You can get the answers you need to make your next steps with confidence. While women’s pregnancy symptoms can vary, there are common ones to look out for. Here are common pregnancy symptoms you may be experiencing:

- Tender, swollen breasts
- Mood swings
- Bloating
Confirm Your Pregnancy
Gain the clarity you need about your potential pregnancy. Confirm your pregnancy with both pregnancy testing and an ultrasound. While a positive pregnancy test is a key factor in the confirmation process, it’s not enough information to make an informed and safe pregnancy decision. Ultrasounds are necessary to confirm the following:
- How far along you are (also called gestational age)
- The viability of your pregnancy (whether there is a heartbeat and the pregnancy is progressing)
- The location of your pregnancy (whether it’s located within your uterus)
Around 10-20% of women experience a miscarriage, and some women experience ectopic pregnancy, where the pregnancy grows outside of the uterus. An ultrasound is needed to be alerted of pregnancy complications such as these.
