Pregnancy symptoms differ from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy.
One of the most common symptoms is a delayed or missed period after sex. Other common early symptoms are headaches, tender breasts, nausea and lower backaches.
If you have been sexually active and are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to take a pregnancy test.
Because these early symptoms are not unique to pregnancy (and some women may not experience any symptoms) a pregnancy test is the best way to know whether or not you are pregnant. If that test is positive, the next step is to confirm the pregnancy is viable with an ultrasound as soon as you can.
