Early Pregnancy Symptoms Before a Missed Period
Some women begin to notice pregnancy symptoms even before their period is due. These may include:
- Fatigue or unusual tiredness
- Breast tenderness or swelling
- Nausea or food aversions
- Light spotting or mild cramping
- Emotional changes or mood swings
Because these symptoms can overlap with PMS, it’s easy to feel uncertain.
What to Do if You Notice Early Pregnancy Symptoms
If you’re experiencing early signs:
- Track your cycle and symptoms daily.
- Wait until your period is due, then take a home pregnancy test.
- Schedule a free, lab-quality pregnancy test at TLC of Hastings for results you can trust.
- Meet with a caring team member to talk through your next steps.
