Does Doctor S Suggestion To Take An Appointment For Prenatal Care Means I M Pregnant?
I recently took a HPT and the result was positive, but other than fatigue I feel like ive had no pregnancy symtoms. Also my home life has been very stressful. Last week I was in the ER for a migraine and the doctor wanted to test my urine for pregnancy and protein. The doctor called me back 24 hrs later and asked me to make an appt for prenatal care but did not tell me whether or not the pregnancy test or protein test came back positive or negative. I don t know whether to tell my husband we might be expecting or not and I do not want to get my hopes up either. We really want to have a baby. So I guess what Im asking is in a doctors opinion do I start getting my hopes up or should I be worried that something is wrong?

Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,
If you have had a positive pregnancy test and your doctor has asked you to consult for pre-natal care, yes it does mean that you are pregnant, Congratulations.
You need to start taking Folic acid if you have not yet started taking it.
Also you need to get a physician opinion for your migraine as migraine headaches can increase or decrease in pregnancy and needs special attention. Also the medication you are on need to be discussed as they should be safe in pregnancy.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
