Positive pregnancy test - what then?

25. mars 2025

I found out I'm pregnant and I would like to book the intravaginal ultrasound ( morphological exam). Since my first pregnancy test was negative and I was bleeding I thought I was not pregnant. I took a second pregnancy test which was positive after my belly grew. So I believe I'm at least 12 weeks. How I can book a ultrasound? Should I contact directly Landspítalinn even that I live in Hveragerði?

Thank you for the question.

Congratulations! I would advise you to contact a midwife at your nearest health centre. She can advise you on the next steps and give you an appointment at the maternity ward.

On our website you can calculate the estimated gestational age based on the first day of your last period. Based on that, you could book a 12-week ultrasound at Landspítali (call: 543 3256).

Good luck and best regards, Ilmur Björg Einarsdóttir, ljósmóðir.
