Week 6 · 1st trimesterFirst GP appointment — into the Irish system

"If the test was positive, you're pregnant"

I'm in week 6 now, and I had my first GP appointment this week. To be honest, I expected them to do a blood test to officially confirm it, but the doctor just asked about my dates and said if the home test was positive, I'm pregnant. Simple as that! Still, I'm glad I went because it gets me into the system and gave me a rough idea of how the maternity hospitals here work. This week, I'm feeling a strange mix of anxiety and excitement. I'm just trying to keep my thoughts positive—I'm sure everything will be fine!
