Pregnancy, whether planned or unplanned, introduces a lot of important decisions and considerations.

Pregnancy tests are usually simple urine tests that screen for a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). HCG is released when a fertilized egg attaches to the lining of the uterus and is only found in the body if you are pregnant. You can take a home pregnancy test or go to a medical provider to be tested.

For a healthy pregnancy, it is important to start prenatal care as soon as possible, so that you can begin incorporating good nutrition, and adequate physical activity.
