How do I know if I am pregnant?

If you suspect you might be pregnant and want to know for sure, here's how to tell if you're expecting.

• Some symptoms may be clues, such as missed periods, heavy and tense breasts, fatigue, or morning sickness.
• Get a pregnancy test to check for a rise in beta-hCG levels in your urine, which is a sign of pregnancy.
• If your pregnancy test is positive, you should absolutely go to your doctor, who will not only examine you but also make you take a blood test to confirm that you are pregnant.
