Is work from home during 1st trimester frowned upon by other colleagues?
I have requested to work from home during my 1st trimester due to very bad symptoms such as morning sickness (more like all the time, anytime sickness), lower back aches, nausea, vomitting and lethargy. My boss is female and she is alright with it, but I can't help but feel that my other colleagues would frown on me. I am still doing the same workload (if not more) and putting in the same hours (if not more), but I just don't participate in face-to-face meetings (unless I am absolutely needed, i will call in via teams). Some colleagues know of my pregnancy, but others don't. I do want to return to office but I am really not 100% well and do not want to gross anyone out if I were to accidentallly projectile vomit in office. I know I am in a privileged position to be able to work from home, but should I at least make the effort to come to office despite not feeling 100% well?

Will MC be issued for 1st Prenatal Appointment?

I drink half a cup of carbonated drink to ease the gassy feeling
I usually don’t drink carbonated drinks by choice. But ever since i got pregnant, i am so bloated and gassy. Farting and burping randomly is so normal for me. But at night, i cannot burp or fart and its very uncomfortable. So after dinner, i would drink half a cup of a&w or root beer. Is there any other option beside drinking gassy drinks? Idw this to be a habit or a routine.
Week 5 day 6 no symptom
Tested positive last week and sore nipples started. Other than that no other obvious symptom. No nausea, morning sickness. Is it ok? First doc appointment next week. Feeling anxious as I had a missed miscarriage last year.
Discharge changed after Dydrogesterone at Week 6
I am currently in my 6th week of pregnancy, and I found out I had bleeding (not heavy). I went to the doctor immediately. The doctor gave me Dydrogesterone, 3 tablets 2 times per day. After taking the Dydrogesterone, my discharge has obviously changed; it is very yellowish and thick. Is this normal?
Medicated oil for gassiness
In first tri and apples and oranges are my best friend for morning sickness. But stomach still feels very gassy at times. Any mummies using certain medicated oils to relieve gassiness? Is yuyee oil okay?
Bleeding during 1st trimester
I’m currently about 6 weeks pregnant. Had pink spotting this morning when I went to pee. Then during noon time, had abit of red/brown bleeding. Should I go to A&E? Do I need to be hospitalized?
How long does it take to schedule an appointment at NUH via referral letter from polyclinic?
Im currently at 8 weeks pregnant and I am worried I will miss the chance to do some tests that can only be done during 1st trimester. Have not gone for any pre-natal appointment as I only found out I am pregnant at 7 weeks. This is my first time being pregnant after trying for 4 years and I am worried if pregnancy is viable or not. I have been consuming over the counter folic acid from watsons, 500mg + 800mg, is that too much? Thank you!
I'm thinking of going to SGH for delivery. Anyone have any experience to share and any gynae recomm?
