DIAGNOSIS OF PREGNANCY

• Pregnancy is usually identified when a woman presents with symptoms and

possibly a positive home urine pregnancy test result. Typically, such women
receive confirmatory testing of urine or blood for human chorionic
gonadotropin (hCG).

• Signs and Symptoms
• Amenorrhea
• The abrupt cessation of menstruation in a healthy reproductive-
• aged woman who previously has experienced spontaneous,
• cyclical, predictable menses is highly suggestive of pregnancy.
• As discussed in Chapter 5 (p. 80), menstrual cycles vary appreciably
• in length among women and even in the same woman.
• Thus, amenorrhea is not a reliable pregnancy indicator until
• 10 days or more after expected menses.
