If there is a lot of blood or clots, the doctor or nurse may use a clamp or gauze to remove it. You should not feel any pain during this part of the exam, although you may be embarrassed and uncomfortable. The doctor or nurse may put gloved fingers in your vagina and feel your abdomen with the other hand. He or she can feel whether the mouth of your womb is open, how big your womb may be, and whether there are any signs of infection or tubal pregnancy. You may have blood drawn for some tests.
Pregnancy tests can be either urine tests or blood tests.
This test will help your doctor or midwife figure out how far your pregnancy has progressed. A number too low may suggest that it is an abnormal pregnancy. Most other numbers by themselves do not help a lot but can be compared to another test done in 2-3 days to see if everything is developing normally. If you have been bleeding a lot, you may be anemic and need special care. If you have a fever, your white cell count may suggest a bad infection.
