The first records of pregnancy tests date back to ancient Egypt. It was a very unusual method for us today, which was actually quite precise.

A woman who suspected she was pregnant would pee in the bowl where she put barley and wheat. She left it for a few days, and if the seeds were crooked, it indicated her pregnancy.

By this method they even determined the gender of the child. If she just ran barley, then the woman wore a girl, and if it was wheat, it was a sign that she would have a son. This type of pregnancy test was accurate in 70 percent of cases.
Modern scientists have decided to study this method a bit more closely, and in 1963, laboratory testing came to the conclusion that the seeds were likely to overshadowed due to elevated levels of estrogen, and it stimulated growth.

However, part of the testing of old Egyptians related to the sex of the child was unable to explain or confirm that this is a veritable evidence.

While the old Egyptians were quite content with their method, the ancient Greeks had their own. Doctors advised women who are not sure whether they are pregnant or not, that they put a piece of port in the vagina and hold it in the night.
If she smelled the onion the next morning from her mouth, it showed no pregnancy.

This strange method was based on the idea of how her bowels were open and the scent of the port was as a tunnel came to her mouth. In the case of pregnancy, the uterus is closed and so does the tunnel.
I always wondered how the ancient Egyptians, and the Native American women knew they were pregnant.
