What is done during a vaginal exam to tell a woman is pregnant?

The cervix gets softer when pregnant and if the examiner puts one hand in the vagina and one on the abdomen the pregnant uterus can be felt between the two hands. There is no reason to do a vaginal exam during pregnancy. A urine test is usually done to tell if a woman is pregnant, and sometimes a blood test to confirm. A vaginal check is usually done at the beginning of the pregnancy to check on the health of the vagina, not to check for pregnancy.
