1st Visit to KKH. What to expect?

Don’t be surprised if the gestational age of your baby is less than 7 weeks. Every 1st visit will definitely have a scan just whether it’s viable enough to see through abdominal scan. If not will be done via vaginal scan. Your EDD will also change on subsequent visits if the scans are near so just follow the doctor’s advices. EDD will change 1 or 2 times to confirm. But usually the 2nd visit will be 4-6 weeks apart depending on their availability. Blood tests for thalessemia etc may be done on your 2nd or 3rd visit, probably just before your Down Syndrome test when you’re about 11-13 weeks. In between, some appts will not have any scans just routine checkup to hear baby’s heart rate and to replenish your multi-vitamins. They will also discuss whether you’re high risk or not. Make sure you take all medication prescribed by the doc.
