Diagnosing pregnancy involves a combination of clinical assessments, laboratory tests, and imaging techniques. Here are the primary methods used:
Clinical Assessment
1. History and Physical Examination: Initial signs such as missed periods, nausea, breast tenderness, and fatigue are noted. A physical exam may reveal changes in the uterus and cervix.
Laboratory Tests
1. Urine Test: Detects the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a hormone produced during pregnancy.
2. Blood Test: Measures the exact levels of hCG in the blood, which can help determine the age of the pregnancy and detect any potential issues.
Imaging
1. Ultrasound: Confirms the pregnancy, determines the gestational age, checks for multiple pregnancies, and monitors the baby’s development.
Additional Tests
1. Genetic Screening: Tests such as the nuchal translucency scan, quad screen, or non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) can assess the risk of chromosomal abnormalities.
2. Amniocentesis and Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS): These are more invasive tests used to diagnose genetic conditions and other abnormalities.
These methods help ensure a comprehensive diagnosis and monitoring of pregnancy.
