Hi Gin,
I guess is up to individual if you want to see the gynae earlier or not. At week 6 which u are like me, can see the heartbeat liao. Some prefered to wait till like 8 weeks then go and see gynae. My next appointment is early Aug, which I will be 9 weeks by then.
I am one that prefer to see the gynae earlier. Dont you want to see ur bb? At least u can see a sac, a heartbeat, your water bag etc. My gynae is at gleneagles, will deliver there.
Most would only need folic acid. I take thrice daily, morning, lunch and evening. And was prescribed hormone pills to protect the bb as I had a miscarriage the last time. And also I had wee bit spotting too. So it depends on the gynae, if he feels u need, then he will prescribe.
You can purchase the folic acid at guardian pharmacy, they sell much cheaper leh.
