The signs if a teenager is pregnant are the same as any other woman of any age except that adolescents may react in “fear or shame”. | |||
Knowing if an adolescent is pregnant is one of the most important parts of pregnancy because poorly looked after prenatal care is one of the, “major causes in pregnancy” among girls who are between the age of 15 and 19. | |||
Symptoms of teenage pregnancy can be easily confused with a female’s period except that one may experience, “morning sickness and frequent urination”. | |||
When taking a pregnancy test, teens should know that results may be incorrect due to the fact that tests may not work until “one week after a missed period”. | |||
Teens should also know that if they may be pregnant, they may not be able to track symptoms until about “two weeks after a missed period”. | |||

This page brings together the most common symptoms that woman have felt when believing that they may be pregnant.
