THE MISSION OF LIFE CHOICE, INC. IS TO BE A CHRIST-CENTERED MINISTRY THAT EXISTS TO OFFER EMOTIONAL SUPPORT, PRACTICAL HELP, AND LIFE AFFIRMING SERVICES TO WOMEN, MEN, AND FAMILIES FACING PLANNED AND UNPLANNED PREGNANCIES IN NORTH CENTRAL WEST VIRGINIA.

ABOUT PREGNANCY SYMPTOMS & PROGRESSION

​

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF PREGNANCY INCLUDE MISSED PERIOD, TENDER OR SWOLLEN BREASTS, FREQUENT URINATION, NAUSEA OR VOMITING, FATIGUE, FOOD CRAVINGS OR AVERSIONS AND MUSCLE/BACKACHES. 

​

​

PREGNANCY OCCURS AFTER SPERM PENETRATES AND FERTILIZES AN OVUM, KNOWN AS A ZYGOTE. THREE TO FOUR DAYS AFTER FERTILIZATION, THE ZYGOTE BECOMES AN EMBRYO. A BABY'S HEART BEAT IS DETECTABLE APPROXIMATELY THREE WEEKS AFTER FERTILIZATION.

​

​

DURING PREGNANCY, YOUR BODY BEGINS PRODUCING LARGE AMOUNTS OF THE HCG HORMONE, WHICH DOUBLES EVERY 2.2 DAYS DURING THE FIRST THREE MONTHS OF PREGNANCY.  THIS IS THE HORMONE THAT IS EASILY DETECTED IN URINE AND IS DETECTABLE WITH

URINE PREGNANCY TESTS.

​

​

ABOUT PREGNANCY TESTING
