Pregnant?

Top 7 Signs You’re Pregnant

Are you wondering if you might be pregnant? At Crossroads Care Clinic, we’re here to help you recognize the signs of pregnancy and take the next steps with confidence. While symptoms can vary, here are some of the most common early signs of pregnancy.

Common Pregnancy Symptoms

Missed Period

One of the earliest and most reliable signs of pregnancy is a missed period, especially if your cycle is regular. However, stress, hormonal changes, or other factors can also cause a delayed period.

Nausea with/without Vomiting (Morning Sickness)

Many women experience nausea, with or without vomiting, as early as two weeks after conception. This can happen at any time of the day, and while it usually goes away after the first trimester, it can last longer for some women.

Breast Changes

Hormonal shifts may cause your breasts to feel tender, swollen, or heavier than usual. This is your body’s way of preparing for breastfeeding.

Fatigue

Feeling unusually tired is a common early symptom, as your body adjusts to the hormonal changes of pregnancy.

Frequent Urination

An increase in blood flow and hormonal changes can lead to more frequent trips to the bathroom.

Mood Swings

Fluctuating hormones can affect your emotions, leading to irritability or heightened sensitivity. If you feel like you’re riding an emotional roller coaster later, you might be pregnant.

Food Aversions or Cravings

Changes in your appetite or sudden aversions to certain foods may also be an early indicator of pregnancy.

When Should You Take a Pregnancy Test?

For the most accurate results, take a pregnancy test after you’ve missed your period. At-home tests are designed to detect the hormone hCG, which is produced during pregnancy, and levels are typically high enough to detect about 1-2 weeks after a missed period.
