Pap smear: A pap smear is a test for cervical problems. A pelvic exam at the same time might detect the suspicion of pregnancy depending on how far pregnant a woman is.

Not necessarily.: Early pregnancy is a diagnosis made by urine or blood tests with or without ultrasound - not by history and physical examination. Your gynecologist could certainly miss an early pregnancy by just examining you and performing pap smear screening.
