What to do now?

Hi fellow mummies, this is my first pregnancy and I am currently estimated 5w as calculated from my prev menses first day. I have found out that I was pregnant last week by doing two times preg kit using Clearblue. I also called up KKH for an appt next week.. meanwhile I am constantly having dull cramps (mild) and often having huge appetite and constant hunger. What do you all usually do during this waiting period? And are my symptoms normal? TIA!

Yes your symptoms are normal! Do expect to feel cramps for the next few weeks too as i experience it until i was 8-9 weeks or so. For now try to eat healthy and take care of yourself. Also very important to start taking folic acid during first trimester (im using blackmores).

I dont remember the mg but i only took 1 tablet a day, as 400mg is already sufficient

Good to be able to eat. I haven been able to keep food down and have already lost coming 4kg. Saw my gynae on week 6 (it has only passed one wk now omg) and managed to see thru ultrasound.

Yes it’s normal! Just have to wait patiently for the appointment and don’t do any vigorous exercise!:) I have similar symptoms too I wake up v hungry!
