Is Stomach Bloating Sign For Pregnancy?

Hi, I took the morning after pill back in February, and I've been having my periods as normal. In the last month or so I've been feeling very bloated, and am worried that I might be pregnant. Is this possible? I don't know if there is another reason for the bloated tummy/gassy reason or if I'm just being paranoid.

Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Abdominal bloating is a NON-SPECIFIC symptom of pregnancy. It may be due to effect of morning after pill, premenstrual symptoms or indigestion problem.

As you had taken morning after pill soon after unprotected sex, then you will get protection more than 95% against unwanted pregnancy. Here, chance of pregnancy is quite LOW but need to confirm.

I suggest you to undergo one home pregnancy test if you miss next period. Review with test result.

Practice safe sex. Good luck and take care.
