The crisis frequency of stress incontinence (SI) is known to be high among pregnant women. This preliminary study was performed to determine whether the diagnostic standard of the Q-tip test used in the diagnosis of SI in nonpregnant women is applicable to pregnant women. The Q-tip tests were performed regularly during pregnancy and after parturition on primipara (n = 71) and multipara (n = 55) who were not in SI crisis at any time during the pregnancy. The values measured in multipara were significantly higher than in primipara (p = 0.0001), and the tendency to be higher was more prominent at 2-5 months and 10 months of pregnancy. These findings show that different normal values of the Q-tip test are necessary for primipara and multipara.
