WHEN SHOULD I DO A PREGNANCY TEST?

PREGNANCY AND MATERNITY CARE
Taking care of yourself during pregnancy is like
giving a special hug to the little one growing
inside you. Eating healthy foods and going for
gentle walks are gifts for you and your baby.
Maternity care is like having a team of helpers
who ensure you and your baby are safe and
healthy. Doctors and nurses will check on you
regularly, listen to the baby's heartbeat, and
answer any questions. They're like friends on
this exciting journey, ensuring everything is
okay. So, relax, eat well, and let your maternity
team care for you and your precious bundle of joy.

MISSED PERIOD
One of the most common signs of pregnancy is a
missed period. If your menstrual cycle is regular
and you notice a delay, it's a good indicator to
take a pregnancy test. However, irregular periods
can make relying solely on this sign challenging.

TIMING AFTER UNPROTECTED SEX
If you've had unprotected sex and are concerned
about the possibility of pregnancy, it's
advisable to wait at least a week after the deed
before taking a test. Testing too early may not
yield accurate results as the body needs time to
produce detectable levels of the pregnancy
hormone, hCG.
5
USE MORNING URINE
For the most accurate results, it's recommended
to use your first-morning urine for the test.
This is because the concentration of hCG, the
hormone produced during pregnancy, is usually
higher in the morning.
6
FOLLOW THE TEST INSTRUCTIONS
Each pregnancy test kit comes with specific
instructions. Reading and following these
instructions carefully is crucial to ensure
accurate results. Some tests may require you to
wait a long time before reading the results, and
misinterpretation can lead to false outcomes.
7
REPEAT IF NECESSARY
If you receive a negative result but still
suspect you might be pregnant due to ongoing
symptoms or concerns, consider waiting a few days
and then retesting. Hormone levels can vary, and
testing too early may provide a false negative
result.

SEEK PROFESSIONAL ADVICE
If you're uncertain about the results or have
concerns about your reproductive health, it's
advisable to consult with a healthcare
professional. They can provide guidance, perform
additional tests, and offer support based on your
circumstances. Early detection and proper
prenatal care are essential for a healthy
pregnancy.
