Birthclub: December 2024

Hi there i am having my very first pregnancy! I went for first scan last week (supposedly 10w if based on last menstrual date), however the doctor was unable to detect a heartbeat and i was advised to come back in another week to determine if baby has grown. I went to the a&e 3 days later as i experienced some bleeding and then found out that i am actually 6w2d based on the ultrasound and that the foetus has grown slightly. However, still no heartbeat and the gynae in charge mentioned to still come back on the repeat visit. Today was my repeat visit and after the ultrasound, there was still no heartbeat and baby has not really grown from the last a&e visit (this was approximately 4 days later from the a&e visit when i had the bleeding). I do not experience much bleeding anymore and the gynae still wants me to come back in another week’s time just to see if the pregnancy is still viable (i would be 7 weeks then). Should i even come again next week or wait till i’m supposedly maybe 9-10 weeks? It’s quite mentally draining when there’s no heartbeat and i feel super anxious knowing what’s the next outcome (it could really still be early). Would love to hear any advice please thank you so much!

I am at wk10 and still suffering from the preg symptoms. Just curious on the types of exercises that all mums are taking at this period of time

Just sharing thoughts because 1st can feel quite lonely at times with no to few people to talk to about the pregnancy since many don't know yet. Next routine scan at 14w, 6 weeks from my precious scan. Feeling uncertain how baby is doing since this is a vulnerable time with higher risk of loss. But got to wait for another 4 weeks, feels like forever! Wondering if I should tell my family only after the 14w scan to be on the safer side or at 12w when supppsedly im in 2nd tri. Haish.

Will hospital proceed with nipt test if I have a cold?

Gynae on holiday in Dec. Few options provided - find a new gynae who will be available in Dec - have the replacement gynae to delivery - induced labour earlier to be delivered earlier Which would u all choose

Hi mummies! Im currently 13 and half weeks pregnant. Im feeling some twitches around my belly area. Can it be the baby’s movement?

Woke up because of sharp pain on lower right abdomen. No bleeding, slight constipation but manage to purge out waste. Pain did not subside. Saw gynae and now monitoring. Wondering if any mummies encountered this and how long did it take to resolve? Took some biscuits at 10.30am. Vomited as soon as I reached home from clinic at about 1.45pm. No hunger or appetite, 3.40pm now. Thanks in advance!
