Confirming a pregnancy
The most obvious symptom of being pregnant is missing a period, but women may also experience some of the following:
- Morning sickness – this nausea and/or vomiting can occur at any time of the day or night
- Tender or swollen breasts
- Increased urination, especially at night
- Tiredness
- Food aversions or cravings
- Mood swings
- Constipation
- Increased vaginal discharge.
Remember!
The situation surrounding some people’s visit to a pharmacy to purchase pregnancy tests may not be a positive one. All conversations about conception and pregnancy should therefore be approached cautiously and sensitively in the first instance.
