4 weeks pregnant

Hi all! First timer here :) just tested positive for pregnancy two days ago and I am at 4 weeks 2 days now! Called the gynae and was told she would see me only on my 6th week and I didn’t have to do anything meanwhile. For now, would help if any one could help me on the questions below: 1) left side ovary pain for the past two days - feels like a low grade stitch or menstrual cramp. Is that normal? 2) do I need to see a GP or any doctor before my 6th week at the Gynae? 3) Friends told me to take folic acid + vitamins immediately and I bought one from Natures Aid - Pregnancy. But I don’t dare to take it. Should I take it or should I wait until my gynae visit? Picture of the supplement is here as well! #pleasehelp #advicepls

Congrats I'm in my 4th week now too w no.2 :) I've also been getting cramps from 12dpo (most intense on 14 and 15dpo) and it slowly eased. I didn't experience this w no.1 so I was a little worried but I read that it could be the uterus stretching too.. You don't need to see a GP or any other doctor. just wait it out til 6 weeks because that's when the heartbeat shd be present. I'm currently taking folic acid that I bought off the shelf at Guardian. in my first pregnancy I took folic acid til the end of first tri and then switched to obimin. enjoy your pregnancy ❤
