That seems rather silly??
Here in the US (at least where I am), you call and tell them you're pregnant and they set you up with your 8-week appointment. So you don't go in right away anyway. And no proof of pregnancy needed. Which to be honest sounded a little risky to me but hey, I'm sure if you really wanted to waste your time and money going to an appointment that was unnecessary then that's your bed to lay in.
What is Mal thinking of all this?
