Top Signs of Pregnancy
Not sure if you’re pregnant? Emotions are high as you navigate a possible unplanned pregnancy. Though the stakes seem high, it’s important to breathe and take one step at a time. You are not alone.
Many women have multiple symptoms of early pregnancy, while others simply have just a missed period. Besides a missed period, other common signs of pregnancy according to the Mayo Clinic include:
- Tender, swollen breasts
- Increased urination
- Fatigue
- Nausea with or without vomiting
- Moodiness
Lab-Quality Pregnancy Test
While home pregnancy tests you get at your local drugstore are normally very accurate, there is still a chance for false results. This could be due to taking the test incorrectly or at the wrong time.
According to the Mayo Clinic, the best time to take a pregnancy test is at least one week after your missed period for the most accurate results.

Do I Need an Ultrasound?
Absolutely! While this step is often overlooked in the pregnancy confirmation process, an ultrasound is necessary to know how far along you are. Ultrasounds also confirm if your pregnancy is viable (progressing) and confirm the location of your pregnancy (whether it is growing within the uterus or not).
Miscarriage and ectopic pregnancies are common, and an ultrasound is the only way to alert you to complications such as these. It’s vital not to skip this step of the process.
What Are My Choices?

You may feel pressure from a friend, family member, or your partner, but the decision is ultimately yours to make. Whichever option you choose will affect your future in some way.
