Every pregnancy experience is as unique as every woman. Some women feel pregnancy symptoms immediately, while others don’t experience anything for months.

There are even women who do not know they’re pregnant until they arrive at the hospital, only to learn they are about to deliver a baby. Although uncommon, it’s important to recognize how a woman may not know she’s pregnant.

If you are wondering if you are pregnant,  come to Nova Women’s Health for no-cost pregnancy services.

What Are Early Pregnancy Symptoms?

For most women, these are some of the early pregnancy symptoms:

  • A missed period is the first sign women usually notice
  • Tender, swollen breasts
  • Nausea with or without vomiting
  • Increased urination
  • Fatigue

How Does a Woman Not Know She’s Pregnant?

Here are a few reasons why a woman could miss the fact that she’s pregnant:

  • Her periods are very irregular.
  • She doesn’t have typical pregnancy symptoms, or she does not know what they are.
  • She has pregnancy symptoms, but attributes them to some other health problem or simply dismisses them.
  • She got a false-negative pregnancy test. A false-negative result means the test indicates she is not pregnant when she actually is. This result could be because she took a home pregnancy test incorrectly, the test had expired, or she took the wrong type of test.

How to Find Out if You’re Pregnant

Start by taking a urine pregnancy test. You can either purchase a home test at your local pharmacy or drug store or come to Nova Women’s Health for no-cost, confidential pregnancy testing.

If you purchase a home test, follow these steps carefully:

  • Check the expiration date.
  • Wait until the first day after your missed period to take the test. The longer you wait, the more accurate the results.
  • Test in the morning when your urine is the most concentrated.
  • Check the results after the recommended amount of time.
  • Retest in 3 to 5 days to ensure you get the same result.
