During pregnancy, your body goes through many changes. Some common symptoms of early pregnancy include a missed period, nausea, breast tenderness, frequent urination, tiredness, and mood swings. If you have had sex and are concerned that you might be pregnant, then step one is to take a pregnancy test.

Most pregnancy tests are very reliable. The tests we use at Birthline are highly accurate.  If you test negative the first time, we will offer you another free test in about a week or so just to be sure.  However, to confirm that you are pregnant, a visit to an appropriate health care provider will be necessary.

Your doctor may request an ultrasound exam to confirm the status of your pregnancy. This information is important whether you are considering abortion or continuing your pregnancy. 

For your convenience, Birthline provides free pregnancy tests, ultrasounds and pregnancy verifications by a physician.
