Pregnancy Q&A Answer A2671

The symptoms you’ve described: " itchy breast, 'gassy' feeling, pain in the lower back and abdomen, little bumps on your breass"... are not signs of pregnancy. If your period is late you can do a home pregnancy test to exclude or confirm pregnancy. If the test is positive you can then go to a gynecologist to confirm the pregnancy with an ultrasound scan. If the test is negative and you're still missing your period is still delayed, you can go to a gynecologist after a 2 week delay period.
