If you’re wondering whether you might be pregnant, you’re not alone—and you’re not without support. The first signs of pregnancy can be confusing or even alarming, especially if the pregnancy was not planned. At Hope Rising, we’re here to help you sort through what you’re feeling, both physically and emotionally.
Early Pregnancy Symptoms to Look For: While every woman is different, some common early pregnancy symptoms include:
- A missed period
- Nausea or morning sickness
- Tender or swollen breasts
- Fatigue
- Frequent urination
- Mood swings
- Light spotting or cramping
These symptoms can also be caused by other things—stress, hormonal imbalances, or illness. That’s why the only way to know for sure is with a pregnancy test.
What to Do Next:
- Take a Pregnancy Test: Our center offers free, confidential pregnancy testing. No pressure. Just answers.
- Get a Medical Confirmation: A lab-quality pregnancy test and a limited ultrasound can help confirm whether you’re pregnant and how far along you are.
- Talk to Someone You Trust: Whether it’s a friend, a parent, or someone here at Hope Rising, don’t go through this alone. Talking it out can ease fear and give clarity.
- Schedule an Appointment: We’ll listen without judgment, answer your questions, and help you explore your options—all in a calm, private space.
