    Am I pregnant
    I just went to see a doctor this morning 'caus I'm suffering with flu,he use something to messure my temperature then he used something to listen on my stomach & on my back using that thing that has two things like earphones and put it in your body & breath in & out then after that he suddenly asked me if am I pregnant or not&i've been notcing that there something moving up&down beating like a heart beat in my stomach .I was shocked yep I understand we haven't used protection for several times 'cause we've been trying for a child so what do you think guys?I don't know whether to be excited or not maybe I should go for a pregnancy test on my own just to make sure.

    Asking a woman of child bearing years if she is pregnant is a rather standard question.The doctor needs to know as it will determine what if any medications you are prescribed.
    I would wait until you have missed a period ,one week late and then take a home pregnancy test with your morning urine.

    Asking if you're pregnant is standard procedure so don't read into that too much.

    If you were far enough along to notice fetal movement, you would already know you were pregnant. Chances are you're either feelng your own pulse through your fingertips or you have gas, etc.

    When in doubt, take a HPT as artlady recommended above. ;)

    Sometimes I think I can feel a baby inside me too, but it's really just my built up farts. No joke. Sometimes I freak myself out and think there is something in there. Chances are your feeling the same way I am.

    If you are having sex please use a method of contraception!

    If pregnancy is a major concern you can always go to your doctor/ walk in clinic and demand a blood test since they can detect pregnancy as early as 7-12 from possible conception.

    Sexudcate yourself: go to a clinic and ask a nurse for contraception [condoms, IUD, Birth control, etc.]

    If you're far enough along for a fetal heartbeat, then a test would be accurate at this time. Fetal heartbeat is usually detectable at around 12 weeks, that's 3 months.

    Sounds like just the usual "any chance of pregnancy?" question that docs ask.

    Good luck.

    This is called a thermometer.

    This is a stethoscope.

    This is a common question that doctors ask every woman of childbearing years.

    This is called perstalysis it is the contents of your intestines moving food from the stomach to the anal sphincter.

    Have you missed a period yet? If not, you are going to have to wait until you miss one to test for pregnancy using first morning urine.
