Are you pregnant? Check out the 18 pregnancy symptoms below to see if you have been experiencing any of them.

1. Nausea or morning sickness: Morning sickness is term to describe nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. This occurs in approximately 50% to 95% of all pregnant women as early as the first week of pregnancy. Morning sickness probably got it's name due to the fact that most of the nauseating symptoms start in the morning right after you get out of bed when your blood sugar levels are low. However, it may happen at any time of the day.

2. Headaches:  If you have never experienced regular headaches before pregnancy, be prepared for some throbbing pain in your head and neck during pregnancy. Changes in your body's hormonal patterns is the primary cause of headaches during pregnancy. Other conditions like lack of sleep, poor posture, stress, dehydration and low blood sugar levels may also worsen of cause headaches.

3. Dizziness and fainting spells: Due to the lowered blood pressure in your body during pregnancy, blood flow to the brain may cause dizziness and fainting spells in serious cases.

4. Mood swings: With your hormones raging, it is common for women to feel moody during their pregnancy. All women have to go through a period of adjustment to settle into their new roles as a pregnant women and that takes time.

5. Fatigue: If you feel tired and experience some or all of the symptoms mentioned in this article, you have a good chance of being pregnant. Hormonal changes are usually the main cause of fatigue followed by the additional weight you have to carry around.

6. Food cravings: Craving for food that you normally would not eat could be a sign that you are pregnant. Normally, women report cravings for salty and sweet food during pregnancy while others report a uncommon desire for spicy or starchy food.

7. Weight gain and bloating: The combination of your baby's growth and your increased food intake will cause you to put on weight and your clothes to fit tighter than usual. An inexplicable increase in size of your stomach is also a definitive sign that you may be pregnant.

8. Heartburn: Hormones created during pregnancy may relax the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), which opens the valve to allow stomach acids to flow up into the esophagus causing a burning sensation.

9. Lower back pain: As your baby grows in size, the additional weight pulls your spine to the front of your body and causes you to experience some back pain from time to time.

10. Constipation: Hormonal changes during pregnancy slows down the movement of food through your digestive system which results in constipation. This could be a sign of pregnancy if you do not experience constipation frequently.

11. Constant urination: Your growing baby in the uterus puts a lot of pressure on your bladder and you may find yourself visiting the toilet more frequently than usual.

12. High Basal Body Temperature (BBT): If your BTT stays in the high temperature range for 18 days or more, you have a good chance of being pregnant.

13. Cramping: As the uterus grows and stretches, it is normal to feel cramps that feel similar to menstrual cramps.


14. Spotting: Slight bleeding occurs when the fertilized egg begins to implant itself into the uterus any time from 3 to 6 days after fertilization. This usually happens outside of a normal menstruation cycle so it should not be confused with a normal period.

15. Darkening of the areolas: Your areolas could darken and increase in diameter during pregnancy. This is caused by your body's preparation for your breasts to produce milk.

16. Tender or swollen breasts: A lot of women experience sore, swollen, tingly or tender breasts during pregnancy due to the increasing hormones that are used to prepare a woman for breastfeeding. This feels like a amplified version of how your breast feels before your period.

17. Missed periods:  If you have been sexually active and you missed a period, it is a good indication that are you are pregnant. A pregnancy test should be taken to confirm if the missed period is really caused by your pregnancy.

18. Positive pregnancy tests: Only a positive urine test or blood test can give you solid indication that you are pregnant. The problem is, they may not be fool proof. Remember to visit a doctor to conduct further tests to confirm the results.

It is important to remember that not all of the symptoms above can confirm a pregnancy. When you have a positive pregnancy test, visit a doctor to get more tests done to confirm your pregnancy. That's the only way to find out if you are truly pregnant.

Im seventeen, just wondering if anyone could help me out a bit, iv been having sex with my boyfriend an we had unprotected sex a few weeks ago.
 
An i was late for my period then came on a week later, then stopped bleeding then started again a few days later an it was heavy bright red blood for 3 days, an iv not bled since, still weighting to come on i should b on now.
 
Iv had stomach pain n lower back pain as well as feeling faint an dizzy some times, iv been exstremly mood more than normally.
 
I did too pregnancy tests they both said that im pregnant but im not really that sure tho, because my mum n auntie both had cervical cancer an it runs in the family so i don't no if that might make the test say that i am wen i might just have cancer n not a baby.
 
But if i am pregnant im stuck on what to do cause me n my boyfriend arnt ready to have a baby right now, we only just started to work an it would be to expensive for me to take care of a child at the moment.
 
