Video Description:Whether you want a baby, or you aren't ready to be pregnant, waiting for the early signs of pregnancy can be stressful. This video will show you what pregnancy symptoms to look for, and may help you to answer the question, "Am I Pregnant?"Transcript:Whether you’re praying for a baby, or petrified that you might have made one, there are plenty of early signs to watch for. It is almost impossible to know for certain if you are pregnant until you take a pregnancy test – but a pregnancy test won’t provide accurate results if you take it too soon. That’s because a pregnancy test measures urine levels of human chorionic gonadatropin, or hCG, a hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy, and... because levels of hCG are usually too minute to measure immediately after conception, a false negative result is possible at this point. In fact, a home pregnancy test will not provide reliable results until – at the absolute soonest – about four days before your next period is due. The later you take the test, the less likely a false negative becomes. Although you may need to wait a couple of weeks before taking a pregnancy test, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t other signs of pregnancy to look for in the meantime. While not every pregnant woman experiences symptoms during their first month, most do notice some changes – even before their first missed period. For example, as early as two days after you conceive, your breasts may suddenly feel extremely swollen and tender to the touch. Wait another five to ten days and you may notice a light to medium pink discharge on your underwear. This is called implantation bleeding, and occurs when the fertilized egg burrows into your uterine wall. In the following weeks, many women notice other symptoms, including fatigue, bloating, and an ever increasing need to urinate. Morning sickness, which hits 80% of women eventually, can also strike an unlucky few in their first several weeks of pregnancy. If you’re pregnant, the second week after conception may also bring another change to your breasts: A darkening of your nipples’ areolas. And of course, if your period is late, that’s a clear sign that you may be pregnant. No matter what the symptoms might suggest, the only way to know for sure is to take a pregnancy test. If you do get a positive reading, it’s 99-percent likely that you are indeed expecting, and should visit your Ob/Gyn as soon as possible. Your physician can do a blood test, urine analysis, or even an early ultrasound to confirm your pregnancy.Category:Fertility & Conception/Am I Pregnant?Tags:signs of pregnancy, early signs of pregnancy, pregnancy signs, first signs of pregnancy, earliest signs of pregnancy, sign of pregnancy, pregnancy symptoms, symptoms of pregnancy, pregnancy test, am I pregnant, early pregnancy symptoms, pregnancy, pregnant, pregnancy calendar, hcg, missed period, implantation bleeding, tender breasts, bloating, morning sickness,

Also you are not going to be resdy for a baby at six teen yes babys are cute a love able but they are not toys! You have to have the money a safe place no more partying hanging with friends because you have to be a mom its not fun injoy being young while it last.
