Generally, the test for pregnancy involves a laboratory test in which a particular hormone known as "Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin" (HCG) is identified in the urine of the pregnant woman. It is produced in early pregnancy by the developing embryo and later by the placenta.

Other things to do also involve palpation by qualified medical or nursing personnel to identify foetal parts.

Abdominal scan can also be done when there is doubt, especially in early pregnancy.
