Level 1: Signs of early pregnancy
1. Delayed menstruation
After pregnancy, hormone levels in a woman\’s body will change, causing the menstrual cycle to change or even stop altogether. If your menstrual cycle is usually regular but this time it\’s delayed, you may be pregnant.
2. Breast swelling and pain
In early pregnancy, hormone levels in a woman\’s body will rise, causing breast tissue to increase. This change may cause breast tenderness or sensitivity. Additionally, the nipples may become more sensitive.
3. Nausea and vomiting
Many women experience nausea and vomiting during early pregnancy. This is usually caused by the body adjusting to rising hormone levels. If you wake up feeling nauseous in the morning or feel sick when you eat certain foods, you may be pregnant.
Level 2: How to detect pregnancy
1. Urine testing
Urine testing is one of the most commonly used testing methods. There are many brands of pregnancy tests available on the market that can be purchased and used at home. You need to read the instructions carefully before use and follow the instructions.
2. Blood test
A blood test can detect the presence of progesterone and is one of the most accurate testing methods. However, you need to go to a hospital or clinic for testing, which is relatively expensive.
3. Ultrasonic testing
Ultrasound testing is one of the most reliable ways to confirm pregnancy. Ultrasound allows the presence of the fetus to be seen and the timing of pregnancy and fetal health to be determined. However, you need to go to a hospital or clinic for testing, which is relatively expensive.
Level 3: Things to note
1. Choose a suitable time for testing
If your menstrual cycle is regular, it is recommended to take the test 7 days after the expected day of menstruation. If your menstrual cycle is irregular, it is recommended to take the test about 14 days after your expected period.
2. Follow the steps in the instruction manual
When using a pregnancy test stick, you need to read the instructions carefully and follow the instructions. If you are not sure how to use it, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
3. Test multiple times to confirm the results
Sometimes the first test results may be inaccurate, and it is recommended to test multiple times to confirm the results. If multiple tests come back positive, you may be pregnant.
Level 4: Things you need to pay attention to after pregnancy
1. Diet
After pregnancy, you need to pay attention to your diet and avoid excessive intake of food and sugar. At the same time, you need to ensure adequate nutritional intake. You can consult a doctor or nutritionist to develop a reasonable diet plan.
2. Exercise

Level 5: Common Misunderstandings
1. The pregnancy test results are inaccurate
Sometimes pregnancy test results may be inaccurate. This may be caused by improper handling or the use of expired test strips. It is recommended to test again or go to the hospital for confirmation.
2. Pregnancy cannot be detected if the menstrual cycle is irregular
Irregular menstrual cycles do not mean that pregnancy cannot be detected. It\’s just that you need to calculate the estimated time of menstruation more carefully when choosing the time for testing.
3. It is impossible to get pregnant without any symptoms in the early stages of pregnancy
Some women may not have obvious signs of pregnancy in the early stages of pregnancy but may still be pregnant. It is recommended that the test be performed after the expected time of menstruation.
