Hi! I would like to seek some advice.

Hi mommies. I would like to seek some advice on whether should i go and check ultrasound early or should i wait. I am 8 weeks pregnant (according to my lmp) but im only scheduled to visit the doctor in polyclinic on 25th April which will probably be in my 10 weeks to ask for referral to hospital. I had 2 miscarriages last year. Both times i was scheduled early for my ultrasound only to found out they couldnt detect any heartbeat yet And at week 6 i started bleeding and eventually miscarried (for both) Because they couldnt scan through my tummy, they have to go through scanning from below. My husband said that it could trigger the bleeding thats why we thought of waiting for abit to get scan. #adviceplease #firsttimemom

I feel you... I scheduled to visit gynae from week 7. But as my GP not confidence to change my medication (existing condition) to pregnancy safe, I had gone to gynae on week 5. In that week, did 2 times vaginal scan and 3 times HCG blood test n last diagnosed by private gynae is either ectopic or a miscarriage in progress, rare chance of normal pregnancy. In the end I went kk, did another 2 times vignal scan n finally found a gestational sac in uterus. I am going for my week 8 review next week. I should hv follow my instinct n not to let the gynae scan, my 3rd pregnancy and I don't have any unwell except the normal pregnancy signs. Follow ur instinct but if unwell better get to a&e. Normally suggest week 7 or 8 in case of any abnormalities.
