PAP smear and pregnancy

I was wondering when you go and get a papsmear could that show if you are pregnant. Or do you have to get a pregnancy test.

Pregnancy test kits measure the amount of HCG in your urine. There would be no way for a pap smear to tell if you are pregnant or not.
OB/GYNs usually test urine as a routine before performing the pap smears though.
