Location

If the country is small, generally I think it’s fine if the gynae is further because the journey still takes at most half an hour. But if the country is big, then having a gynae closer to home makes perfect sense. Haha. I chose a hospital and gynae at the opposite end of Singapore, but I have no regrets because I trust the gynae and paediatric doctors there. And my 2 kids made me go into labour in the middle of the night 😂 so there was no traffic jam at all.

Best to see someone whom you are the most comfortable with.. I’m seeing a gyne who has 2 diff clinics in 2 hospitals, and don’t mind the commute because I find he’s the most reassuring of all the gynes I saw.. convenience wise, of cos nearer is better.. but I’d rather see someone I trust more than the convenience.. esp when I’m bigger and worried about complications..

It depends on your own preference as a nearby hospital or clinic may not have a gynae within your budget or that you’re comfortable with. My priority is gynae over location, so as long as the location is still reasonable, why not?

In my case, my gynae's clinic is in orchard and I stay in north. I still chose her cos she knows my history and I am comfortable and confident in her. Actually I have a hard time travelling cos of bad morning sickness.

I made my decision due to proximity to my home. Towards the later part of the pregnancy, we’ll have to go to the gynae more often and I don’t want to be inconvenienced if it’s too far away

Hey, Nearby is always better but also look at finalising a gynae with whom you are most comfortable with. As that is really important for the full pregnancy journey

It’s better to choose one closer to home but you must be comfortable with the gynae. If not, it’s still worth it to travel a bit.

You must be comfortable with your gynae. Hospital doesn't matter to me. If there's a need to travel a distance you can always grab.

More important is you are comfortable with the gynae and he/she make sure u are in good hands.

I think most importantly is choosing the gynae u r comfortable with. location is bonus
