Pregnancy Test

Most women who suspect they may be pregnant will first take a home pregnancy test. But after a positive test result on your own, it’s very important to visit your doctor for a second, more sensitive test to confirm whether you are pregnant and ensure early treatment for any health conditions that may impact your baby. Your second pregnancy test will likely be another urine test, followed by a blood test. Next, your doctor may also order a sonogram to see how far along you are in the pregnancy. While still early in your pregnancy, you will likely also undergo a transvaginal (internal) ultrasound to more accurately detect fetal age.
