So the story goes that I went to the GP on Monday to formally confirm the pregnancy and get referrals etc..... to cut a long story short - he didn't want to do a urine test and today when i called for the results it turns out that he didn't even test for a HCG level. I am a little concerned A) because I want a medically confirmed pregnancy - not just from something I bought in coles and B) because HCG is a good indicator of both how far along you are and of the health of the developing foetus (i.e. HCG level going up = good).

But alas - from him I have nothing except a form to get an ultrasound at 12 weeks. (at what I THINK is 12 weeks) He didn't even seem to think I needed a referral to an OB/gym - I am very concerned because this is our first, it is unplanned and because we aren't telling anyone just yet I don't have anyone to ask about how normal this kind of response from the GP is.

What have been your experiences with the GP?
