I believe i may possibly be pregnant but itz only been 6 days so how lengthy just before i can take a check? Also if I am pregnant what are items that are really harmful to the little one [besides drinking smoking etc...] sn: this is my first Pregnancy.
1) When you first realise that you missed your period.
2) Eating sushi, skydiving, bungee jumping, falling over (at late pregnancy), too much stress..

well it takes two weeks for you to be ‘officially’ pregnant, thats how long it takes the egg to be fertelized. take one in a bout a week.
well im not sure but i think you can take the test now. though it probably tells you on the box. as for things you cant do, check this out: http://www.pregnancy.org/article/things-you-can-and-cant-or-shouldnt-do-during-pregnancy
hope i helped! good luck
You should wait to take a pregnancy test. If you take it too soon after your missed period the test may not be able to pick up on the hCG hormone (produced when pregnant). I suggest you wait a week and a half before you take a pregnancy test. As for what activities you shouldn’t par take in- excessive exercise, heavy weight lifting, no drugs at all even medicine for colds, & no alcoholic beverages. Good luck!
I would recommend taking a home pregnancy test about 2-3 weeks after your missed period. If you want to take one earlier (a few days after your missed period) then I’d recommend you buy one specifically made for testing early (like the Early Response ones).
As far as activities..
1) Stay away from most amusement park and fair rides (especially ones with heavy movement/jerking such as roller coasters, rides that spin and go upside down, etc).
2) Bicycling can be harmful during the first trimester, especially if you’re biking long distances (due to the shift of gravity).
3) Horseback riding (due to the extremely bumpy movement, at times, and the risk of falling).
4) Gymnastics (due to the risk of falling and trauma to your uterus and stomach).
5) Most contact sports (like soccer, basketball, football, etc) due to the risk of injury to your stomach area.
6) Avoid hot tubs/saunas due to the high heat index and birth defect risks.
7) Scuba diving (because of the change of oxygen, air bubbles can form in your blood stream causing severe birth defects, miscarriages, etc).
Those are the main activities that are dangerous during pregnancy, but you should really avoid anything that can cause you to fall, injure yourself/trauma, or cause your body a change in oxygen.
With some tests (first response, ept) you can test 4-6 days before your missed period. I waited a week after my missed period and took like 12 test. Just take it easy, don’t over do yourself. Mainly its just drugs and alcohol that can really harm the baby in this stage.
