausea, and lower backaches.
Take this Pregnancy Quiz
To be sure, it’s best to get a pregnancy test kit from a pharmacy and take the test to find out if you are pregnant. If it is positive, do visit a doctor for an ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy’s viability with an ultrasound scan as soon as possible.
