Hi there, I was also a bit unsure about what to do as the system is different than in the UK, but I went to a regular GP to confirm the pregnancy (at just under 5 weeks) and he advised I contact the hospital. I made an appointment with the hospital for 7 weeks and had an early scan and heard the heartbeat etc - I didn't know if 7 weeks was too soon as in the UK you wouldn't have an appointment / scan that early, but the doctor said it was the right time (and if you're covered by insurance I guess there is no reason not to go to set your mind at rest). My next scan is at 11 weeks, the doctor will advise you when to book the next one for so don't feel too overwhelmed! Good luck!
