Hi ladies, any of u experience bleeding & cramp in week 6?

Hi Josykw, you may Wanna give your Gynae a ring to at least have a peace of mind and understand your body.

As I mentioned to kitty88 before, my first pregnancy I spotted throughout my nine months, panicked umpteen times, went A n E etc given jabs n hormone pills... Some times pink , some times brown and even red. Cramps can be your expanding uterus too. And yes, usually when i cramp, I noticed I bleed or when I used force while puking. My son is now 19 mths and healthy.

However I do have one loss before too and same symptoms. So every body is different. Every pregnancy is different. Good to check and see what your gynae said.

Currently , I still do spot on and off as well like kitty88 but I now know that that's how my body works. Gynae mentioned some light brown is normal .

Hope you can check out with your gynae soon. Good luck ! :)

Hi s_loh,

You are currently pregnant?

Umm, not sure about pi pa gao, as seems that some of the ingredients got herbs inside. Perhaps can try reading their instruction manual.

Honey, I really do not know.

Better check with your gynae perhaps.
 
Kitty88,

In your case, when is the next scan or appointment with your gynae? You should double check with him or her if it is okay for you to go travelling during the first trimester; as most won't encourage you to do it.

When my nephew's wife pregnant with the son, they came to Singapore for 2 weeks for a holiday (that was back in 2011); coz the flight was around 5 hours plus, so probably due to overtiredness, when she arrived back in Shanghai, she got pink spotting the next day or so. Then went to hospital immediately. Dr gave her a jab and told her to bed rest most of the time. Then after 5 days, went back for scan, confirmed that baby's heartbeat and everything was okay, so she could go back to her normal routine. Dr quoted that probably due to exhaustion from the long trip which caused the pink spotting.
My next appt is 4th Sep. It will be before my trip. My trip will be I'm already at my 11 week. Did ask gynae she say I may travel. But have to move on the flight. Cannot sit all the way.

Hi ladies, any of u experience bleeding & cramp in week 6?
Yes , I've spotting on Fri and yesterday. You have to call your gynae if you are spotting. On Fri I have spot I guess is I've sneeze too hard. Yesterday I think I have uses some force. At first I was so worry about it As this is #1 and I even went a&e yesterday. Given hormoes jab and Med. Now I take it easy as now I know my body work this way now. Gynae told me as long as it's not heavy bleeding I'm fine. Light spotting do happen to some preggy in first trim.
 
Your spotting is what colour
This morning when I wipe after toilet was bright red, after that was ok. Now getting more and my pantyliner can see the blood. Waiting for my turn now, pray really hard everything will be fine.

If Edd is early apr. You may book appt with gynae already. Usually you may see little Beanie and heartbeat flickering at 6 weeks.
 
just to share, dont take spotting (esp fresh red) lightly. for my #1 i had spotting from brown to red and cramping since week 6 and i didnt do anything about it. gynae didnt seem to think its serious. then i had very heavy fresh red bleeding (like waterfall) in week 12 that led to threatened miscarriage. managed to keep baby with lots of jabs and pills and bed rest. so this time round the situation is the same, brown and red spotting, on bed rest since week 5 and pills too. dont wanna aggravate the situation. ladies please have as much rest as you can! like my gynae said, resting is such a cheap and brainless thing, but it's the most effective.

Thx Kitty! I just reached home. My babies are fine and can hear their heartbeat. The bleeding is really terrified me. Guess last few days I did sneeze and may cause some force & throwing out feeling after my meal may uses force too.

I understand how you feel . Good. Now you can ease your heart. Ya. Sometimes using force causes it too. Try to rest more also .
 
Thanks alot. Yes. I can't wait for Oct to come.

Take care all! I'm also waiting for Oct! I guess I can't hide my bump anymore.. (Just like the first pregnancy) my manager asked me and said people are asking her too and someone give up seat to me while taking the train home.. Haha

Yes. I had people giving me seat this morning.
 
Most of u can see bump now? I'm taking train to work too n always so packed during peak hour. Last Mon I almost fall coz 1 lady kept pushing me, no seat is fine but sometimes can't even hold on something while standing.

