You thought you’d feel it. A little nausea. More tiredness. Something. Instead, you feel completely normal.
Could you still be pregnant?
Early pregnancy can feel very different from person to person. Some people notice changes quite early on, while others have few symptoms — or none that they recognise — in those first few weeks.
According to Tommy’s, not everyone experiences the same early pregnancy symptoms, so not having the signs you were expecting doesn’t necessarily rule pregnancy out.
And that’s where things can get confusing. We’re often told to look out for nausea, tiredness or tender breasts, so when none of them show up, it’s easy to feel as though we already have our answer.
But pregnancy doesn’t always announce itself in the way you might expect.
In the very early stages, you may not feel particularly different. Or there may be small changes, but nothing you’d confidently connect to pregnancy.
Either way, trying to interpret every feeling — and every lack of feeling — can quickly become a guessing game.
That’s why, if pregnancy is a possibility, symptoms alone can’t give you a definite answer.
The NHS advises that most home pregnancy tests can be used from the first day of a missed period.
If you’re tracking your cycle and feel ready to test, the MommySense Pregnancy Test Strips offer a simple way to check at home by dipping the stick in a small cup of urine. If you prefer a test designed for direct use in the urine stream, use the MommySense Midstream Pregnancy Test.
And if you get a negative result but your period still hasn’t arrived, try not to panic. Testing too early can affect the result, and the NHS recommends testing again after a few days if you still think you could be pregnant.
You don’t have to feel nauseous, exhausted or noticeably different just because you are pregnant.
Sometimes, you feel it. Sometimes, you don’t. And sometimes, the best thing you can do is stop searching for signs and take the test.
And if you are ready to take the test, order it from our website and read this guide to find out how it works.