An my stomach seems to be getting bigger at the bottom an my breasts are sore n tender, my boyfriend said to me that he don't want to keep the baby if i am pregnant, so he wants me to get the baby terminated if i am pregnant, i don't like the idea but im not ready not right now anyway.
 
Thanks if anyone can help please do Goodbyee! =) x

Remember it's your body and not your boyfriend or the people on the internet should influince your disision to go through with the pregnancy. Remember that at 17 you are probually not emotionally or financially ready to raise a child.
 
Abortions are safe and legal, and know that while the fetus may have a spinalchord and a nervious system at the time of the abortion, it's brain is not developed enough to feel any pain. There are even support groups and theripy available to help woman that have had abortions, during the procedure you may have a local anesthetic or be put completely under so you are not concious for the procedure.
 
The fetus itsself is a rich source of live stemcells, something that can be used for life saving research!
 
If you are not keen on abortion there is adoption. And open adoption means that you receive updates on the child, photos, and sometimes even visitation, this means you may have a relationship with the baby. A closed adoption means that you will not be involved with the child.
 
There is always the option to raise the child, and as a young mother you would recieve priority at emergancy and subsidised housing, and othere servises may be available to help you emotionally and financially.
 
Remember it's your body, and your choice; no one else can make it for you. In Canada we have an organization called 'Planned Parenthood' it offers councoling for new parents, woman who have had abortions and adoptions, as well as councolours who can give you information that you require. I do not know about the united kingdom, but the internet is a great tool for finding these servises. There is also ChildLine i think it's called, I'm sure they can offer you these services over the phone or direct you to an organization that offers them.

Sweetheart my husband was adopted and whatever you decide is between you and God. If you decide to have the baby and feel that you are not ready to raise it. I hope you will consider adoption.it will change more than just your life trust me I know I've been very blessed to have my husband in my life . But please go to a professional for advice on what to do should you be pregnant don't ask random people who don't have any education on the matter. Good luck I hope the best for you .

hey chick!! well im 18 and i know what your going through me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex stupidly and now i think i'm preg. but i have not taken a test to confirm it. My stomach is kind of bigger and my boobs are tender and i've missed my last period. Me and my boyfriend (he's 17) are no where near ready to have a baby either, he wanted me to consider termination at the beginning but then he realized i was against it and he agreed he didnt want it either and he'd be there for me. We both are just going to have to grow up and do what we have to do to take care of this baby. It's are responsiblity that i'm preg. If you get your baby terminated believe me you will regret it. You could consider adoption so you can bring your baby into this world and it could have a good home. well i wish you the best of luck.... :) and i think instead of just listening to what your bf wants think about what you want..!!!???

I am 18yrs old and I had my daughter when I was 16yrs old. I now have my own place, a car, and a job. And I finished high school and I am attending collee. It wont be easy but I think keeping the baby will be a start to more beatiful things.

It is your body and your life, if you are not ready to be a mother and provide for this baby then the option seems to be termination. You have to be in a position where you can support yourself and another person, if not, what kind of life will you both have. Its ok to be selfish and put yourself first, you only get one shot at this life. Good luck, I hope it works out for you x Claire form the UK.

Hi my name is meme nd I'm 19 nd I've had 2 miscarriages nd I have plenty of friends that's had abortions wether it was becuz the bf did want it the mother didn't want them to keep it or they themselves didn't think they were financially or emotionally or physically ready they seriously regreted it in the end. I'm not here to judge u cuz I dnt u or how u live but one thing I can tell u is that god never puts more on us than we can handle so if ur pregnant consider it a blessing cuz there are to many women in the world that can naturally concieve nd wen they do there body can support a pregnancy so they miscarriage or so can't have kids at all so consider adoption.... 4thweek of pregnancy babies nervers form nd 5th week the heart begind to beat so if u do decide to terminate that fetus feels evrything just food for thought???

My name is Tiffany, I just turned 19 and I have a 4 month old. Her dad told me to get an abortion and I was upset with him, later on as I got further through the pregnancy he got abusive. I was talked down and hit, I think my daughter was a gift from god because after I had her I knew the true meaning of love. I am happy to say because of her I gained enough confidence to leave him for good. Sorry to bring my story into this but like others have said a baby is a gift, everything happens for a reason! Just make sure you are really careful afterward because I think I am pregnant again.

