11 weeks first time mum

Hi! First time mum here. I'm currently 11 weeks. Haven't had my first ultrasound and my first appointment with NUH will only be in 3 weeks time. Feeling slightly anxious and paranoid about my baby as I've yet to see my baby via ultrasound. 😩 Is it normal to have the first ultrasound so late? Also, I'm gaining weight and I can't tell if I'm getting fatter or it's a baby bump 😂 how do you tell the difference? Previously I'm 49kg, standing at 154cm. Now I'm 53kg.

during scan doctor can advise estinated baby weight. so if baby weight is 500g, then u just minus from your weight gain? a lot of it is also water retention. that is why you may have swollen feet, hands etc too

You can see the growth of baby during the ultrasound. You can go to private gynae if you're anxious and don't want to wait any longer.
