A noob question

I went to GP (week 5 plus) cos was feeling nauseous and thought it was my gastric acting up but took a pee test and it came out positive. booked for gynae appt at almost week 6 cos wanna seek remedy for my nausea and wanna do an ultrasound sound scan to ensure there's embryo and is growing. meanwhile, GP advised me to take folic acid and told me to buy from pharmacy at guardian or Watson. it's 5mg/tablet, $4 for 40 or 50 tablets.

For my case , since this is my 2nd pregnancy . Tbh i plan this pregnancy. So around 13 dpo (date past ovulation) i start taking pregnancy test . And theres a line . I wait for my suppose menses date , then i go poly to confirm the pregnancy and also get a referral letter to kkh . As i going for the subsidies route . Around 6-7 weeks of pregnancy u can go book gynea or go poly . Coz too early also they only can see the sac .

congratulations!! I'm also a FTM passed 35 yrs old, I was in shock too when I got my first positive. Waited until late at night to tell my husband about it as I needed abit of time for the info to sink in me first and think of how to tell my husband. I went to the private gynae the next day for a checkup and to get folic acide and duphaston. Since we are older, I think it's ok to be more kiasu to see the gynae as early as we can.

Go to polyclinic for referral if u plan to go down the subsidised route! Else look up any gynaes first n slowly source for a "better" one. They'll prescribe u folic acid at this stage

Congratulations! You can start to book your Gynae at week 6 - or 7 then they might be able to do a scanning - so you can see the baby and hear the heartbeat :)

you can book your gynae or get a refferal from poly asap! congratulations 🎈
