It is important for a woman to know if she is pregnant so that she can discontinue any activities, medications, exposure to toxins at work, smoking, or alcohol consumption that could be potentially harmful to the baby. Pregnancy tests, like most health tests, do not yield results that are 100 % accurate. The following are results from a blood test.
