Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)
During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Pregnancy symptoms. Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis. Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:
- When did your symptoms of pregnancy start?
- What symptoms of pregnancy do you have? - e.g. missed periods, nausea, vomiting, tiredness, urinary frequency, breast enlargement, breast tenderness, nipple enlargement, darkening of the nipples, insomnia, leg cramps, fainting, shortness of breath, heartburn, constipation, hemorrhoids, varicose veins, ankle swelling, carpal tunnel syndrome, back pain, vaginal Candida infection, skin pigmentation.
- When was your last menstrual period and was it normal? - to help determine the gestation of the pregnancy (how far along the pregnancy is) i.e. due date is one year and 7 days after the last menstrual period minus three months.
- Prior to pregnancy was your menstrual cycle regular? - to help determine the gestation of the pregnancy (how far along the pregnancy is).
- Were you on the oral contraceptive pill when you fell pregnant? - makes the due date unreliable.

Diagnosis Checklist: Associated symptoms your doctor may ask about (and why!)
Sometimes, other symptoms may be present and may help your doctor analyse your condition. The symptoms your doctor may ask about (in association with Pregnancy symptoms) may include:
- Vaginal bleeding? - Vaginal bleeding in pregnancy may indicate ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage.
- Abdominal pain, if so how would you describe the pain and point to where the pain is maximal? - e.g. uterine pain from a miscarriage tends to be colicky (cramp-like) and felt in the sacrum and groin; ovarian pain and pain from an ectopic pregnancy tends to be felt on one side in the lower pelvis and may radiate down the front of the thigh to the knee; abdominal pain in pregnancy may be a normal symptom.
- Symptoms of miscarriage? - e.g. a period of amenorrhea (missed menstrual periods) followed by vaginal bleeding, lower abdominal pain (cramping), passing products of conception via the vagina and sometimes loss of pregnancy symptoms.
- Symptoms of ectopic pregnancy? - e.g. history of missed periods, lower abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding which may be slight and brown in color, pregnancy symptoms, dizziness, may faint - must consider the possibility of ectopic pregnancy early in the management of bleeding in early pregnancy as ectopic pregnancy may be life threatening.
