First, if your period is late, that's usually the biggest indicator. Then, buy a home pregnancy test from a chemist. They're quite accurate these days. You can also track your cycle with apps, sometimes they show early signs like basal body temperature changes, but the test is the real deal.

My friend just got pregnant, and she said she started feeling super tired and a bit nauseous before she even missed her period. But the definite answer came from the home pregnancy test, which was positive! So, test is the way to go.

If you're noticing changes in your body, like fatigue or missed periods, first do a home pregnancy test. If it's positive, immediately book an appointment with a gynaecologist. They'll confirm with blood tests or an ultrasound. While waiting, keep up light, safe exercise like walking if you're used to it, but avoid anything strenuous until you see the doctor.

If your period is late, do a home test. If it's positive, the very next step should be to see a gynaecologist. This is even more critical if you have any pre-existing conditions like high BP. Early check-ups are essential to ensure a healthy pregnancy from the start and manage any risks.

It's completely normal to feel anxious if you suspect you might be pregnant. The most reliable first step is a home pregnancy test if your period is delayed. If it's positive, or even if it's negative but you still feel symptoms, please see a gynaecologist. They can do blood tests or an ultrasound to confirm and put your mind at ease.
