When to see a gynae and how to confirm pregnancy?

A couple of questions to ask. I’ve gotten a positive on the pregnancy test kit. Where do I visit to confirm the pregnancy via blood test? Does polyclinic do a blood test? Since it’s a bit pointless to do another urine test there if I’ve already done it at home? When should I start visiting a Gynae? Or visit a gynae as a 2in1 to confirm pregnancy through scan as well as for pregnancy advice? Thanks in advance! First time mummy here

Congrats!! :) From my experience, the polyclinics only do urine pregnancy test. You should visit the polyclinic if you need a subsidised referral to a gynae in a public hospital. not necessary to repeat the pregnancy test in poly. If you intend to find a private gynae, then you can just book an appointment within your first trimester. This is to make sure that the fetus is growing in the right location (in the uterus and not in the tubes), and to confirm the pregnancy visually via scan. if you go very early, might not be able to see on ultrasound yet, or may need to scan transvaginally.
