Blood test

Hi mummies! Anyone did blood tests to see how far along is the pregnancy during the early first trimester before the dating scans? I previously did at a GP but don’t wish to go back to the same clinic as the doctor was not good at drawing blood. Does anyone have any clinic to recommend?

The blood test may not accurately tell u how far along you are. Dating scan is more accurate:) For an estimate, would you consider using your last menstrual period instead? There are many free pregnancy calculators online based on LMP

Dating scan appointment is a month from now and I thought a blood test would make a good gauge (just in case it is further than I thought). Have been breastfeeding my daughter and so my mesntrual cycle has not been very regular or normal ( just a day or two of spotting, no flow). Hence, what I thougt is my LMP might also not be an LMP.
