Is my girlfriend pregnant? Signs of pregnancy.

The signs and symptoms of a pregnancy differ from woman to woman. However, one of the most noticeable symptoms of a pregnancy is a late or missed period. If your significant other is experiencing an delayed period, she should consider taking a pregnancy test in order to determine if pregnancy is the cause. Some women can still bleed while they are pregnant, however this bleeding will be considerably shorter or lighter than a regular period.

The most common first signs of a pregnancy are a missed period and nausea. A study conducted by the American Pregnancy Association found that 29% of women surveyed reported a missed period as their first pregnancy symptom. Likewise, 25% indicated that nausea was the first sign of pregnancy.

There are plenty of other symptoms that many women experience during the early stages of pregnancy. These symptoms include: Nausea or morning sickness, tender or swollen breasts, fatigue or tiredness. While not all women experience these symptoms, if your significant other is showing these signs, it could be a reasonable indication to take a pregnancy test.
