Hi everyone!
I just received my very first + pregnancy test today! I am a 24 year old L&D RN (been doing this for 7 months now) and while I know ALL about the end stage of pregnancy, I have NO idea what to do from here. I understand you see an OB, but don't know how that whole process with insurance works. Is it just like finding a primary care doctor? Just see who accepts your insurance and go with them? I assume you get your beta hcg done at your primary care physician and then make an appt with your OB? When does the OB typically start seeing you, at how many weeks? At what # of weeks do they typically do ultrasounds?
I feel very silly for having to ask these questions due to my profession but I honestly have no idea and I won't be working again until May 6th so I can't ask one of the doctors. It was our first month TTC and I really didn't think it would actually happen Thanks in advance!
