You cannot accurately determine if you are pregnant by touching your stomach. While there might be some slight changes in your abdomen during early pregnancy, these changes are often subtle and can be caused by various factors other than pregnancy.
Reliable methods for checking pregnancy at home include:
- Urine pregnancy tests: These tests are readily available at most pharmacies and drugstores. They detect the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a hormone produced during pregnancy.
- Blood pregnancy tests: These tests are more sensitive than urine tests and can detect pregnancy earlier. They are typically performed by a healthcare professional.
Remember: It is important to consult a healthcare professional for a definitive diagnosis of pregnancy.
