Whatever this means for you, go in prepared.
Private by design, and general guidance to help you make the most of your visit. Not a substitute for medical advice.
A pregnancy confirmation visit confirms a positive test and checks in on your health and dates. However you are feeling about it, a little prep helps you get clear answers and know what comes next. Here is what to prepare, what to ask, and how to follow up.
Note the first day of your last period and when you got a positive test, since this helps estimate how far along you are. Track any symptoms, including bleeding, cramping, or nausea, and how you have been feeling overall.
List your current medications and supplements, any past pregnancies, and relevant health history. If you are unsure how you feel about the pregnancy, it is okay to say so, and to ask about all of your options.
Expect your provider to confirm the pregnancy, ask about your history and dates, and talk through what happens next. Share your notes early, and take the space to ask anything, including about options, without pressure.
Take notes as the doctor talks, record the meeting (with their permission!) in myStoria, or add a quick voice note to myStoria as soon as possible afterward so that you are not relying on memory alone.
Before you leave the clinic, ask for copies of anything from the visit, like lab results, assessments, or referrals, and upload them to myStoria to keep your history complete. (If you aren't able to get copies, connect with Concierge and we can help you source them!)
Note the plan you agreed on and any appointments to book, and start any supplements your provider advised. Keep tracking symptoms so anything unusual is easy to flag.
If you have heavy bleeding, severe or one-sided abdominal pain, or shoulder-tip pain, seek urgent care rather than waiting. For questions between visits, contact your provider.
myStoria keeps your dates, symptoms, and questions in one private place, so your visit starts from a clear picture and nothing gets forgotten. Everything stays with you between visits, so each appointment builds on the last. When you want to talk something through, you can schedule a video consult in advance with a member of our team, several of whom are nurses.
This page offers general information to help you prepare for and follow up on your pregnancy confirmation visit. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
