Pregnant... Not Pregnant?

When a woman suspects she is pregnant she might greet the prospect with joy - or panic. If you suspect you might be pregnant, the first thing to do is be sure.

The first sign of pregnancy for most women is when a period doesn’t start. Other signs, such as morning sickness, breast swelling and tiredness generally appear later.

You can quickly check if you are pregnant with a pregnancy test. Pregnancy Tests detect human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (hCG), a hormone that starts to be produced about a week after conception and can be found in your urine.
