Yes, we've all been there. Pregnant girlfriend. Or is she? You ask yourself about birth control, did we use it EVERY time??? Is she trying to trap me??? Is she trying to trick me to find out my reaction??? All good questions. Well here's some real pregnancy indicators. Good luck!!!

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Girlfriend
  • Unsuspecting you
  1. Step 1

    First, did you have sex? More specifically, did you have sex when she says she got pregnant? You'd be suprised I bet how many times this isn't true, that's what I learned on Springer anyway.

  2. Step 2

    Start adding up the days, is she really late for her period, or just making it up?

  3. Step 3

    Swollen breasts, very tender or sore (not yours, hers). This can happen as early as 2 weeks.

  4. Step 4

    Is she fatigued? Low blood sugar levels are a sign and can make her sleepy.

  5. Step 5

    Cramping and bleeding. Not the normal menstrual bleeding that you probably know nothing about anyway, it's different. She might comment on something like it.

  6. Step 6

    Does she start throwing up in the morning at the sight of you? Classic sign that happens as early as a few weeks.

  7. Step 7

    other indicators: headaches, constipation, eating weird foods and bitchiness.

Tips & Warnings
  • Look at her birth control, are there any days left behind?
  • Don't be a jerk, you're in this for the long haul now dude!
  • Always go to a doctor (again not you, her).
  • Don't leave her alone, you'll never forgive yourself.

on 8/12/2009 my girlfriend and i broke up then a week later she said she took two tests and one was positive and the other was negative. so i took her to pph but i didnt go in with her when we were leaving she said she wasnt but then later on that night we got into a fight and she said she was pregnant. i dont have a lot of time to take her to get an abortion but she asked when and what time and i gave her that now that its the day before she goes she said she cant go cause she has stuff to do. it seems that she is trying to keep from doing it and all of it sounds like a bunch of lies now i know that if it is true and it is mine i will man up and take care of it how ever it needs to be taken care of but i hate being jerked around and i have no idea how to know if she really is or not what should i do

on 1/12/2009 my girlfriend had ALL of these things but wasn't pregnant. you can never be sure without seeing a doctor or taking a test after about 3 weeks after she was supposed to have her period.
In my girlfriends case, she was extremely stressed with school and work, which can cause all of these symptoms!
