What should I do next?

Question

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!
