Is it possible that I am pregnant? |

Pregnant is the state of of having a developing embryo in a female's womb. These days, most women find out they are pregnant in the privacy of their own home, using an at-home pregnancy test kit. Women who may be pregnant should see a doctor as soon as possible for confirmation and to begin prenatal care.

The most important indicator of pregnancy is a late period, or a period that is not normal. Fatigue, hunger, nausea, backache, sore breasts, and food cravings are also early indicators of pregnancy. If you are sexually active and have these symptoms it is important to get a pregnancy test early.

Morning sickness is a typical symptom of pregnancy. Hormonal changes in the body cause nausea, which is often, but not always, in the morning before the mother has eaten. Not all women have morning sickness with pregnancy, and some women have morning sickness with one pregnancy and not with another. Sometimes certain foods or odors will contribute to morning sickness.
