6w Extremely worried

Hi, I got my very 1st double lines on pregnancy test kit and went to get referral latter from polyclinic on 28 Feb. When will I hear from KKH? Do KKH give you ultrasound scans and blood test on your first visit? I'm 6w now. Extremely worried because I'm 41yo, first time pregnant. I hardly have any symptoms, except for no period and nauseous on an empty stomach. Should I go for a private scan first? I'm so scared the scan in KKH will tell me there's no heartbeat....

Aww congrats! Yes, they’ll usually do a scan for you on your first visit. If you’re visiting slightly earlier (~before 8 weeks) it might be a transvagina scan. All the best! :)

I am only week 5 pregnant and the nauseous has hit hard. The vomiting feeling comes frequently be it when I am hungry or even after I have eaten. But strangely, I only feel nauseous but have not actually vomitted before.

Spotting alert (help)

I’ve been experiencing spotting since my beta test (every 2 days). Did another blood test last week but nurse says my results are fine and refused to address the spotting case. Told me to wait until week 6 for the scan. The continuous spotting is so torturous, what should I do?

as long as it does not look like fresh blood/period & you dont have very painful cramping and back aches it should be fine :)

Nutrition and diet

I am currently week 4 pregnant but alrdy having so much cravings and constantly hungry. Is it normal? Able to share some nutrition and diet I should be getting instead?

It’s normal! I still eat almost everything moderately - always eat your greens, fruits with lower sugar and proteins. Drink more plain water to stay hydrated, maternity milk (optional but it got the nutrients that a pregnant mother needs, take note of the sugar percentage if you are conscious about sugar but to me once or twice a day is fine). Lesser sugary drinks like bubble tea (I still drink but once a week). You don’t have to go for a very strict diet as pregnancy itself is already very tiring. Just eat moderately! Remember to start eating your folic acid supplements now!

Positive on clearblue but today I got light red stains. Should I be worried?

Positive on clearblue (3 days before actual period) but today (1 day before my period) I got light red stains. Should I be worried? I am having sore boobs, light cramping and a little nausea with burping as a pregnancy symptom. Please help. I had a chemical pregnancy last 2 months and now I'm very anxious 😞 #TTC

Request for Hospitalisation Leave Due to High-Risk Pregnancy

Hi mummies. I am currently 5 weeks pregnant with my 2nd pregnancy. I have a history of two miscarriages and one extremely preterm labor in 2022 due preruptured of membrane . Because of my high-risk history, I am concerned about the risk of complications in this pregnancy. I also understand that I may need a cervical cerclage between 10-15 weeks. Given my condition, would it be possible to request hospitalisation leave (HL) until the procedure is done? I'm a subsidised patient in KKH by the way. TIA!

this will be determined by your gynae

Is it ok to use Nivea deodorant during first tri?

I’ve been using Nivea deodorant for the longest time before pregnancy. Wanted to check if it’s ok to continue using the roll on Nivea deo? Unsure as I read some articles mentioning that we should be careful of deodorants…

if unsure then stop using it then don't need to think so much
