Early Pregnancy Symptoms
Think you’re showing pregnancy symptoms? Here are some common early pregnancy signs.
Showing Early Pregnancy Symptoms?
The most common signs of pregnancy is a missed period. Other typical early symptoms include:
- Tender, swollen breasts
- Need to urinate frequently
- Unexplained tiredness or sleepiness
- Light-headedness or dizziness
- Feeling nauseous, especially in the morning
- Sensitivity to the scent of certain foods
There are other reasons that you might miss a period besides pregnancy. Stress, weight gain or loss, and recent illness are just a few.
If your period is late, schedule a free, confidential, medical grade pregnancy test with us. After a positive in-clinic test, you may be offered a limited ultrasound to further confirm a viable pregnancy and how far along you are.
At Home Pregnancy Tests
If you take a pregnancy test at home, one thing to be aware of is that a test can be wrong, even if it’s positive.
The only sure way to confirm a pregnancy is with a limited ultrasound,which our medical team will be glad to provide.

If you take a pregnancy test too soon, it might read negative, but you could still be pregnant.

The best way to tell the difference between symptoms is to take a pregnancy test and have an ultrasound done.

Yes. An ectopic pregnancy still produces the hormone hCG, which is the hormone pregnancy tests use to detect pregnancy. However, a positive test will not specify the location and viability of the pregnancy (if it’s ectopic).
