With my first pregnancy they sent me for all those tests and a ultrasound. The ultrasound was completely useless cos they couldnt see anything because it was too early. Medicare only cover u for 1 ultrasound in the first half of pregnancy and 1 in the second half (god bless Johny Howard) so when I went for my 12 week and then 18 week I had to pay the whole lot. The doctor did seem ticked off with me about not turning up sooner to see her about the pregnancy (i was about 8 weeks). So when I feel pregnant the second time I knew exactly when the baby was concieved so I didn't really need the ultrasound. I'm booked in for the 12 week one. If u know exactly when u concieved there isnt really any need for the ultrasound I guess. I know how u feel though. I was thinking about going back to the doctors last week and asking for the ultrasound. I suggest u might go back to your doctor and talk with them about your pregnancy. It will give u piece of mind. The tests that u had done are the usual bloods they run when u get pregnant so at least your doctor did something right.
