Women's doctor recommendations please!

Mommies, please help me out. I've just tested positive on two OTC test kits, including a ClearBlue one with a 2-3 weeks indication. When should I see a doctor at the clinic for confirmation? Any East side women's clinic/ob-gyn recommendations? #firstpregnancy #anxiousmommy

if you want to go east side, there's Thomson medical centre. If you are okay with central, KKH is good. Mount E, or Gleanacles are also popular choices for prenatal consultations. If you want cheaper subsidized care, you can try NUH or KKH, but in that case you cannot choose your gynae. Most of the time the gynae may change if you go public route. But the cost savings is quite huge between public and private, so it depends on your preference. Edit: Now that gov made some changes, subsidies is based on your income, so if you aren't earning much, the savings is huge (ive seen an acquantance as much as 60%-70% subsidy), but if you are high income earner, then the savings would not be as much, so if you prefer better service, better wards and the choice to choose your gynae and follow them throughout, then private may be a better choice.

Dr told me that cervix still high and tight during the last appt. I’m also experiencing frequent watery discharge like whole pad soaked by the next change - dr says it’s normal as long as not a gush of water trickling down your legs. I’m also having cramps and shooting pain pubic area every now and then. My butt feels sore/pressure too. Is bby gg down?#advicepls #anxiousmommy

Butt pressure n soreness could be your hips making way for baby as they move lower to get engaged n ready for birth, this will cause pelvic pain too. I did get increased discharge during last trimester, but it’s more thick n not as watery as you described. Then again everybody body is different. Cramps could be due to braxton hicks!

Brown Discharge

I’m about 5 weeks pregnant now and just noticed mucusy brown discharge when I went to the toilet. Is this normal or should I see a doctor? I’ve also been having slight cramping the past few days. FYI, this is my second pregnancy. First pregnancy was almost 3yrs ago and resulted in an emergency c-sect so would that have anything to do with my symptoms now? #anxiousmommy #pleasehelp

To clear your doubt away perhaps you should go to the doctor and raised your concern. I doubt it has to do with your previous C Section because the gaps pretty long.

Currently entering 8 weeks and super anxious. My next appointment is in 2 weeks time. Private route.

I have so many questions wondering if the baby inside is alright? Is he/she developing well? Are the foods I’m taking good enough? I always google the food before I eat them. I’m so scared I’ll lose this baby. This is my first pregnancy and I want everything to go smoothly. I’m so anxious, I’m so worried. The last ultrasound I had of this baby was at 6 weeks. Dr mentioned our next appointment will be 4 weeks later (at 10 weeks) at Mount Alvernia. I feel that it’s so late… At the same time, I know the Dr wants this to be at that specific week so we can do more tests (NIPT, FTS). Am I overthinking this? Should I just go for another ultrasound? Just to see how my baby is? So far I have no symptoms, just brown discharge that occured once and pain on my right side (kidney area). Alot of my colleagues have been telling me the pain on the side of the stomach is normal. I’ve received so many assurances but I’m still so scared. Idk why. 😭 Help. Also, any of you are following up at Mount Alvernia? Or have followed up there before? And which Dr? Is there any good Dr you want to recommend? I’m currently seeing Dr Jacqueline Jung and I think she’s friendly and experienced in minor invasive surgeries. Anyone who thinks otherwise? #pregnancy #firstmom #firsttimemom #FTM #anxiousmommy

Hi I’m in the exact same situation as you, have so many questions on my bb. It’s my first pregnancy and my last visit to the gynae was week 5, my appointment is 4 weeks later during week 9. Am week 8 now. I’ve got cramps too but it’s very minor, I think the anxiety is normal and there’s nothing I can do about it other than wait it out Right now I just want to stop feeling nauseous Let’s +u together!
