Early pregnancy
Are home pregnancy tests accurate or should I come in for a pregnancy test?In recent years, home pregnancy tests have become very reliable when used at least one week after your missed period. Follow the instructions carefully. If the test is positive, call your doctor, nurse practitioner or certified nurse-midwife to schedule your first obstetrical visit.
If I am pregnant when should I schedule my first appointment?Call for an appointment as soon as you know you are pregnant. Your visit with a doctor, nurse practitioner or certified nurse-midwife occurs at eight weeks to 10 weeks after your last period. You will be asked the date of your last period, so we can help you schedule an appointment at the right time.
