Worried Mom

Im currently at 4 weeks pregnant. When to poly yesterday to get referral letter and was told that the hosp(NUH) will call within 2 weeks. I had a miscarriage twice. Baby no heartbeat and cervical ectopic. Is it too late to wait? So far no bleeding. Only minor stomach cramps on/off. I also read from some forum that they will only ask to you come for appointment when you are at 12weeks pregnant. Isit true? #advicepls #pleasehelp

Too early to see anything. Best & the recommended week to go for a scan is at 8 weeks and above. I had a miscarriage a year before I got pregnant again. I went to the polyclinic for a referral to NUH at 6 weeks pregnant last year and got my first appointment ultrasound at 10 weeks + pregnant. Just so you know, there's really many pregnant women this year and the waiting time for the referral may be long. But do check the Healthub app. If you want a piece of mind you can opt for a private scan until you see the gynae at NUH but don't be alarm if they can't detect anything yet cos really, 4 weeks is way too early to see a fetal pole or a heartbeat. Also if you base your pregnancy on your LMP, it may not be accurate. You could be earlier than 4 weeks or probably later than that.