I was born to a 17 yr old high school student in the early '80's when unemployment was at an all time high. I made straight A's in school and later happily married. I have four children of my own. I am so proud that my mom made the decision to have me!!!! It's just a shame that I might never know my other colleagues, friends, and students due to half of them being aborted.....

you dont have cancer, your preganant. the test are based on these hormone that comes out in your urine called hCG, if it is in your urine your pregnant, cancer doesnt make you have that hormone :) if you BOTH agree that abortion is your best option then do it, if he's pushing you (i'm not saying he is) then dont do it, addoption is a good option too :) btw whtaever you decide, afterwards get birthcontrol so that this doesnt happen again.. :) hope i helped and good luck!

It definitely sounds likeyour pregnant. I'm sixteen and just had my first baby a month and a half ago. I had a beautiful baby girl. My boyfrind is twenty. Neither of us were ready for a baby but we both though about abortion and I just couldn't go throug with it. So we decided to keep it and jayden is the most wonderful thing that has happened to me. She actually brought me and my boyfriend together. I'm still in high school and plan on going to college for nursing. I is extremely difficult but being a mother is so rewarding. Good luck girl. Just before you both de decide ok abortion thing of that little unborn baby.

if you're not sure, you should probably go see a doctor. they can give you a definite answer. and if you are pregnant, abortion is not a good way to go. you WILL regret it afterwards. if you and your boyfriend aren't ready for a baby, then that's perfectly fine and understandable. but because you and your boyfriend decided to have unprotected sex, you shouldn't pentalize another person's life. especially your own baby's. adoption is a very good option. the baby will go to a good home, and be with people who are capable of taking care of a baby. it'll be a better environment for it. if you are pregnant, then there's a reason for it. God would give you the baby for a specific purpose. and i don't believe it would be so it could die. please don't think i'm trying to tell you what to do, i'm honestly not trying to. but because i'm around your age, i'm just giving you advice as to what i'd do. i hope this helped, :)

hey don't worry. what you need to do is just go to a docter....they won't tell if you tell them not to. what you can also do is go to that parenthood thing for teens. ive heard they help out alottt. i worry alot myself. and what tends to happen to me is when i worry about something long enough like that and look up the side effects or whatever i start getting them even when i don't have the actual cause yano...but in this case see a docter...what do you have to lose

Woman become pregnant when male semen meets a female egg. So unless he ejaculated over your vagina, (And even then it's very unlikely you'll be pregnant.) you have nothing to worry about. A fertile man must ejaculate inside a fertile woman in order to make a child.

If you're on birth control, I believe there is a 99% chance you WONT get pregnant, but that 1% still exists. Just wait it out and see if you get your period. Let's say that you are pregnant, you can always go to places like planet parenthood that are completely discreet. They wont contact your family, all they contact you for is for results on tests, and even then they ask you if they can call, and what name to call by.

You should get a pregnancy test or go to see a doctor. Theres really no point in worrying about these things to people in a public chat room. They have no way of knowing because pregnancy symptoms vary from person to person.
 
Also, if your having unprotected sex and you do not want to have a baby; thats the stupidest thing i have ever heard. Of course your pregnant if your not using condoms or birth control, thats unbelievably dumb.
 
I am sorry to those people who tried to have responsible sex and still ended up pregnant. But if you didnt even try to use a condom ( i don't care about the rhythm method or the "i just had my period so i cant get pregnant") you should be pregnant, and you shouldnt have an abortion. If your not old enough or mature enough to have a baby, or smart enough to use protection, dont have sex. Thats pretty obvious

When I woke up in the morning I felt sharp pains in my stomach . Im hoping that my period will come on soon . But if it dosnt , does that mean that Im pregnant ? Im not really sure what to do .

i really do think it goes through every girls mind when she first has sex that she could be pregnant. and most of the time u feel like u r when ur not just because ur thinking about it so much. i dont think ur pregnant and ur stomach wouldnt hurt right after sex because of being pregnant thats just because he prolly put his "thing" in too far and like brused u or something. idk if had the same scare before too but i think ur fine. but if u do skip just take a test to ease ur worries :)) <3 sarah

Alright so im 14 about to turn 15 and im so scared im pregnant. Back in January I had sex with one of my best guy friends, everything was fine he used a condom and all that so I wasn't worried. Last thursday I had sex with another of my guy friends but this time the condom broke! At the time we didn't really think about it and he just got another one. Now a couple days later my stomach is kinda hurting and i dont feel like eating anything, which really isnt like me. My boobs are super sore and I should get my period this week but im still waiting. I have no idea what to do, I dont really have anybody to talk to other then my best friend and she just keeps telling me to be positive. Please someone give me advise or help. Im sooooo scared!
