Month 1: Preparing for the Journey
Signs You Might Be Pregnant: What to Look For
Congratulations on beginning your pregnancy journey! At Temecula Valley OB-GYN, we know this is an exciting and emotional time. If you’re wondering whether you’re pregnant, here are some early signs to look out for:
- Missed periods
- Nausea or morning sickness
- Tender or swollen breasts
- Fatigue
- Frequent urination
Pregnancy symptoms can vary, so it’s important to trust your instincts and reach out to a healthcare provider if you suspect you might be expecting. At Temecula Valley OB-GYN, we’re here to confirm your pregnancy and start you on the path to a healthy and joyful journey.
What to Do Next
If you notice these symptoms, the next step is to schedule your first prenatal appointment with us at Temecula Valley OB-GYN. Early care is vital for both you and your baby. During this initial visit, our team will:
- Confirm your pregnancy with a test and possibly an early ultrasound.
- Provide personalized guidance on nutrition, lifestyle, and prenatal care.
- Answer any questions or concerns you may have about the months ahead.
We take pride in offering compassionate, comprehensive care tailored to your unique needs.
Emotional and Practical Considerations
Discovering you’re pregnant can bring a mix of emotions—excitement, anxiety, and everything in between. Take time to process this life-changing news and share it with your partner or loved ones in a way that feels right for you. You may also want to start thinking about practical preparations, such as:
- Planning your financial and insurance needs.
- Making a list of questions to discuss during your first visit.
- Researching support groups or pregnancy resources in the community.
