Your first pregnancy can be an exciting but overwhelming time, especially during the early weeks before your first scan, when times are more uncertain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book your appointment today<\/a> for free pregnancy testing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it Normal to Have Few Symptoms?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Early pregnancy symptoms<\/a> differ for each woman; some women have many symptoms, such as fatigue, nausea, and food aversions, while others experience nothing at all. Both are normal and nothing to worry about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I Still Be Pregnant If My Test Is Negative?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Early testing for your pregnancy can result in false negatives<\/a> because the hCG hormone level is not high enough for detection. It\u2019s recommended to test after a missed period and repeat the test a few days to a week after if the first result is negative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are Cramps Normal In Early Pregnancy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mild cramping is a common symptom during early pregnancy as the uterus starts to change and adjust. If the cramping is accompanied by bleeding or becomes more severe, then it\u2019s important to contact your medical provider urgently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Can I Take My First Pregnancy Test?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A pregnancy test is best taken<\/a> one day after your missed period using first morning urine. If your first test is negative and your period still doesn\u2019t come, then retesting a few days to a week later is recommended. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Do I Have My First Scan?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An early pregnancy ultrasound is sometimes offered after a positive pregnancy test if you took it at a clinic or pregnancy center. At Hope Pregnancy Center, we offer a free ultrasound after a positive pregnancy test result to provide you with essential information about your pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Should I Do After a Positive Pregnancy Test?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s normal to feel a mix of emotions after receiving a positive pregnancy test result. The next step after confirming the pregnancy with an ultrasound is to look at all your options, ask any questions, and receive non-judgmental advice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pregnancy options include parenting, adoption, and abortion. Learn about all your options and resources to make an informed choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
