It could be you, your girlfriend or your best friend. She's missed her period. She feels sick. Her boobs are all tender. She's gone off coffee and fancies a nice bowl of gherkins and ice cream. Whatever the signs (and there may not be any!) she needs to have a pregnancy test to confirm these feelings. It's a nerve-wracking experience but it has to be done. You can get one free from your doctor, most young person's services, or from a family planning clinic. You can also, if you want, buy one from most supermarkets or chemists.
