Usually they will test your urine to see if you are pregnant. If it is more than a week before your period, they may do a blood test instead. Sometimes they may do a blood test anyway to get a general picture of your health at the start of pregnancy. You may also be weighed, and your blood pressure taken.

There is also the option of doing a home pregnancy test. Kits are available in most areas from a chemist or some supermarkets. They are very easy to use - you just dip the tester into a small amount of urine or place the test stick in the flow of urine. In this way, you can be in the privacy of your own home when the all-important discovery is made and be the first to know.

They will also do an ultrasound. To confirm the presence of a baby.
A doctor will do either a urine test or blood serum test for a hormone called HCG which is normally only present in the human body during pregnancy.

Doctors can look at the hormone levels in your urine and if one or two types of a certain hormone is higher, then the doctor can say that you are more than likely pregnant. :)

Does the urine smell strange during early pregnancy?

"Yes some women have found that when they are pregnant their urine becomes darker and can smell stronger than usual. There a few potential causes of this. Pregnant women tend to have a greater sense of smell and taste so if they may be able to better smell their own urine, even though it actually hasn't changed. Some women believe that they can smell the hormone that is produced and released into urine. That hormone is called the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), but it is unknown if women can actually smell the hormone or if they are just smelling stronger urine, or as mentioned above, smelling more of their regular urine. Another reason your urine may smell stronger is because you need more water than you are usually drinking. Pregnancy requires more hydration than you may usually need, not only does the baby need water but the embryonic fluid that surrounds the baby has to some from somewhere. The more water you drink the more water will be released into urine, diluting it and thus reducing the smell. If you drink less water, or require more water due to pregnancy, or even because you are exercising more, then your urine will smell more like ammonia then is may normally. While stronger smelling urine can be a sign of pregnancy, it is not a useful test. Visit your doctor for a blood test, or try a home pregnancy test. Take the home pregnancy test in the morning when the level of hCG is higher in your urine as home pregnancy tests test for this hormone."
