Hi...so how to tell how many weeks pregnant? I read from some sites start from last mense date but I found that puzzling. Is that how we count? I just tested positive 2 days ago...first BB and very excited! Last mense was 1st week of March. Does that mean at least 4-5 weeks already? I had very regular menses.
0-3 mths pregnant

if ur menses are v accurate and u tested +ve 2 days ago coz u missed ur menses, then yes, u r ard 4 wks+ now. congrats!
caln of EDD is always based on LMP (last menses period). And u enter the no. of days ur regular cycle is. u will get the date.
there r many sites to surf for info.

hello there! i am too. just see a tiny tiny sac during my 1st visit with the gynae. i am looking forward to seeing the heartbeat 2 weeks later! hope can see..,..
hello! Congrats! I just made appt w gynae! Was advised to go around 7 weeks at least. Very curious how first visit will be like
Just wondering, do you gals get the stomach 'like having menses' kind of feeling now and then? Not exactly pain but just feels something..Also also more white/yellow discharge. Is this normal??

Hi everyone, it seems that some of u do get e medicine for e MS..i know most MTBs will go for a check after missing a menses..me too oso experiencing MS..alas, no fixed timing on when it'll happen..juz hv a habit of nauseous & after a few of this, things go well (phew..like that oso "gan yan").
at times, saliva tastes funny n nid fruit juices..now at least 4-6mealtimes / day, tiny bit of food each..always diff cravings of food but love sour & spicy, kway teow fish ball soups (so much), vege & limited meats...really envy those w/o any MS..tend to feel sort-of 'indigestion'..haiz...esp after dinner..
HI GG, e sinseh that i go to said it's norm to hv discharge as i was worried so much initially. if it gets worse, juz seek e gynae's advise again esp when it contains colour. Take care

Hey yara! I am also in my 5th week!! Ya, sometimes got that light crampy feel, which got me a little worried cos heard about etopic pregnancy. Guess will feel more assured after 1st doc appt. As for the jab you mentioned, one of my friend had them taken cos she had bleeding. Understand it was a type of hormone jab which will help stabilise and protect bb.
BB...yup, you are spot on! I also get the funny taste in my saliva. I tend to feel very bloated but yet get hungry quite easily, then next moment after eating, very bloated again! And yes, keeping wanting to eat but small meals...Husband seems concerned that I am overeating. Keep reminding me many pregnant ladies eat more than they should. I also don't know how to describe how I feel to him. Been feeling emotional too, sometimes just feel vey sad and cry nonstop. There was once I was on the train and tears just keep rolling. Very different from my usual self lor. Heard of post-natal blues but now I wonder if I'm experiencing pre-natal blues (is there such a thing?)

Gg gal, being emotional easily is 1 of e symptoms..will weep easily than b4..haha..it's k to binge every 2hrs or so
so long as hopefully not craving on oily unhealthy food..yes, there is pre-natal blues..find something to balance yr emotions whenever u feel emotional..
for me, i k suddenly feel moody & feel like screaming! feel so 'bored' with lifestyle..haha..whenever planning to go window-shopping, e thot of crowd kills e thot..ended up staying at home or shop at neighbourhood (amk hub as i'm living there)..

Hi BB...thanks for the assurance..Yea, me too..sometimes feel very restless but yet dunno want to do wat. As for the munching, decided that a healthier way could be to munch fruits in between meal, like apples etc. But also bought a bit of sour titbit though not healthly. Sometimes I do crave for sinful stuff like fried stuff. Next minute I find fried stuff a turn off. And tummy always feel very funny, like bloated and quite uncomfortable. Breasts very sore too and bras are getting tight and always end up with red bra lines. Think need to start researching about maternity bras. I heard cannot wear underwired ones during pregnancy. Anyone knows where are the places to find maternity bras?

GG lee,
i think u shd eat less oily food, coz oily n fried food will mk u uncomfotable after that. n sometimes pregnant ladies eat apples, then will hv a lot gas, which mk their tummy bloated, thus causing more discomfort.

Hi BB,
I think 1st visit gynae will let us know what tests we need to do. Read from forum usually will have blood test around 12th week, to check blood count and also for thalamassia. Seems like husbands need to test too. Then there is a Oscar test which will be done later to check foetal abnormalities..

