SummaryThe diagnosis of pregnancy is usually made on the basis of a history of amenorrhea, an enlarging uterus, and a positive pregnancy test. Nausea and breast tenderness are also often present.
It may be crucial to diagnose pregnancy before the first missed menstrual period to prevent exposure of the fetus to hazardous substances (eg, x-rays, teratogenic drugs), to manage ectopic or nonviable pregnancies, or to provide better health care for the mother.
