The remarkable development of a pre-born baby only 6 weeks after conception. |
If you think you may be pregnant, your first reaction might be, "NO! It can't be!" You may feel sick and very afraid.

Some symptoms of pregnancy can be missed period, nausea, dizziness or a lightheaded feeling, weight gain or loss, tender and/or swollen breasts, appetite changes, fatigue, frequent urination. Each woman will experience symptoms differently, and at different times.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you should have a pregnancy test to determine if you are pregnant. Over the counter urine pregnancy tests detect a hormone called HCG produced by the developing pregnancy in the woman's body. Most tests will be accurate 7 to 10 days after conception.
If you are experiencing pain or abnormal bleeding, please contact a doctor as soon as possible.
