I called the surgery for my results (which came up great lol).
Asked if my test confirmed my pregnancy, nope it was only an antenatal screening. Lady called the IMVS for me and it hadn't been done but they still had some of my bloods left so they are going to do the HCG test and I can call for them tomorrow
If you want to go with a private OB, you need to book in pretty quickly. A lot of the popular ones you practically have to book the day you conceive
WRT diet - there's an article on BB somewhere about the Brewer diet. Nutrition in pregnancy is very important - not just to help grow your passenger and prevent defects, but the right nutrition can also prevent many pregnancy related illnesses. Don't just read about what NOT to eat, but also read up on what to eat at different stages.
If you're not taking a pre-natal vitamin, start taking one. You need the folic acid and other supplements.
Congratz on the pregnancy! I booked an obs privately about a week after I got my home BFP, which was just after my blood test confirmed it. I saw the obs on wednesday and he said I was maybe 4 days later than what I may be but kept the same due day anyway. I decided to go privately with this obs and the hospital he works at because of recommendations. Going privately is heaps more expensive than public, but you do see the obs every time you have an appointment (which is once a month) and they tend to have a little ultrasound so that they can check on the bub. However, some of the test, going private, like for the first trimester bloods, ( and I need to do CMV serology because i work in a virus lab) and the downs screening ultrasound are really expensive privately, so I'm doing them as a public patient, which you are completely entitled to do.
Its up to do, if you want to go public or private, but at least with private you can choose everything the way you want it to be.....but for a price
