Incidence :

Pregnancy can be diagnosed by a urine or blood test that may turn positive as early as twelve days after sex that results in pregnancy. There is no method of determining if a pregnancy is present within that twelve days. Once diagnosed, a series of blood and urine tests will be performed at about twelve to fifteen weeks of pregnancy to check on the health of the mother. Further blood tests will be routinely undertaken a couple of times later in the pregnancy. Urine tests are performed routinely at every antenatal consultation. An ultrasound scan may be performed at about 16 weeks of pregnancy, and again late in the pregnancy if there are indications that it is necessary. A Pap smear is often performed routinely in early pregnancy.
