You’ve Got This

The possibility of an unexpected pregnancy can bring a wave of emotions and uncertainty. You might notice changes in your body and question what they mean.

While every woman’s experience is different, recognizing the early signs of pregnancy can help you make informed decisions about what comes next.

At Women’s Creekside Clinic, we’re here to provide clarity and support. Let’s explore some of the most common early pregnancy symptoms and what they might indicate.

early Signs of Pregnancy

Not every woman experiences pregnancy symptoms in the same way, but certain changes are more common in the early weeks.

Missed Period

If your cycle is usually regular and your period is late, pregnancy could be the reason. Even a lighter or shorter period than normal could be a sign.

Nausea & vomiting

Often referred to as “morning sickness,” nausea can occur at any time of the day and may begin as early as the sixth week of pregnancy.

Fatigue

A sudden increase in tiredness, even with plenty of rest, can be due to hormonal changes that support early pregnancy.

Breast Changes

Increased tenderness, swelling, or darkening of the nipples can signal hormonal shifts as your body prepares for pregnancy.

Frequent Urination

Needing to use the bathroom more often, even in the early weeks, is common due to increased blood flow and hormonal changes.

Mood Swings

If you feel more emotional than usual, fluctuating pregnancy hormones may be the cause.

Light spotting or Cramping

Some women experience implantation bleeding, which can resemble a light period when the fertilized egg attaches to the uterus.

What to Do Next

We understand this time can feel scary, but you are not alone. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, taking a pregnancy test is an important first step.

Women’s Creekside Clinic offers free pregnancy testing so you can get answers in a supportive, caring environment. If your test is positive, we can provide an ultrasound and additional resources to help you during this crucial time.
