  • Last Updated on January 2, 2023 by Neelam Singh Quick Take A social media post claims that pregnancy can be detected at home by mixing salt and urine. If the urine starts turning milky and cheesy, then the result is positive. However, if there is no change, then the woman is not pregnant. We fact-checked and found this claim to be False. The Claim A Facebook video with the caption, “DIY: Salt and Urine Pregnancy Test | Home Pregnancy Test | #saltandurinepregnancytest #soaccurate 👍” shares the procedure to detect the pregnancy by mixing urine and salt together. As per the video, if the urine starts turning milky and cheesy, then the result is positive, and if there is no change, then the woman is not pregnant. Fact Check How pregnancy gets confirmed? There are two types of pregnancy tests, namely, blood tests and urine tests. Beta hCG test is the blood test that is used to detect pregnancy. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone tissue typically found in early embryos and eventually becomes a part of the placenta. Along with this, a progesterone test is done to confirm the pregnancy. Other than the blood tests, urine tests may also reveal pregnancy by detecting the presence of beta hCG in the urine. Can pregnancy be determined at home using urine and salt? No. There is a lack of scientific data or medical backup suggesting that any element present in a person’s urine reacts with salt to indicate pregnancy. On researching, no published studies could be found supporting this claim. The explanation for the test believed that the hCG or human gonadotrophin present in a pregnant woman’s urine reacts with the salt causing a curdling reaction. But there is no scientific reason behind this. The only reason for accurate results could be due to the law of probability. Therefore, the claim stands false until proven otherwise. THIP Media has already fact-checked similar claims, such as baking soda can confirm the gender of an unborn child, and the sex of an unborn child can be predicted using bath soap.
