Hallow Dear,

I would have appreciated to know when did you have your last menses and whether you have missed your period.

Missing a period is the first cardinal symptom of pregnancy. The other symptoms like nausea & vomiting, frequent urination and breast changes like engorgement and tenderness, dark discolouration of nipples & areola with increase in the size of areola and secretions through the nipples appear later - may be about 8-15 days after missing a period.

From your history, I could not get the information about whether you are having any of these symptoms. Only weird feeling in the abdomen cannot be attributed to pregnancy. Nausea and weird feeling in the abdomen without missing a period could be due to the stress of (?unwanted) pregnancy!

Well, if you have missed your period, 8-10 days after that, please do pregnancy test on your overnight first morning urine examined; earlier, these tests may give false negative results. Alternatively you may get Beta hCG test done which is reliable even few days before the missed period. If you do not have facility of undergoing either of this test, you can go for ultrasonography about 10-15 days after missing a period which will give you direct visual evidence of your pregnancy status.

Clinical examination from Obstetrician about 10 days after missing period also can give you clue about your pregnancy status.

Somehow, you have to opt for one of the diagnostic measures mentioned above for diagnosing your pregnancy.

Of course, if you have not missed your period as yet, please wait for the period to appear. It you get the period, no dilemma about pregnancy.

I hope this helps you.
