Week 5 Pregnancy

I'm in my week 5 pregnancy and I've not gone to see a doctor for a check up. Is it ok? When is the suitable time I should go or should I just go ASAP for a check?

Week 5 is quite early and you would hardly be able to see the baby in the ultrasound. Week 8-9 should be better. You may go polyclinic and get referral to your preferred hospital first. In the meanwhile do start on the folic acid tablets, if you aren't on it currently. Doctors recommend it to start taking them when you start trying to conceive. Folic acid helps in baby's neuro and spine developments and that happens mainly in the first trimester. So don't wait until you see a gynec to start taking folic acid.
