First Time visit to obgyn should the hubs come along? And what questions should I ask my obgyn?#firsttimemom

I recently had a miscarriage, which was my first pregnancy. I never thought I would be able to conceive, as my husband and I had been together for four years…. Long story short, it happened on Sunday, May 26th. In the evening, I started bleeding and went to A&E. Scans showed that my gestational sac was 5 weeks and 1 day old, but they couldn't see anything else. I was told to wait for my next check-up on May 28th. On the check-up day, the doctor told me that the embryo had not grown compared to the last check-up 10 days ago. It seemed to have shifted downward, and my gestational sac looked lower than before. Both the OB at A&E and the Women’s Clinic tried to tell me that I would miscarry, but I couldn't believe it. The doctor asked me to wait another week. The next day at 1 am, I had severe cramps that felt like I needed to poop, followed by lower back pain that made it impossible to lie down. I rushed to A&E at around 5-6 am, where they found tissue stuck at the neck of my womb and had to remove it. I was then given an abortion pill to flush out any remaining clots and waited for a while before going home. I took a 2-3 day rest but did not do confinement, as staying home made me feel too sad. As my body recovers and my hormones re-balance, I am now experiencing increased libido, which makes me feel guilty for moving on so quickly. I am still sad, but I am trying to think positively. Since I never heard a heartbeat, perhaps it means the embryo was not alive yet? Note: i am still bleeding mildly- i hope it can quickly end the bleeding 😩

Looking for a mummy’s milk that taste good and nutritious for baby’s development in the early trimesters. Anyone with good recommendations? I don’t really like the taste of milk but I don’t think I’m getting sufficient nutrients with the all day nauseous and food aversions. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated #adviceappreciated #8weeks

6 weeks +6 days diarrhea everyday. Gynae said normal and no medicine prescribed. Anyone with the same experience? Is it normal? How to make the diarrhea stop?

Hi, I just did a scan at KKH @ EPAU unit... 6 weeks can't see fetal pole/heartbeat... is this normal? Dr. mentioned its still to early and requested for another 2 weeks to confirm? Is this normal?

Hi mummies! I have a bald spot that I always cover up with brown hair powder! The brand I use is Jenny house Korea. Has anyone also used it during pregnancy? Is it safe to use? I’m currently 8 weeks 5 days. Only occurred to me this morning that the powder might not be suitable for use during pregnancy and now I’m concerned it will bring harm to my fetus or cause defects during development. Thanks!
