No: Pap test is to check fthe cervix for cancer. But doctor can check the uterus and if it is enlarged(they can check with their hands), they can suspect pregnancy. There is a blood test and a urine test to confirm or exclude pregnancy.

No: A pap smear does not function as a pregnancy test. On the other hand, there are subtle findings seen in the pap smears of pregnant women that would not be present if the woman was not pregnant.
