Q: Blood Versus Urine Tests

Hey y'all I was just wondering if there was a difference between a blood and urine test...Besides the obvious. I did 4 home pregnancy tests and they all came back positive and the test the hospital did was a urine test and they said it was positive. So, i'm assuming i'm indeed pregnant, but I dont feel like it and i'm worried that i'll get excited and then find out 5 tests prooved otherwise. Any advice? Oh, i'm probably only 4 weeks so maybe thats why I dont feel like its real yet???

Well at only one month the baby is like a seed so of course you wont feel anything at all. The blood test is always a for sure positive or negative, once the results come back, then thats what it is. With the urine test the results might not be so accirates depending to the time you took it to the hormones in your urine. Thats why they ask to take it a few times. So if you took 4, im pretty sure that you are. But your only a month so a blood test will help to back up the positive results.