Glad to know U n beanies are fine! :)
Nope, can't see bump yet for me. For my first, my bump couldn't b seen till 5 months. Hope this time can be as compact too.
 
Hi Monika Sharma,

Remember to get letter from your gynae. saying that you are currently preggie, so do not have to go through the x-ray in the airport.
My appointment is on 30th and I am travelling before that. When consulted him,he said it's okay for me to travel.

Am traveling on 27th and the appointment is on 30th. During consultation,he said travelling should be fine. But am worried now. Will try to get the appointment earlier. Thank you so much :)
 
Weiwei13: hope your morning sickness improves! Mine swings good to bad.. But lately I found what I like to eat that doesn't cause waves of nausea! ✌️✌ so happy with my beverages like Horlicks n milo. With warm milk!! Fish really can die eating.. Used to love cod a lot.. Now.. It's a terrible dish for me. =(


Monika sharma: Hope your travels are easy. Do u have colleagues to travel with? U can te your gynae first and maybe he will give u some progesterone pills to stand by. *touch wood of course hope everything is well n u don't need*


CherieL: my #1 entering the terrible 2 stage!!! I fear there is going to be a lot of getting used to and jealousy. =(. What books can possibly teach me how to handle all these?? Sigh.


Just had a minor car accident last weekend. Spotted twice the day after. Called clinic up n they said to keep our bodies hydrated and try to rest in bed. Managed to rest quite a bit.. And luckily the spotting gone within the day. (I was so so worried plus still had to handle my #1 - it's tough being a mum!!!!) Keeping to my gynae appt next fri.... So excited to see little beanie again. And this time I must remember to ask about the harmony test!!


Hope everyone can get to see and hear stronger heartbeats soon!! =)
I'd be travelling alone. And my appointment is on 30th and am travelling before that. Could I get that pill over the counter?Could you please elaborate on the benefits. Thank you :)

I think you should book an earlier appointment to see the gynae before travelling.
 
Joeykw: Glad everything is fine!

I also realised my tummy is quite bloated now, cannot fit into my shorts anymore lol. I am going to the gynae clinic later on due to cramps, earlier than as scheduled date. Dr Tham is not available so I am seeing Dr Tan. My friend warned me that she might do internal check (quite roughly) -_- God bless me, lol...

Which hospital u going? At KKH, cramp or spotting they use something to poke in and u can hear the "cracking" sound when pushing in. How u feeling now? I do have cramp on n off too. How many week are u now? Take care ya!
 
I am going to Dr Tham at Thomson. But he's not free, so another gynae at the clinic will take me. For my first pregnancy, totally traumatised by KKH doctors, who did the internal probe. Even till now do PAP smear I am very nervous and worried haha! I think I am 4-5 wks. Thanks!
 
Just tested positive yesterday, went for blood test today at 5 weeks and 2 days.. Beta is about 1000. Is it a good number?

How is your cramp now? Drink.more warm water.
 
Thanks joeykw and Kitty88. Gynae prescribed Duphaston and advised me to stop breastfeeding because there might be a possibility that causes the cramps.

I'm not sure which gynae are u with, for me I went to KKH O&G. Maybe u shld go to your gynae tmr? Meanwhile don't move ard, lie down n rest...
 
s_loh, it's better to visit your gynae. Is the clinic open today? Private gynaes would be able to prescribe Duphaston or hormone jab. As your last choice, I would recommend KKH 24 hour O&G. The doctors there may not be gynae, but MO specialising in women related illnesses. From my experience, KKH would not prescribe Duphaston, which is the hormone pills to help stabilize.

Yes, that might be why you spotting. I carry something around the weight of a laptop. Before I had spotting. Not to carry any heavy thing. We might think the weight is alright. But maybe to our body is consider heavy already.

I agreed. And remember don't lift up 2 hands to get stuff, I used to do it in ofc to get files. If possible, don't move so much. Take care ladies, we'll be fine. jiayou!
 


Thanks all... Spotting had stopped since last night (fingers crossed) and I didn't go Gynae even though the clinic is open today be coz I already seen him when I'm at 4-5wks and he prescribed me with utrogestan

I guess he wldnt be able to do anything now? I hoping no more spotting n my next visit is thurs n will let him know..

So worried.. Stupid lappy!
