Are you wondering if you're actually pregnant?
You’re not alone—and your questions are completely valid.
Whether your period is late, your breasts feel tender, or you're feeling unusually tired, it’s natural to wonder: “Am I pregnant?”
For many first-time moms, this moment can be exciting, nerve-wracking, and full of unknowns. That’s why it’s so important to understand how to confirm your pregnancy the right way—and what steps to take next.
🧪 Here’s how to confirm your pregnancy:
Take an at-home pregnancy test. These tests detect the hormone hCG in your urine and are most accurate when taken after a missed period.
Follow up with a healthcare provider. Even if your home test is positive, only a clinical urine or blood test can officially confirm your pregnancy.
Schedule your first prenatal appointment. Early care matters—for both your health and your baby’s development.
🌱 What to do next:
Start taking prenatal vitamins (especially folic acid)
Avoid alcohol, smoking, and certain medications
Begin tracking your symptoms and cycle changes
Write down questions for your provider (no question is too small!)
