Cramp (like period cramp) accompanied by bleeding. Or bleeding (bright red color, like fresh blood) a lot.

Don't panic first. Last time I had bleeding and cry all night then next day went to gynae. As what the gynae nurse warned me, should go to emergency and let them check ASAP. But fortunately (touch wood) it was a false alarm, just some old blood.

According to my friends 16 or 17 weeks onward, but my doctor did not specifically try to scan his gender because. 1. During my last scan, baby is very active. He kept disappearing from the screen. But it's great to see him kicking and well. 2. I have already know the gender through blood test and she assured me, the gender result is very accurate.

Not pathlab blood test, it's non-invasive blood screening (done from week 11-14) for Down Syndrome and other chromosome anomaly. Expensive and can be done only at private hospitals or gynae clinics that collaborate with dna labs. This is out of pathlab and BP lab league. Google ; NICC, Maternit21 and Panaroma. We have threads about them here. The test result will also show gender because they can extract baby's dna from mother's blood.

Yup i think it s the same test, just got different brand name. Weird.. your dr said the same thing about kiasu as my dr said. I did it because i am over 35yo and first child. Also i was hoping if blood test shows low risk i can skip amnio which is invasive, can hurt tha baby and also painful to do. Fortunately the blood test did showed low risk so i didnt do amnio.
The blood test is for down syndrome, edward syndrome etc etc. Usually chromosome related issue. But does not detect things like cleft lip, organ condition etc etc. This will be using detailed scan around week 18. Cannot be too late or bb will grow too big and squeezed condition, cannot see that clearly. Rm400. I didnt take it, cos both of us decide to handle any issue when bb arrives.
Back to the blood test i am charged 2400 but this price include simple urine test i was scheduled to do. Mine is local dna lab. My fren did at park city 2500 panaroma sent to uk lab. I remember i called fgmc before and the price is cheaper. Then i decided to go back to my dr at columbia asia since already follow up there since week 5, dont wanna run here run there. You can try to call fgmc. i think theirs is materni21

Why everyone thought I am the husband?
Basically I know only this main blood test. The rest of the minor blood tests (glucose, HB1ac etc), no need to special request, your doctor will give you along the appointments. They are not expensive, so just take lah. I am starting to have urine tests on every appt now, to monitor if any gestational diabetes and any protein in my urine.

Then if you want a peace of mind is the Detailed Scan I mentioned earlier. Detailed Scan will scan for anomaly on bb's organ and spine growth. I did not take this.
