How to tell if you are really pregnant
Pregnancy is one of the most important experiences in a woman\’s life. Every woman hopes to conceive a child smoothly, but sometimes we feel confused and confused as to whether we are really pregnant. So how to tell if you are really pregnant? Here are some judgment methods.
1. Detect progesterone levels in urine
Progesterone is a hormone that only occurs during pregnancy and can be measured in urine. There are many different types of progesterone test strips on the market, which can be found after taking your first test a week before you realize you are pregnant. If progesterone concentrations exceed a certain level, pregnancy is possible.
2. Observe body changes
After pregnancy, the body will undergo a series of changes, including breasts becoming larger, appetite getting better or worse, waist and lower abdomen starting to widen, etc. Not every woman will have these changes, and they may be caused by other reasons. If you feel any abnormal changes in your body within a period of time, you may wish to go to the hospital to check whether you are pregnant.
3. Go to the hospital for testing
If you want to confirm whether you are really pregnant, the most reliable way is to go to the hospital for a test. Your doctor can confirm your pregnancy with a blood test or ultrasound and give you a report. However, it should be noted that although some women are pregnant, they cannot determine whether they are pregnant through ultrasound or blood tests in the first trimester, and may need to wait until the third trimester for confirmation.
4. Distinguish between true pregnancy and false pregnancy
Some women may experience pregnancy-like symptoms due to psychological reasons or other factors even when they are not pregnant. This is called false pregnancy. Compared with true pregnancy, pseudopregnancy manifests more psychological symptoms than physical symptoms, such as mental changes, anxiety, depression, fatigue, changes in appetite, fear of pregnancy, etc. There are usually no physical changes such as weight gain or abdominal circumference enlargement during pseudopregnancy.
Summary
Overall, pregnancy is a wonderful experience that allows women to experience the miracle of life. But when confirming whether you are pregnant, you need to carefully observe and test your body. In addition to judging whether you are pregnant through progesterone testing and body changes, the most reliable way is to go to the hospital for testing. As for the difference between false pregnancy and real pregnancy, you need to pay attention to the differences in symptoms. With the correct judgment method, women can safely enjoy the joy and expectations that pregnancy brings.
