How do you know if your pregnant?There are many ways to tell if you are pregnant, including menstruation stopping, gastrointestinal discomfort, breast changes, abnormal urination, and early pregnancy test strips. However, if a woman does not intend to get pregnant, she should take timely and effective contraceptive measures to avoid an unwanted pregnancy.

Menstrual cessation 

As the embryo gradually grows and develops after a woman becomes pregnant, the levels of estrogen and progesterone in her body will rise, inhibiting the shedding of the endometrium and preventing menstruation from forming, thus causing menstrual cessation.

Gastrointestinal discomfort

As the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body gradually rise, they will stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa, causing symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. This is especially obvious when seeing or smelling greasy or other special foods.

Breast changes

Hormones also stimulate breast tissue, causing the milk ducts to dilate in preparation for lactation, and stimulate the development of parts such as the mammary gland ducts and mammary gland alveoli. This can easily lead to breast enlargement, and can cause pigmentation in the breast area and darken the nipples.

Urination abnormalities

During pregnancy, the uterus also continues to grow, and the uterus is close to the bladder, which can easily cause frequent urination by compressing the bladder.

Early pregnancy test strips

can also be used for testing. Morning urine is usually preferred. If the test shows a negative result, it means that you are not pregnant. However, if the result is positive, it means that you are pregnant.

In addition to the common methods mentioned above, blood HCG and ultrasound can also be used for testing. If a woman suspects that she is pregnant, she should go to the gynaecology department of a hospital for a check-up in time. During pregnancy, she should also ensure that she gets enough rest and avoids overwork, so as not to affect the growth and development of the fetus.
