Am I Pregnant?

When you have sex, there is a chance you could get pregnant. Contraception is important, but no form is 100% effective.

Statistics say, “A sexually active teen who doesn’t use contraceptives has a 90% chance of becoming pregnant within a year.”

Early Pregnancy Symptoms

A missed period or nausea are the most common signs of pregnancy. Are you experiencing any of these other symptoms?

Swollen, tender breasts
Nausea with or without vomiting
Increased urination
Fatigue
Moodiness
Bloating
Light spotting
Food aversions or cravings

Having one or more of these symptoms doesn’t necessarily mean you are pregnant. However, these symptoms are a strong signal.

What To Do First

To find out if you’re pregnant, get a free and confidential lab-certified pregnancy urine test from trained healthcare professionals at WCMC. While you’re at WCMC, talk confidentially with a patient advocate about your situation to see how we can help.

What If I’m Pregnant?

The thought of being a pregnant teen is scary. Alabama has the fifth-highest teen birth rate in the nation. About 74% of teen births in Alabama are from older teens (ages 18-19), and 16% of teen births are from teens who already have children.

If you receive a positive test result from one of our pregnancy tests, we’ll arrange for a free ultrasound scan. A pregnancy test only indicates the possibility of pregnancy.

Ultrasound confirms whether your pregnancy is viable (growing) or you’ve miscarried (up to 20% of known pregnancies end in a natural miscarriage).

An ultrasound scan also provides an indication of how far along you are in your pregnancy and if it’s located in the correct place.
