Dear aeveland,

The symptoms of pregnancy are

• a missed period
• nausea
• inexplicable fatigue
• sore or enlarged breasts
• headaches
• frequent urination

However, not all women may experience these symptoms. The only way to be sure of a pregnancy is to take a pregnancy test. If a woman is worried that she might be pregnant, the first thing she needs to do is find out for sure if she is — by either taking a home pregnancy test or by going to a health clinic for testing. To make an appointment at a Planned Parenthood health center near you, call 1-800-230-PLAN.

Hope this information helps!

Take care,
