Hi Ladies,

As most first time pregnant ladies, I think I am being paranoid...But what better way to help me out than the trusted women at BB!

I found out at four weeks that I was pregnant...I did 2 x POAS and headed straight to the GP. She said that I didn't need any other tests because a BFP is a BFP, so I didn't get any HCG or anything like that (I also had blood tests done before TTC so I knew iron, folate, rubella etc were all fine).

So I had my first appointment with the Ob a couple of weeks ago and all went well and I am really happy except he doesn't have an US at his office so my first US will be at the 12 week NT scan.

I just feel like is hasn't 'offically' been confirmed and sadly a close friend recently had a missed miscarriage so I am a little paranoid I guess.

Sooooooo..... My question is, is this normal NOT to have blood tests and no scans until 12 weeks?
Also, do most Obs have an US machine or only some?

Thanks everyone
