Booking first appointments

Haylee

I'm hoping to be able to book an appointment to confirm pregnancy at my doctors office next week so I can book in for an ultrasound soon after, but I'm curious, is a pregnancy confirmation at a local doctors necessary to be able to go for an ultrasound at a different location? I would rather just go straight to having my appointment at the hospital but I don't think I can without having a blood test etc at local doctors?
