Could i be pregnant?

Answer
Hi Kerrie,

Yes, you could be pregnant. I'm not a medical doctor so I recommend that you go to your doctor or go to a pregnancy help center to get a free test. You can email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com so we can find you a center or you can go to the website http://www.optionline.org to check.
The symptoms you are mentioning are pregnancy symptoms.
So hope to hear from you soon.
