Pregnancy Day by Day: Day 28
Today may be a very big day for you! If your regular menstrual cycle is 28 days long (ie 28 days from the beginning of one period until the beginning of the next), then you will miss your period today if you are pregnant - although some women still find they experience an extremely light period which is more like spotting. However, if you haven't already taken a pregnancy test then today is the perfect time to take one.
Pregnancy tests can be bought from many local pharmacies and even from supermarkets although many women prefer to order online as they feel it is more discreet. In fact, whilst you're buying one you might want to consider purchasing more than one pregnancy test. The reason: you may be so surprised by the result that you'll want to confirm it!
I can personally recommend the First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test - 2-Pack which has given me positive results for my last two pregnancies six days before my period was due! Of course, if you'd rather not know too early then you can hold on for another few days!
If you aren't interested in buying an early pregnancy test, then the Clearblue Digital Pregnancy Test Kit with Conception Indicator - Twin-Pack is a great alternative and gives a 99% accurate result on the day your period is due.
It's up to you now, but bear in mind, if your test is accurate then you've made it to the end of your first month of pregnancy. Well done!
