I’m currently week 7 day 6 & I tested positive.. any advices? #advicepls

May this pregnancy be a smooth one . Im kinda anxious and worried , paranoid at times too , knowing that ive had miscarriage last year .. :(

I went for my first ultrasound and the Gynae said could not detect any gestational sac or yolk sac. As per calculated by last period I was suppose to be 5 weeks. Doc said might be too early. But in the ultrasound, there could see a cystic space. Did anyone experience that? Does the cystic space means a baby is forming soon? Pls advice #firsttimemom

Hi ladies. I'm 40 and ard 5-6 weeks pregnant. This is my 3rd pregnancy and it's really unexpected. My 2 kids are already in their teens. I'm excited about this pregnancy but at the same time nervous and worried about it. Any good gynae to recommend at NUH for high risk and anyone with similar dilemma?

Hi, i just wanna ask. I'm late coming period and i test, i positive pregnant. So, i when to clinic do the check up, its state that i already 6 weeks pregnancy if calculate form the first day last my period, but when i do ultrasound, the doctor cant find heartbeat. Its is normal or i need to wait another week to do again ultrasound?

About 6 weeks in and been feeling light cramps that comes on and off. Is it normal? Had a miscarriage before so am quite scared. Did not experience the light cramps before.

I’ve just tested after missing a period and it’s positive. I’ve seen various discussion on public and private hospital for deliveries and choosing the right gynaecologist. I’m currently overwhelmed with information and can’t seem to make up my mind on public/ private hospital to then decide my gynaecologist. Can moms please share why you chose public/ private hospital and your consideration in choosing the right gynaecologist? Thanks in advance. #firsttimemom #advicepls #firstbaby Update: I’ve just went for my first appointment with KKH subsidised. I’m currently still deciding based on my experience with KKH subsidised to decide if I would be switching to private within the next couple of sessions. The whole appointment took about 2.5 hours which included the required scan, pee stick test, height and weight measurement and blood pressure test. We then had a consultation with a doctor who provided a brief explanation and understanding of our health condition as well as the EDD (expected delivery date). Subsequently, we waited for a short briefing about FTS Down syndrome test to decide if we would like to proceed with any of the test. Total cost of first visit: $240 After subsidies: $150

I am 5 to 6 weeks pregnant and feeling super irritable at everyone at home including my husband, FIL who stays with us, new helper, and my children when they dont listen. I am annoyed by their actions and bad habits I see everyday and having to mother everyone and nag even when they are already adults. I want to get away but I feel it will only be temporary. I try to be positive and forgiving but I cannot. Talked to them but still everyday there will be some form of annoyance they create to annoy. I feel super tired too working office hours and travelling to and fro at peak hours. My body muscles are sleeping and not ready for this pregnancy. I feel so depressed and tired. I want to feel happy about my pregnancy but my surroundings are too annoying 24/7. I am not exaggerating. Any ideas how to destress, calm down and be a loving person again and stop hating everything and everyone? I want to have a healthy mind and pregnancy but find it hard. I also worry if i will have any pregnancy complications due to my age 36 and my existing health conditions. I already have abit of subchorionic hematoma seem on ultrasound few days ago. It stresses me out to wait another month before the next appt.

Hi new mummies, wanted to ask for some advise. I had bleeding with no pain for 3 days in week 4 (not heavy but pink-red)… doc put me on duphaston and bleeding stopped However i noticed if I stand up for more than 20 mins I’ll have bleeding again :( but if I lie down got no issue? Bleeding is not heavy and no pain at all, but will be dark red… anyone can advise what to do? Very troubling :(

Hi mummies, I am 38 years old this year, a diabetic mummy to be. Any reccomendation for gynae handle high risk gynae preferred male gynae in mount A or TMC. Thank you!
