Frequently Asked Questions
If you recently took a pregnancy test and saw that the results were positive, you may want to have an ultrasound. An ultrasound procedure can tell you some important information about your pregnancy. It can also help you in the decision-making process. An ultrasound will tell you how far along you are, whether there is a fetal heartbeat present and where the pregnancy is developing. All of this information is crucial to know to help determine the viability of your pregnancy and ensure you have all of the facts before making any decisions.
Some women do not notice the early signs of pregnancy. Other women will mistake them for something else. By educating yourself, you make yourself capable of detecting your pregnancy at its earliest stages. Here is a list of a few typical early pregnancy symptoms:
- a missed period
- excessive fatigue
- uncommon food aversions or cravings
- nausea
- vomiting
- tender breasts
- unusual mood swings
- backaches
If you notice one or more of these symptoms after having unprotected sex or some sort of birth control mishap, you could be pregnant. We encourage you to visit our clinic and take a free pregnancy test.
If you have sex — oral, anal or vaginal intercourse and genital touching — you can get an STD, also called a sexually transmitted infection (STI). STD symptoms are not always obvious. If you think you might have an STD, you should talk to your doctor. Before you visit the doctor, you can look out for these symptoms of common STDs.
