What Are The Symptoms Of Pregnancy?

hi, i had unprotected sex with my 26 yr old wife last month. she has missed her periods last month. Is she expecting and if yes then how to confirm it. She is in Philadelphia alone right now n is bit shy to consult a dr alone. Is there any procedure to check at home.? We are very excited about it and are ready to increase our family. please suggest.

OBGYN,  's  Response
Hello,
She can take a home pregnancy test with a fresh early morning sample of urine. This test reads well when performed 3-7 days after the missed period. If confirmed, she needs to see a specialist for further management. A trans-vaginal sonogram is done to locate the gestation sac, the age of the pregnancy and the viability. Routine blood counts, serum tests and urinalysis are done to maintain a base graph. Stress, intercourse and lifting weights should be avoided in the early months of conception. adequate rest, healthy diet and regular follow up are needed. Hope this helps.

Yes simple urine pregnancy test can be done at home. If there will be 2 lines then that will confirm that she is pregnant. All the best.
