FTS is just the First Trimester Screening, which combines the NT scan and double marker test. Make sure you budget for it because these scans and blood tests together can cost around 3k to 5k depending on the lab. It's best to plan your finances for these early medical tests.

Listen, thick white discharge is normal because of hormonal changes, nothing to panic about. But if it changes color to yellow or green or starts smelling bad, go to the clinic immediately. Don't sit and guess, just ask your doctor.

Currently carrying a giant baby who kicked me all night, and let me tell you, normal pregnancy pain is annoying but ectopic pain is a different level. It's usually a sharp, unbearable pain on one side with spotting. Don't read Google, just call your doctor and get a scan!

Haha, I wish it was that easy, my gynac would save so much gel! Right now in my 34th week, they poke my belly to see where the head is, but early pregnancy definitely needs a real scan. I'm just too tired of all these tests now!

Mummy always says that sudden changes in stomach behavior happen when the body is preparing for a baby. She made me eat simple khichdi and curd to soothe my stomach. Just eat light and see how you feel.
