An unplanned pregnancy can catch you off guard, bringing all sorts of emotions as you sort through how life could possibly change. No matter what happens, know you are not alone! Confirm your pregnancy with a lab-quality pregnancy test and ultrasound at our center today. If you receive a positive pregnancy test, we can help walk you through the process.
Common Pregnancy Symptoms
Some women experience multiple symptoms of early pregnancy, while others none at all. Here are some of the most common pregnancy symptoms to look out for:
- Missed period
- Tender, swollen breasts
- Nausea with or without vomiting
- Increased urination
- Fatigue
- Moodiness
Please note: While all of these are symptoms of pregnancy, they are not exclusive to pregnancy. It’s possible to experience any or all of them and not be pregnant. Stress and hormonal changes can also cause many of these symptoms. That’s why it’s important to take a pregnancy test to be sure.
What If my pregnancy test is Positive?
The first step after a positive pregnancy test is to get an ultrasound. This will provide important information about the pregnancy like:
- Where the pregnancy is located
- An estimate of how far along you are (based on the date of your last menstrual period)
- If the pregnancy is viable
All of that information is necessary before making any other decisions about your pregnancy.
If your positive pregnancy test is confirmed through an ultrasound, you have options: adoption, abortion, or parenting. If you would like to talk to our team about your options, we are here for you! Our non-judgmental team can walk you through all the questions you may have and give you advice for what’s next in your journey. Mosaic does not perform or refer for abortions, but we are able to provide accurate information on each of these procedures so that you can be fully informed prior to a pregnancy decision.

*If you plan to become established with an OB-GYN, their office will be able to provide STI screening as a part of your prenatal care. If you plan to pursue the abortion route, it is not guaranteed that abortion clinics will require testing prior to a procedure. It is important to rule out STIs prior to an abortion, as this could result in adverse effects, such as Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID). If you do not plan to become established with an OB, it is still recommended that you are screened for STIs prior to making a final pregnancy decision. At our Center, we can test pregnant clients for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea.
