Blood test?

Question

My doctor told me I didn't have to get a blood test. I feel like I should? Thoughts?!

Answer

You don't need a blood test to confirm pregnancy unless there are issues and they want to look at HCG level.

Answer

Not everybody checks a blood test to confirm pregnancy, the urine tests are quite accurate.

At some point you do need to have other blood work to find out if you have hepatitis B, HIV, immunity to rubella, check your blood type, and that sort of thing.

Answer

Mine didn't want to either but I insisted! They said "oh if you've had multiple HPT's that were positive you are pregnant." I thought that was weird. So they did one to confirm. Now waiting until June 19th for my 1st 8 week official OB appt!

Answer

On my first appointment, I had an ultrasound, saw the doctor and then did bloodwork to check my levels. The ultrasound confirmed the pregnancy. I was 9 weeks at the time.

Answer

I didn't have a blood test or even an in office urine test. They "confirmed" my pregnancy by checking to see that my uterus is enlarged and my cervix is closed. Also the fact that I had a positive HPT and had missed two periods as my first visit was at 8 weeks. My first ultra sound will be my 20 week scan in two weeks
