Your Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy
PLEASE NOTE: If you are not yet pregnant click here to check out one of our other pregnancy communities.
The members here and I have noticed we have been getting a lot of folks coming to this board asking "Could I Be Pregnant?".
This Pregnancy board is here for women who are ALREADY pregnant and have questions for the expert and other members about their pregnancy.
The expert here cannot tell you whether you could be pregnant via an online forum. There are a lot of factors involved. However, you can get some excellent member feedback on the WebMD Could I Be Pregnant community.
Once you've confirmed your pregnancy, we encourage you to come back to this board for member and expert feedback, or join in on our Pregnancy: First Trimester board to find a group of friends who will follow you through your whole pregnancy and beyond into our Parenting communities.
Good luck!
