I've taken a home pregnancy test, and it was positive, I'm so happy! When should I ideally go to the doctor to confirm the pregnancy and start my prenatal care?
Beta, jab tumhara test positive aaye, uske do hafte baad doctor ke paas chali jana. Wo ultrasound karke sab theek se bata denge. Bhagwan tumhari jodi salamat rakhe.
Because of my PCOS, I called my doctor immediately after my positive test because I needed progesterone support. Generally, 6 to 8 weeks is when they do the first scan. Don't wait too long if you have any history of irregular cycles.
Once you get a positive home test, you should ideally visit around the 6th or 7th week. They will do an ultrasound to check the heartbeat. I did the same, and even though my delivery was a C-section later, starting care early helped me heal well.
Hey! Once u see those two lines, just book an appointment for sometime in the 7th or 8th week. No need to rush the very next day and stress yourself out. Just enjoy the news and relax!
I remember my mother advising me to go around the 7th week so we could hear the heartbeat clearly. We went together as a family and it was such a beautiful moment. It's best to fix an appointment around then.
