Thanks for your advice baybeez. I guess you are right about going straight to the gynae instead of the polyclinic. I'm now considering that option :)

As for the clearblue test, yes I will buy that soon!

Btw, today I took another test (using another brand) and 2 lines, although one is slightly lighter than the other.

By far this is the third test I'm taking (all 3 different brands) and all 3 tests are like that. I mean.. I should be pregnant right? Lol!

Sorry I know it sounds really weird to be asking the obvious but my MIL (who is a nurse) thinks that both lines should be the same color to be 100% confirm. Sigh.

Dear, of course you are pregnant!
If she wants to see same darkness lines, then maybe wait another week then test. I am sure you will have the perfect lines she wants by then. :)

Confirm pregnant. Jus that ur HCG not high enough. 1 week later u test. Sure same color.

If not same color mean u r still in ur early pregnancy. Might need to do v.scan to check.

Dun mention. I'm once like u. So doubtful on the kit. I bough the clearblue digital with weeks indicator n show 2-3weeks.

Jus went KKH on Monday n doc say baby too small. Cannot detect. Only manage to see the sac. So most likely I'm 3-4week pregnant only. Still very very early.

Hello ladies / mummies-to-be!
Am new to this forum! Really need your advice about something..

Just tested positive on 2 different test yesterday and was really quite happy, but stunned at the same time cos it was just last month that we decided to throw away the "raincoat" and "play in the rain". Didn't expect to be positive so quickly! :D
Anyway, did some calculation and I think I just completed 4th week as of today.
As for symptoms - other than sore and tender breasts and occasional backaches, I don't have / haven't had any nausea, food cravings, spotting.

Since it's my first pregnancy, I called my MIL (mother-in-law) - who is an experience nurse in a polyclinic - about my plans to see a polyclinic doctor and get referral letter for a check up at hospital. But she said I should wait for another week and test on a HPT (home pregnancy test) again. If it's positive, then go and see doctor at polyclinic.

As much as I would like to heed her advice, waiting for another week sucks and the control freak in me wants to march to the polyclinic and confirm my pregnancy.

So ladies, my questions are:
1. what did you all do when you all found out that you were pregnant?
2. did any of you got a referral letter from the polyclinic, continued your routine test at the referred hospital, then switch to your desired gynae halfway?

Why I'm thinking about this route is because I heard that the first few test in the first trimester are quite routine checks, which a referred hospital (from the polyclinic) can easily do. Though I understand that the waiting time during the appointment is long, and it would be a different doctor each time I go for an appointment.. but it is really much more freaking cheaper.

Any thoughts or advice? :(

Gracemagg, if u can afford a pte gynae, I won't advise you get a referral letter from polyclinic and then go on to KKH to get the cheaper rates. Like u mentioned, the gynae will always change and at time of birth, u also won't know who will be delivering for u. Since its ur first pregnancy, I would think you will want the best. So I would suggest a Pte gynae if u can afford? If not, dun worry, having different gynae to see u isn't a bad thing.. :)

Able to see the sac is good news.. :)
Oh no, now u got me worried. I went to my gynae at 4th week due to vaginal itch and my gynae can't see anything.. Only told me my wall lining is very thick, suggesting an early stage of pregnancy. I keep having the nugging feeling that my pregnancy this time has complications. Maybe I read too much stuff online...

Thanks for the advice! Actually I thought of seeing KKH first (under subsidized) then switch to Pte gynae halfway at about 20 weeks.

But like you've mentioned, it's my first pregnancy and I should probably give the best for lil' one! :) Am now considering to see Dr HK Ho from Mt Alvernia :D

Actually not bad to have the idea to go KKH first den private. But I tell u. The waiting is a killer. U will be so tired from the waiting time.

Maybe 1 hr for ultrasound. 1 hr to see doc. To n fro to hospital.

Maybe u can try KKH private care doc. Might be more ex but maybe cheaper den other private gynea.

For my case, I'm under KKH care clinic d. So I need to follow up the case till they transfer me out to the sub gynea den I will go to my private doc. Cos too small now go private also cannot see anything from tummy. So I feel no point.

Hi Mums-to-be,

my wife and i will be expecting our 1st child in 2016, EDD is 30th Jan. could you add us into the group?

[email protected]

thanks!

Wow bongs360, congrats! I seldom see guys posting on behalf of wives. Can see you are a eager daddy to be.. :)
Anyway, you may not like what I'm saying next.
I am in an early group for my first child and they don't allow daddies in the group due to sensitive issues discussed there. I won't deny if there are chances the mummy shows the daddy the FB group and wat was written inside. I agree daddies on the other hand should also join groups to be more aware of how to take care of the child. But I guess at the end of the day, it's up to the admin to decide what group it should be, for mummies or parents to depend and help each other.
Mxndy, I suppose u are the admin. Please do inform the group should there be daddies inside.
Just my thoughts.

Hi problemgal,

no worries about adding me. Maybe you could add my wife instead? [email protected].

I do agree that sometimes it's easier for women to discuss about sensitive issues without any male presence. Totally understand that.

No worries and no harm done. :)

Mine

i lost my baby in 5th week 3 day last Dec, at first i having spotting, thot is mense coming as i say before my mense very on time de. Then 4w2d, i test, faint line, spotting continue, go kkh A n E see doc, prescribe duphaston and utrogeston, but no use, blood test on 4w5d is 121, repeated bt on 5w is 29. Doc say miscarriage liao, but still spotting no bleed. So doc stop my utrogeston and only ask me to continue with duphaston, he say mense will come soon. True enough 3 days later my AF come full blast. Baby gone. So this time round i very scare spotting, lucky only 1 day and very little. It stop on same day and till now never appear again. Today also my 2nd 5w3d. Cramp and chest tight still remained but appetite turn better.

I hope this time round all of us will happily carry our baby in arm in 8 to 9 months time. Jia you!

Hi 5. I just went for my 1st check up with Dr Henry Cheng yesterday. Both my hubby and myself like him, so we will stick with him. He is quite funny too.
The nurses there ok too. What i like about him is the waiting time. I only waited 20 mins before i saw him. I think this is acceptable considering all the stories ive heard from my friends about having to wait 1-2 hours for their gynae. I think 10 years back, my sister waited 4 hours for her gynae even with appointment.

If your appointment is on monday, i assume you are going to the novena clinic?
Click to expand...

Yeap! Novena branch. Kinda excited for first scan and now heading in to office earlier before heading to scan. Wish me good luck!!!
 
Burger is baking! 6w6d and heart beat going strong. Dr Cheng says all is good. Thank you so much for your best wishes!
Little burger grow strong and healthy!!

Hello all... Can i join thid group rather then feb? Coz the group is really so silent , i love this group so much to talk about.. By the way, my period is 4days away but somehow today im very itchy felt like testing, so i did a test.. Im not sure when i ovulated maybe between 9-14th May.. N today wen im tested n quite puzzled.. Btw this is my 2nd pregg, 1st one was a miscarriage at 7weeks plus :(
 
did not receive anything about the fb group yet...hmmm...maybe I can PM one of the administrators to join? :)

Based on the EDD calculator, I'm 6 weeks pregnant...this will be #2 (which is faster than I expect)

anyone went for vaginal scan and can see heartbeat yet? I'm tempted to make appt with the gynae already...dunno it's too early. The waiting is getting too long and I have spotting here and there unlike the first pregnancy.
