Unintended pregnancy can have serious consequences for women and men, including decreased chances of finishing school, an
unstable financial future, and risks for the mother’s health, not to mention for the baby’s health and development.
YOU THINK YOU MAY BE PREGNANT If you have had sexual intercourse
and you’ve missed your period, especially if your breasts are tender or swollen or you feel tired or sick to your stomach, you may be pregnant. If you think you might be pregnant, you need to get a pregnancy test right away to find out for sure. You
can arrange an appointment to see your health care provider,
or buy a home pregnancy test at a drugstore, supermarket or
online. (They run $8 to $20 and you should follow the instructions
carefully.) To find a clinic or provider near you, see Hotlines and Websites section of this guide
