What should I do next?

Hi mummies, this is my first time getting pregnant and I dont know what to do. It says on the app that im 5 weeks in, and I took the home kit test twice - it shows positive. Do I go poly and tell them I wanna get a blood test or smth? Or GP only does it? If theres like a map/timeline of what to do, when to do what, it would be really helpful huhu >_

Hi fellow mummy to be! For me, when I found out Im pregnant after I tested positive, I book an appointment at the polyclinic to get a referral to the public hospital (for a subsidised route). Doctor at the polyclinic will ask which hospital and get everything settled for you (by calling the hospital etcs). About a week after, the hospital will send you a sms for your first prenatal appointment where usually they will send you for a scan and do some health checks (bmi, urine test, bp etcs). Any follow up appointments will then be set for you from there on :) Im afraid I cant provide any guidance for private route. Cheers!

thank you Serene!

Congrats on your pregnancy! You can go to either your polyclinic or GP for a blood test to confirm, both will do it no problem. I'd suggest polyclinic first since it's usually faster and cheaper, just tell them you've got a positive home test and want confirmation. After that they'll refer you to KKH or your chosen hospital for your first scan around 8-12 weeks, and they'll give you a proper timeline then for all your appointments and checkups ahead. Don't worry, once you start the system they make it pretty straightforward with dates and what to expect at each stage.
