Am I Really Pregnant?

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.

Most pregnancy tests are very reliable. However, to confirm that you are pregnant, a visit to an appropriate health care provider is necessary. FirstChoice Clinic can provide this service free of charge.

A limited ultrasound may be necessary to confirm the status of your pregnancy. An ultrasound provides important information whether you are considering abortion or continuing your pregnancy.

You have choices! You need information to make your decision. Make sure that your decision is an informed one.
