Melancholy, mini1c3, welcome!
8th week will be to check the heartbeat! A major milestone!

Mine will be in 2 weeks time so hoping to take it easy and pace myself until then.
 
A big harlo to all May mummies!

I have yet to see gynae but by calculation I should be May mummy? Haha!

Btw, anyone seeing Dr Joycelyn Wong from ACJ at TMC?

mrsxu sometimes I get a jolt of pain in the lower abdominal too. But I have no bleeding or anything.

Mrs Wang, how many weeks are you? I am about 6 weeks but I do not have any morning sickness.

My next apt is 21 Sept to check heartbeat. I hope there is something then so I can keep progressing to the next stage. Just feels uneasy as as it is so early days and not out of red zone yet.

Hello! Congrats to all MTB!

My first appt will be on the 21st Sep too. This will be my first child so I'm very excited but also anxious as I had a chemical pregnancy once. So i'm a little paranoid this time round.

Been feeling nauseous for the past few days. I just pray that I can see the yolk sac and hear the heartbeat on the 21st.

Hi there,

I am also a first time mum-to-be in approx May 2014.

I would like to know if anyone can tell me when I should make first appointment with on. I am planning to book at KKH.
What happens at first appointment and what kind of costs are involved?

Thanks in advance....

Congratulations!
When I went the first time, it was very early in my pregnancy, maybe 2-3 weeks.
So we did a blood test only. The next visit was to discuss my blood test results which confirmed the pregnancy and also results of the standard hepatitis, herpes, etc including Toxoplasmosis (which all showed negative which was good). Then I had an intra-vaginal scan to confirm that the pregnancy was in the right place (not ectopic) and we measured the yolk sac and gestational sac. This was around 5-6 weeks.
I will go back for another visit at week 7.5 to check for a heartbeat. So that's a major milestone I'm aiming for.

I am sorry I cant comment on costs as I go to a private doctor at Mt E. It won't cost much I reckon for the first visit including blood tests (mine was about 250 I think)

I have no symptoms but my breasts have grown a lot and hurts a lot with visible veins

Hi Jojosnake *waves*
ive been getting more messages from people saying they dont have ms and they are quite advanced in their pregnancy so hoping mine is a sticky bean!


anyway I thought I could share with you girls what my naturopath suggested for me
- prenatal vitamins called Thorne Basic Prenatal and DHA Nordic Naturals
- continue with Folic acid/ folate
- eat a lot of proteins, coloured veges, non-organic meat if poss
- suggested Free Range eggs (I forgot the eggs brand but it only comes in a 6 pack and is in gray and green box)
these eggs have less hormones in them
- lay off caffeine including milo and cocoa like dark chocolate

Hi ...

i'm a first mummy to be .... i tested positive for pregnancy last Monday and went to see gynae ( Dr Adrian ) for ultrasound but doc cant scan anything.
He suggested to go to Thomson for first trimester viability scan but still scan nothing :( ... gynae later asked for blood test and asked to visit him today. But am worry it is still early to scan so thinking to change to Thu ...

I didn't realize that I'm pregnant and I ate raw cockles and fish :( ... and didn't aware that batang fish contains mercury and I'm been consume it like 3 times per week :( ... very worry now ....

Hi, could it be just still too early to see anything? Are you about 3-4 weeks?

I wasnt able to see gestational sac until week 5-6 actually.

I understand your worries about fish and mercury poisoning but i think you did not expose yourself for too long so it should be ok. We have always heard of many mums not knowing they were preg until much later and have been doing all sorts of drinking, etc.

Rest well in the meantime and eat well too, that's the best you can do for your baby! (thats what I tell myself)
