Kkh Subsidised

Question

Hi, I am 31 weeks currently. I am still under subsidised route. Wanted to check if anyone is in the same situation as me. Since my first ever KKH appointment ,  I was always seen by the same gynae and not once was a different gynae. Initially planned to change to private once i reach 28 weeks. Looking at it now is there a chance my gynae stays the same till birth? (Was told by most of my friends that when they were in subsidised,  every appointment was always a diff gynae)

Different doctors have different fixed clinic days e.g. Dr A has clinic every Mon and Wed AM, Dr B has clinic every Mon and Tue PM. If you stick to the same day/time for follow-up all the time, higher chances that you’ll be seeing the same doctor again. However, this is not guaranteed for delivery of your baby which is dependent on EDD and whoever’s on-call that day. If you like the doctor you’re currently seeing and would like him/her to be the one delivering your bb, best to confirm their availability around your EDD period and if they tell you they’re available then consider switching to private to “book” them as your delivering doctor. P.S.: very common for doctors to go on conference/training leaves during Christmas to CNY period.
