Pap smears are done to detect Cervical cancer and precancerous changes in the cervix. They are typically done during the earlier part of pregnancy, but may be done later if not done early.

How would you know if you lost your baby?

You would have reasonably heavy bleeding that is generally quite painful (if you are in the earlier stages of pregnancy) In the later stages of pregnancy, once you are regularly feeling your baby move, if you have not felt your baby move in 12 hours, you should go to the hospital, however it does not neccessarily mean that you have lost your baby


How can you cheat a test?

The only thing that 'might' work is to drastically dilute the urine. So, I would try to take the pregnancy test as late in the day as possible and drink as much water as possible. You might get away with it during the early stages of pregnancy when your HCG levels are low, but this will not work for long....
