Did you see a doctor to confirm pregnancy ? Are you taking any prescribed pre natal vitamins ? I just tested positive , and according to my app I am 4 weeks today. Just wondering when to book an appointment with a gynae and if I can take pre natal vitamins ,over the counter. I'm currently taking only folic acid. Confused soul. Please help.

Usually red date tea is consumed after delivery.

If you are having bad nausea, usually the obgyn will just say drink and eat whatever you can stomach for now. When I had my #1 my first trimester was so horrible I tried all the drinks I could (100+, green tea, fruits etc) just to get some energy haha...

Hi kokomi! So far i'm good except feeling slightly nausea and experiencing minor cramps. How far are you along? I;m a first time mummy so kinda at a loss on what is to come!

I'm coming to 5 weeks. This is my second child.

My personal experience with the first trimester was nausea all day round. I laid on the bed most of the time. Oops. But every baby is different so we wouldn't really know. Just rest as much as you can for now, and ask your obgyn questions! A good obgyn should help you along, especially first time parents. Most other things like buying baby stuff and choosing a delivery hospital can wait.

Congrats on your second child! Thanks for the advice. I'm also kinda stuck on choosing my gynae. I want to deliver at KKH so gotto pick a gynae from there. Just not sure if stitching matters more or gynae support is more crucial..

If you are going private at KKH you can search online easily for reviews :) At the end of the day, your husband and you must feel comfortable with the obgyn's style. Some are more quiet, some are more naggy etc. You should know how you feel by the first couple of appointments.

I'm sure they can! My #1 is still young (2.5 yo by the time #2 arrives) so I think I will be thankful if she can just take care of herself haha. Haha.

Congrats !!! You said your scan is in 2 weeks time? Until then , may I ask you what pre natal vitamins are you going to be on ? I have yet to schedule my appointment with a gynae , I'm just about 4 weeks. Wondering if I should just pick up any prenatal vitamins over the counter and take it until I'm 6 weeks and ready for my first appointment.
 
I'm currently approx 6 weeks. First gynae visit on 7 Apr, which is estimated 8 weeks. I'm actually going Bangkok next week and would like to ask do you think it is ok for me to do foot massage? I know those Thai massage is definitely a no go. How about just foot massage?

Hello! Congrats to u too!! I just went to buy folic acid at guardian yesterday. That's all I usually take before the scan. After that just take whatever that KKH prescibes.

I'll usually do foot massage further along... Like after the 5th month when more stablized! By then quite obvious preggy and they'll know what to do
 
Hi everyone! I had a faint positive on Sat. Wasn't really sure of what I'm seeing. But on Mon, was definitely a bfp. Online calculator says in due on 23 Nov.

Hi, I have fixed an appointment with Dr Claudine Tan too! My friend is seeing her so she recommended her to me! When is your appointment? Mine is on 3 April! But the nurse told me that she will be away for long hols from mid Nov to early Dec! So I am not sure if I will continue to see her if my Edd falls on the dates she is away.

my nausea not so terrible but i always feel cold in office, not sure how to make myself warmer. that's why i thought drinking Logan red date will fight the cold.
 
Coming 7 weeks. Having the first symptom. Anyone encounter having headache,feeling hungry but nausea at the same time? A lot of gas in the stomach too. It's a terrible feeling since u feel hungry yet u can't swallow the food. Hope this only happens today.

For those who experience symptoms, it usually staves off after the first trimester. Hang in there! Eat in small quantity and more frequently to deal with the "I'm hungry yet unable to eat" feelings. For me during my first pregnancy I avoided milk products as the burp was really bad... So was the vomiting when it eventually came up for me.
