Congratulations! Your pregnancy test is positive!
Your pregnancy's length: the "gestational age," is calculated from the FIRST day of your LAST menstrual period. You are seen for your initial visit at 6-7 weeks from the start of your last period. A full history and physical is performed, and the pregnancy is visualized with state of the art fetal ultrasound. Appropriate lab specimens are obtained.
Options for genetic testing are offered. You learn more about healthy pregnancy habits and you will go home with our own Seven Oaks Women's Center healthy pregnancy booklet as well as other educational information about pregnancy.
(If it is also time for your "Well Woman Exam," this can usually be performed on the day of your initial pregnancy visit.)
