Z32: Pregnancy examination and test

Z32.1: Pregnancy confirmed

Pregnancy confirmed (Z32.1) signifies that a woman has been tested and found to be positively carrying a fetus. This status of pregnancy is usually identified via positive pregnancy tests, which can either be home-based urine tests or blood tests done in a clinic. The confirmation is typically made around the time a woman misses her menses. Pregnancy ushers in various physical and hormonal changes in the body. Common early symptoms include missed periods, tender breasts, nausea, vomiting, increased urinary frequency, and fatigue. As the pregnancy progresses, so do the physical changes, such as an expanding belly and weight gain. This condition involves the female reproductive system with the development of the fetus primarily occurring in the uterus. Confirmation of pregnancy is a natural condition that brings about radical yet thoroughly normal changes to a woman's body.
