#A Brief History of Pregnancy Tests It's a question as old as womankind: Am I pregnant?
Answering that question with a reasonable degree of accuracy proved nettlesome in days past though some primitive pregnancy tests had genuine scientific merit.
 Ancient Egypt One of the first known ways of detecting a pregnancy comes from an ancient Egyptian document estimated to be from 1350 B c. 11 Big Fat Pregnancy Myths The papyrus document suggests a woman urinate on wheat
and barley seeds. If the wheat sprouted a female child was on its way the ancients decreed
Higher-than-normal levels of estrogen in pregnant women's urine scientists speculated may stimulate the germination of seeds
             A woman's urine was used as a way to determine her pregnancy status during the Middle ages too
or black the woman was probably pregnant io9. com reports. Another popular test involved mixing wine with urine and watching the resulting changes.
or feel nauseous she was presumed pregnant mentalfloss. com reports. The 1920s to 1960s Before the 1920s there were virtually no advances in pregnancy tests most of which relied on old wives'tales and other hokum.
But in the 1920s medical researchers were able to identify a hormone human chorionic gonadotropin or hcg that's found only in pregnant women marking the first time a single compound was discovered that could indicate pregnancy status. To determine the presence of hcg a sample of the woman's urine was injected into an immature female mouse frog or rabbit.
If hcg was present in the urine sample the animal would go into heat indicating the woman was pregnant.
The test known as the Aschheim-Zondek test (after its developers) the A-z test or the rabbit test was about 98 percent accurate.
when referring to their pregnancy. Testing involving frogs took a bizarre turn in the 1940s when thousands of African clawed frogs were imported for pregnancy testing.
A few escaped carrying with them a fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis that's blamed for a massive die off of native North american frogs and other amphibians.
In 1972 scientists reported for the first time a radioimmunoassay pregnancy test that could distinguish between hcg and luteinizing hormone in a woman's urine.
and Drug Administration (FDA) for an early-pregnancy test or e. p. t. For $10 women could purchase the two-hour test kit to use in the privacy of her own home;
The 1990s to today As testing methods continued to improve researchers found that enzyme indicators on home pregnancy test strips could replace radioactive labels.
and a digital display to replace the thin line indicating pregnancy. Modern pregnancy tests which still rely on the presence of hcg in urine are up to 99 percent accurate depending on the presence of certain medications following the test's instructions accurately
and how soon after pregnancy the test is performed. The makers of e. p. t. which now stands for error-proof testing recommend waiting at least a week after a missed period.

The anencephaly rate was more than 8 per 10000 births which is four times higher than the national average of one or two cases in every 10000 births according to the report.
 7 Ways Pregnant Women Affect Babies The researchers compared the group of 23 women along with four other women
whose babies had birth defects similar to anencephaly with a control group of 108 women living in the same counties
Examining medical records the researchers looked at possible risk factors for anencephaly including family history women s weight before pregnancy their occupations their smoking
and alcohol use health conditions during pregnancy medicationâ use (including over-the-counter remedies vitamins and folic acid supplementation) and whether the woman s residence received drinking waterâ from a public or private source.
The researchers didn t find any significant differences between women who had healthy pregnancies and those affected by anencephaly according to the report.
If the babies are not stillborn they usually die within hours of birth. Anencephaly occurs during the third and fourth weeks of pregnancy.

Women who take folic acid supplements before becoming pregnant as well as early in pregnancy may reduce the risk of having a child with an autism spectrum disorder according to a new study.
The researchers focused on women who had taken folic acid supplements for 4 weeks before they became pregnant until 8 weeks after the start of the pregnancy.
The babies were part of the Autism Birth Cohort Study a subset of the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study (Moba.
Women who had taken folic acid supplements in early pregnancy had a 40 percent reduced risk of having a child with autistic disorder than did had women who not taken the supplement.
However many women started taking folic acid later than recommended and only half began before they became pregnant.

#Eating Fish During Pregnancy May Lower Anxiety Eating at least some fish during pregnancy may lower women's risk of anxiety a new study suggests.
or oily fish (such as tuna and salmon) were 53 percent more likely to have high levels of anxiety in their third trimester of pregnancy compared with women who ate fish at least once a week.
While stress is not uncommon in pregnant women studies have linked high levels of anxiety to babies being born prematurely or with low weight.
In order to have a healthy pregnancy women need to follow a healthy diet and not something special for pregnancy saidâ study author Juliana Vazâ a researcher at theâ Federal University of Pelotasâ in Brazil.
A healthy diet can include whole grains vegetables meat poultry and fish she said. Some fish and seafood are good sources of omega-3 fatty acids
Because of the demands of a growing fetus pregnant women need higher amounts of nutrients. The lack of fish and meat in a vegetarian diet may explain why vegetarian women in the study tended to experience more anxiety the researchers said.
At the 32 weeks of pregnancy the women completed questionnaires and those who scored in the top 15 percent were classified as having high levels of anxiety.
While low dietary omega-3s may exacerbate anxiety outside of pregnancy as well as suggested by previous research the effects may be pronounced more during pregnancy.
Because of the nutritional demands of the fetus a pregnant woman may experience a more severe omega-3 deficiency Chilton said.
Pregnant women should avoid eating fish that contains high levels of mercury such as tilefish swordfish king mackerel and shark.
