Hi Valerie, 37.5 is very mild fever. I think just sponge yourself with cool water and monitor your temperature. Anyway it's common for pregnant woman to have a slightly higher temperature. My temperature is hovering between 37.3 and 374 but I'm not feverish. I know coz my toddler is sick, every time I want to measure her temperature I have to measure my own temperature then she will let me measure.
hi all mommies, my wife just tested positive few days back. her edd as we calculated should be november as well. we havent see any gynas yet though. this is her second pregnancy as she suffered from a miscarriage last november. need all the advice we can get with regards to gynae visits and recommendations. sincerely hope someone can get back to us for this. thanks all

Hi Valerie,
Progesterone pills are given if there is spotting or risk of miscarriage. The usual meds that we get on first visit is folic acid, calcium pills.

Hi ngappy,
If your wife has miscarried before, it would be good to get an early appointment with gynae. There are hormone pills that can be prescribed to stabilize the pregnancy. Hope it goes well with you!

Hi all. If anyone else know the good doctor recommendation for me at Gleneagles Medical Centre? Because 32 specialist gynaes are listed on website, furthermore this is my first time gynae. That's why If you have any recommendations, please share with me. My concern is costwise. I won't mind to go other places. Thank you.

1st time mommy. Expected delivery end Oct. Went to see the gynae last week for the 1st time as I was expecting some business trip this week. Gynae noticed some blood from ultrasound, and suspected I exercised too hard earlier, which I did. Got hormone pills, and cancelled all my business trips

Hi mummies, im having spotting for the 4th day, had some mild cramps on the 2nd day but subsequently the cramp have stopped but light spotting still there, issit normal? i have not tested yet as my period was supposed to be due this saturday.
Im 35 this year, quite worried that my body might be weak.

How about testing? Mine was supposed to be due this Friday and so far both my test kits say positive. Spotting usually means it's a bit unstable, did you exert yourself physically?

oh dear...spotting means its unstable? I only did light exercise and yoga, been taking folic acid since dec. I thot its still too early to test so was waiting till i really miss my period. Im still having spotting, now im worried.
Test and let your heart be light

agree with kokomi142. just test on those strips first. 
Yes we made an appointment with Dr Khoo this Saturday for a first appointment! Thank you so much for the advice
Welcome to the club! I missed those days when I conceived #1. Wahaha. Now with #2 I'm just thinking about logistics and all the practical things.

kokomi142, based on your experience, usually on which week week should we schedule for first scan? its my first pregnancy and I'm trying not to put any high hopes yet.
hi all, i just got a positive pregnancy test yesterday! according to the fertility friend app, i ovulated on 26 Feb, which would make me about 2 weeks along (16DPO). when should i schedule an appointment with the doctor? the problem is that i'm temporarily based overseas for work and will only be back in Singapore in May! i saw another post earlier where someone said no point going before 7 weeks??? so should i have an appointment before i return to Singapore, just to check on things, or wait til i go back?
I scheduled my first visit at the end of my 7th week! I heard that unless you have spotting or previous m/c experiences, there is no need to go gynae cause the doctor will not be able to test or scan anything other than to confirm the pregnancy. Unless if you want to do a blood test or something to check HCG level? Haha I also very new so must see what the experienced mothers say! Congrats btw!!!

I'm keen on WhatsApp group too .. anybody can add me in ?? I jz tested positive on 10th march . Haven't schedule any gynae appointment as I'm in oversea. Found light spotting for 3 days.. makes me very worried. This is My first pregnancyKeen on what's app group too
I'm having the same question. I tested positive and on clear blue pregnancy Kit it says I'm 3 weeks plus (that's the max it can show) I suspect I'm 5 weeks and suffering from nasty gags and giddy spell. Today was quite bad.
Can't eat well too. I'm excited yet anxious, when is the time that we should check at the gyne? When should I decide what gyne to use? Or should I just go for a generic scan first?
Some people shop for an obgyn while others just try one and stick to it as long as they feel comfortable. It's up to you but private obgyn have appointment packages that start from week 20 usually. So once you decide on that you shouldn't switch
Maybe you can get a scan done at your current location? Then call a SG obgyn and schedule an appointment due in May?
I think we are all cautious in the early days
that's why I am not joining any Facebook or WhatsApp group until it's stable. Would like to keep some privacy at this stage Just call and the nurses will know when to schedule your appointment

Think i just had an early miscarriage...woke up this morning with heavy bleeding (red blood with clots) and almost fainted. Im still in week 3 i think. Was gonna have it tested today but i guess there is no need for the test now.

@mitch131460, I'm sorry to hear that. Perhaps give your gynae a call. I believe at 3 weeks, they can do blood tests to determine HCG levels.
@kokomi142 Thank you so much. I don't know why i cannot send you over message as PM. anyway if anything happen, i try to reach you again.
@xueyu Thank you for advising me. later i make a phone call to the clinic.

cramping is also part of pregnancy symptom, so it's a good sign?

anyone care to share which gynae you use? I previously used Irene chua but she seems really busy this round and also had bad review since 2016 I am thinking twice to go to her.
Mind sharing what happened?
I'm probably going back to Doctor Choo Wan Ling, as long as she can accept me haha. She delivered my #1 2 years ago and I like her fuss free style. She was at Gleneagles, now she's at Mount Elizabeth Novena.

Hi mummies, I'm currently in my 6 weeks and I'm feeling sleepy and tired all the time.. Totally no mood for work! My nausea is also getting worse too.. Any advice to overcome the fatigue and nausea? :/
I also sleepy and tired all the time. Try eating some plain cracker it helps me curb the nausea sometimes.
I can't do much about the fatigue and I just give in to it. On bed all day feeling tired.
For me I've been eating little snacks like nuts to get an energy boost
Have been feeling super tired too... feeling bloated and cannot eat much, but yet hungry all the time... to be honest, i am not sure what my stomach is feeling anymore...
I drink ginger tea... it seems to help with the queasiness..
