By now you should have missed your period — one of the more obvious indications that you're pregnant. It's time to pee on a stick (good news since you probably need to go more often anyway), because at 5 weeks pregnant the level of hCG, the pregnancy-announcer hormone, in your urine is high enough to be detected by a home pregnancy test.
That means you'll be able to confirm what you probably already suspect: You're expecting!
This news will probably elicit a combo platter of emotions ranging from sheer joy to sheer terror as the reality that you're going to be a parent sets in. Mood swings are totally normal — kind of like PMS on overdrive — so don't worry if you're having them.
The Happy Mom app is with you every step of the way on your pregnancy journey.
Thank you for reading.
