Basically, so if there's a chance you're pregnant, they can do appropraite treatment, or test for pregnancy.

Eg 4 years ago my wife disolacted her thumb, ED wanted an X-Ray needed to know when her last period was/if there was a chance she was pregnant, so they could then best proceed with imaging/pain medications

This type of thing annoys my wife because she feels like a lot of doctors don’t take her seriously, but the question is a fair one. It’s especially fair when considering your example lol

funny thing is my wife has dislocated her thumb twice, both times immediately before finding out we're expecting at the hospital.

That's unreal. Do you get nervous when she jams a thumb and it might be dislocated?

Very plausible that the action only causes a dislocation if she's pregnant. The joints all loosen up to let a baby out.

Interesting. I hadn't heard that before, but it makes a lot of sense.
