Could my girlfriend be pregnant?

[Sam182]

Lately my girlfriend has been complaining that she has felt nauseous in the evening, usually while she was trying to get to sleep. We thought nothing of it until a couple days ago when she felt nauseous in the morning - then alarm bells started ringing. She has felt like this on two mornings in the last four days, but not in the evening for a while - it is really confusing us.

She has been taking birth control pills for about 10 months now, and we have never had any problems until now. She has been feeling this sickness on and off since her last withdrawel bleed 3 weeks ago, but surely she cannot be pregnant as she had the bleed?

Before she took her seven day break, she had gone without a break for 3 months, could this have something to do with the way she feels?

Hoping this is not a stupid question, we are just worried, thats all!

First of all, if she has been taking her birth control correctly, then there is a slim chance that she could be pregnant. Morning sickness, a common sign of pregnancy after the first 6-8 weeks, is not only limited to the morning.It could actually happen at any time of the day. If it's just in the morning, then that's doesn't exactly mean it's morning sickness. I know I always feel groggy and sick in the morning, and it starts to go away around the afternoon.

A little bit of bleeding is normal in a pregnancy, but if she's had her period (if it was any more than a light spotting) then she most likely isn't pregnant. When was the last time you two had sex? If you're worried about her being pregnant, then she should take a home pregnancy test about 10-15 days after the last time you have done it.

Hey there!

Morning sickness isn't just limited to the morning. "Morning" sickness is a common, and expected part of pregnancy, and it's also not uncommon to experience bleeding during pregnancy. If it's anything more than light spotting, it was likely her period and then no, she wouldn't be pregnant.

If you're both worried she might be pregnant, she NEEDS to take a test. We can't simply give a yes or no answer because we're not doctors and we don't know you or your girlfriend and what her menstrual cycles are normally like.
