Is it normal to miss a period? im really worried that i could be pregnant (i already have a 6month old baby-not nursing) My belly has been swollen for 3 days now and my Gp has just given me tablets for acid! i feel like i did with my first pregnany but surly i cant be with two negatives. Thank you for your help.

Answer
In general, pregnancy tests are pretty good. But they are sometime wrong. Wait a week and then buy another test kit at your pharmacy. Look at the expiration date on the kit and make sure the kit is fresh. Take the test at home exactly as the directions specify. If the test is positive tell your GP. If negative and you still feel pregnant, tell your GP.