BB,
I found some info when reading through threads like in Year 2009 mums to be...now and then some mummies will share what tests they did. Also, under the postings on each gynae doctor usually will also mention what happens when they visit..
My mood swing strike last night again...late at night told my husband I am thungry..wanted to eat potato chips...he refused to let me eat say not healthy...next minute find me crying so pathetically under the blanket...I just suddenly feel so miserable....I think husband got a shock too....In the end he made me sandwiches and I happy liao. Gosh, I think I going haywire...emotions like roller coaster!

hi,
i am a newcomer to this thread. I am now in my 9th week. My gynae tells me that i got to avoid food that contails Vit C(oranges, tomatoes), milk, cheese, yogurt.
I read up in books that preggie mum needs alot of calcium & iron, but i cannot take milk & cheese due to gastrics pain.
Any one can advise and help me on what to take to supplement?

Hahahahah...Yaya, I can fully understand that feeling! This morning my husband prepared ciabatta bread with cheese for my breakfast but I no longer seem to like it so much! And he said huh? Taste change again uh? Actually they also very poor thing sometimes...cos we sometimes also dunno what we want/don't want until we see it!
Geraldine
Congrats! Am surprised about cannot take vit C, thot it is good. Guess I better ask my gynae too cos I have been drinking a bit of fresh orange juice now and then, find it very appealing cos slightly sour. Did you ask ur gyna what supplements to take, usually they will prescribe or recommend (e.g iron/calcium tabs). Best to check w gynae cos each persons needs may differ.

i just went for checkup last week. can only see the bubble but not the sac.. anyone experiencing this before? gynae said i should be 6 to 7 weeks but the U/S machine measured the bubbel to be 5W5D and no sac inside..

Hi yaya
What is bubble and what is sac? I had my US done at 7 weeks, doc never use these terms..
Maybe good to get 2nd opinion if you are worried about the machine by this gynae not accurate?
Geradine
My gynae told me vit C and juices are good, unless having gastric pains. She also din prescribe supplements for 1st trim, folic acid is good enough and just eat healthy balanced diet. Calcium and iron tablets start from tri 2.

hi Gera
welcome here
thot it shld b Vit A for us to avoid as too much will affect e fetus development (*-*)>
during 1st trimester, norm we take foclic acid..when u visit gynae during end of 1st trimester, will switch to Multi-Vit and / or Iron..if u still hv folic, k finish it (this is what my gynae said i do still hv some stocks). confirm with yr gynae again

Hi ladies,
I tested positive 5 days before my menses due, found it unbelieveable as it seems too early to be tested positive. I also bought a clear blue test kit to reconfirm 2 days back and..yes it is positive.
Today I should be in my 4th week if I'm really pregnant, should I be visitng my gynae soon as I had a miscarriage last Dec or should I wait till 6th week since it is too early to scan anything.

Hi GG Lee,
Can I check wif u who advised u to go gynae to check around 7 weeks?
Btw, u've mentioned abt more white/yellow discharge. Do u mean that after u've missed ur last period & after that, u got more white/yellow discharge? Just curious as i aso hv the same thing as u here.

BB, i did some read up..so the bubble is the sac..heee...sorry for wrong info..and the utrasound scanning machine measured the sac to be 5W+.. thats y i am puzzling whether the machine is accurate or not cos it doesnt match the gynae prediction of 7week.
am informed by the gynae that there should be fetus inside the sac..but she cant find it via virginal scan. make me worry lor

i know that there r 2 forms of 'predicitng e age' of e fetus - either based on LMP or measurement on e length of e fetus (for 1st trimester as a gauge)..as far as i know, some ppl may not be able to see much during e 1st mth or so..dun fret..am sure u b gg to e next visit. when will that be??
hi Gera,
just ask e gynae for any info u need..else search e web..can try Dumex sg web..
yes common to go..i do.. take cooked food thru'out e term for safety
hi Kingking,
i did hv discharge initially..heard it's an auto dismissal by e body at early stage..just monitor..unsure, check w gynae..

Hi,
I just went for 1st check up, doctor said he can't see anything thru the scan, it this because the baby is too small? I guess I'm only 3 to 4 weeks pregnancy and I'm so worried about it... Can someone assist me?

Gynae clinic advised see gynae around 6,7 weeks so that by then can see heartbeat. If you go earlier, is ok too but they may do a vaginal scan (insert in), if sac is too small to show in pelvic ultrascan. But if u got any abnormal symptoms or want to be sure it is not ectopic pregnancy, then can go as early as 4 weeks. But usually they will still ask u to go again for another check around 7 weeks as the doctor will need to confirm got heartbeat.
As for discharge, gynae say is normal as long as white/light yellow. This is because when pregnant, your body got HCG hormones and they will be more discharge as your uterus expands to prepare for growing bb.
