Hi mommies . Im 16wks now. Wanted to know how many scans are done throughout pregnancy.

Hi Mummy! Let me share mine at KKH under subsidised. KKH Consultations ✅26 Feb - 1st scan @ AMC ✅30 Mar - 2nd scan @ AMC ($135.16) ✅9 Apr - DS Test @ ADC ($285.50) ✅4 May - Doppler for heart rate ($47) ✅11 June - Gender Reveal @ ADC ($131.36) ✅14 July - OGTT ($83.50) ✅8 Aug - Breech baby @ ADC ($63) ✅12 Aug - Doppler for heart rate($62.36) ✅2 Sept - Doppler for heart rate, scheduled C-sect on 14 Oct ($47) ✅24 Sept - Baby head down @ AMC, c-sect cancelled, swab test for bacteria ($147) ✅8 Oct - Doppler for heart rate($47) ✅15 Oct - Doppler for heart rate($47) 19 Oct - EDD Personally I feel that some appts are not necessary at all. My scans were those in AMC and ADC. Some of my friends skipped their appts and only went for the OGTT. You will be able to claim $900 worth of pre-pregnancy bills via Medisave but I got mine via cheque of $1+k which KKH reimbursed as my insurance had gotten the bill covered. And I’m a citizen so I’m not sure why or how. Hahaha. Plus I had to stay in the hospital for 6 days after delivery due to post-pregnancy complications. I developed pre-eclampsia, and had no problems during pregnancy at all. Had emergency c-sect with full GA as well. My baby had to be placed in phototherapy for 24hrs too. My total bill size was $11+k before govt subsidy and even so I had to topup $4+k remaining in cash after subsidy. But my insurance got it covered so I didn’t have to fork out a single cent at all. Instead I received $900 in cheque for my daily hospital stay. So do manage your finances well and do consider getting hospital insurance (the minimum) if you haven’t had any yet. And if you’re really financially tight, do see a social worker. They can help you out. I have a friend whose kid was premature at 25 weeks, had to stay in NICU for 3 months and their bill size was almost 6-figured. Met with a social worker and eventually didn’t pay anything at all. All the best Mummy! ❤️
