The question

Dear TeenHealthFX,

Hi what are the symptoms of being pregnant in first day

The answer

In early pregnancy, the signs and symptoms can range as follows:

First, sign/symptom of being pregnant is missing a period. Your menstrual (period) cycle starts on the first day of your period and on average lasts about 28 days. If after 28-32 days, you notice you did not get your period, it is a sign you may be pregnant.

[Mayo clinic explains, additional signs and symptoms of pregnancy as nausea/vomiting, swollen/painful to touch breasts, or feeling extra tired.

If you or someone you know may be pregnant,  it would be a good idea to take an at home pregnancy test as well as to follow up with a doctor to confirm. If you need help finding a doctor and live in northern New Jersey, you can call the [Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health at 973-971-5199 for an appointment with an adolescent medicine specialist.
