A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pregnancy unlikely: From what you described you are very unlikely to be pregnant. Could be you just gained weight. Metabolism slows down with age and a person will gain weight on the same diet that was okay earlier. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.
