You p*e on a stick. It’s positive.
You go to your GP. You get your bloods done.
And you’re told everything looks “fine”.
Because they ruled out:
HIV.
Rubella.
Syphilis.
But no one checked if your body actually has what it needs to grow a baby.
No proper iron assessment.
No deep dive into B12.
Thyroid barely scratched.
Vitamin D? Maybe. Maybe not.
Blood sugar? Often missed early.
So you’re exhausted…
dizzy…
anxious…
running on empty…
…and told “that’s just pregnancy.”
No. It’s not.
It’s under-tested physiology.
And I see it every single week.
This isn’t about blaming your GP.
It’s about understanding the system isn’t built for optimal.
If you’re pregnant (or trying), you need to know what to actually ask for.
Drop a “YES” and I’ll send you the full pregnancy blood test checklist.
