The two finger test in pregnancy is a digital cervical exam where an obstetrician places two of their fingers inside your vagina and measures the width of the opening of the external os of your cervix using fingers to approximate the distance.

To touch your stomach and self check your stomach for pregnancy and perform a self-examination, lie on your back and relax your body.

Next, place your fingers just above the pubic bone and press gently.

You should feel for any changes in your uterus, including an enlargement of the uterus.

The round ligaments in your lower pelvis may also feel harder or more pronounced in pregnancy.

Breasts do tingle during ovulation and the breasts during ovulation may also have mild soreness and tenderness as ovulation is when your breasts become more sensitive.

The tingling, tenderness and mild soreness during and prior to ovulation occurs because of the flood of hormones that enter the body just before and after ovulation.

Your cervix when first pregnant and once you've conceived will feel soft and more closely resemble the feeling of your lips.

When you're not pregnant and have not conceived then your cervix will feel firm to the touch and like the feeling of the tip of your nose.

The position that your cervix will be in if you are conceived is in the higher position.

During ovulation your cervix will rise to a higher level in your vagina and it will be lower in your vagina around the time of your menstruation.

Once you've conceived your cervix will remain in the higher position.

In early pregnancy your lower stomach will feel bigger and you may have a feeling of tightness which is mostly due to digestive changes.

And as you progress through your pregnancy the amount of the mucus may even increase and even become yellow or white and during late pregnancy the mucus can also become thick and contain pink streaks.

A pregnant woman's discharge will look like healthy vaginal discharge which can be thin, clear or milky white and smell mildly or have no smell.

The 2 week pregnancy discharge is called leukorrhea.

Pregnancy begins when a fertilized egg attaches to the wall of the uterus, and pregnancy symptoms may begin in some people as early as a week after implantation.

A pregnancy discharge is typically milky white or clear—but if it's a different color, it doesn't necessarily mean something is wrong. For example, you may see some spotting in the week following conception.

If you typically have an irregular period, you'll want to take a pregnancy test to confirm.

Most home tests can detect hCG as soon as 7 days after a missed period.

A pregnancy test detects hCG levels in your urine and shows if you are pregnant.
