Question 2

How do I know if I'm pregnant?

Accepted Answer

The most common early sign is a missed period. Other symptoms may include breast tenderness, tiredness, mild cramping, or nausea.

To be certain, come in for a free and confidential lab-quality pregnancy test.

Question 3

How soon after sex can I know if I’m pregnant?

Accepted Answer

It usually takes about 10–14 days after conception for enough hCG to build up to show on a test.

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy.

Question 4

Why should I confirm my pregnancy at the center or a clinic?

Accepted Answer

Confirming with a lab-quality test ensures accuracy. It also gives you the chance to ask questions and get support as you think about your next steps.

Question 5

How can I tell my parents/partner?

Accepted Answer

It’s normal to worry about how the people you care about will react. Parents or partners might feel shocked, disappointed, or even angry at first. These initial feelings don’t mean they won’t support you. Over time, most parents and partners have a change of heart, and many become some of the strongest sources of help and encouragement.

You don’t have to go through this alone—talking with a trusted advocate first can help you plan how to share the news and cope with reactions.

Question 7

What will people think if I start to show?

Accepted Answer

It’s normal to worry about what friends, family, or others might think. Many people feel shocked, disappointed, or unsure at first, but most come to a place of understanding and support over time. What matters most is making the decision that’s best for you and your baby.
