Answer 1

If you think you may be pregnant, you're probably questioning every subtle change in your body as a possible sign. Some women feel certain they're pregnant at the moment of conception, while others don't really believe the news until they have a positive pregnancy test—or two.

For most women, a missed period is the first indication of pregnancy. But if you don't have regular periods, you'll have to watch for other symptoms.

Know the symptoms
While symptoms vary greatly from one woman to another, here are some common, possible signs of pregnancy:

Changes to your breasts. Tenderness and enlargement can occur as early as a week after conception. You also may notice the areolas, or rings around your nipples, darken and veins become more visible.
Nausea and vomiting. Morning sickness can occur anytime of the day or night and may begin one or two weeks after conception.
Fatigue. While this is common in the first weeks, it often continues into your first trimester and may last throughout your pregnancy.
Slight spotting or cramping. About eight to 10 days following ovulation, when the embryo attaches to lining of uterus, you may experience a light pink spotting. It usually comes earlier than your expected period and is not as red or heavy.
Frequent urination. You may feel the need to use the bathroom more often about six to eight weeks after conception, as your uterus puts pressure on your bladder.
Other symptoms may include: constipation, elevated body temperature, headaches, dizziness, backaches, lower abdominal cramps, excessive salivation, heartburn and food cravings.

Take a pregnancy test—or two
Pregnancy symptoms can be misleading. There may be many other possible reasons for how you're feeling. But, if you think you're pregnant, the next step is to take a home pregnancy urine test. About 10-14 days after conception, or about a day after a missed period, a urine test can detect the pregnancy hormone hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotropin).

Pregnancy tests aren't foolproof. Sometimes you get a negative test when you're pregnant or a false positive, showing you're pregnant when you're not. Consider taking the test a week later to double check the results.

Confirm the results
Follow up with your doctor and have a medical exam to confirm the pregnancy and get on track with prenatal care. In the doctor's office, you can take a blood pregnancy test as early as 8 to 10 days after conception to detect hCG. The ultimate positive sign, of course, is seeing the fetus. With transvaginal sonography, it is possible to identify the gestational sac (the fluid-filled structure that will develop into the fetus) about five weeks after the last menstrual period, and about two weeks later, the beating of the fetal heart can be seen.

Well congrats! I think it is great that your mom is going to help out, having a baby is loads of work no matter how old you are. Most new moms worry about being a good parent, it is a big responsibility. All any of us can do is our best. As for what to expect, well some pain to start with lol. You will want to bring something comfy to wear and probably something a bit smaller to wear home, a nursing bra is a good idea and some breast pads, . Clothes for the babe, a carseat, a baby blanket if it is chilly where you live. Bring shampoo and soap, toothbrush and paste and some pads, the hospital ones are like freaking mattresses they are so big and uncomfortable, avoid any with a plastic coating though they are not comfy when you have to wear them for weeks on end. I took hard candy with me, sometimes you aren't allowed to eat while in labour so it is nice to have something to suck on. How long you stay depends on how you deliver. If you have the babe vaginally you can be home in as little as 12 hours. If it is a c-section then you stay a few days at least. My babies roomed in with me, they had a bassinet beside my bed and only went to the nursery to be weighed. Good luck!

Don't want to waste the money on a test?! Are you SERIOUS?! A test is 10 bucks. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH A KID IS GOING TO COST YOU? Dear Lord I wish stupid people weren't allowed to have children.................. Normally if you have a period you're not pregnant but if you're having sex then you need to go get a test and find out. Easiest way to avoid this mess? Keep your legs closed.

Answer 4

I don't think it would be a waste of money to buy a test. Better yet, go see a doctor. The doctor will run tests and if he/she tells you that you're not pregnant, then you can investigate what other conditions may be causing these symptoms right away.

Answer 5

Usually in pregnancy if you get a period it's not heavy at all but lighter than normal. Heavy bleeding is a miscarriage.

Answer 6

get a test done and see your doctor, your breast sometimes will get tender around and at the time you are on your period, and gettting a test isnt wasting your money, if thats wasting your money then you shouldnt be having unprotected sex.
