Checkups Experience
I am going for my first checkup, can pls share any +/- experience in opting government hospital or ideally private is better?

You have 3 choices, 1. Subsidised patient in government hospital 2. Private patient in government hospital 3. Private patient in private hospital 1 - You will not be seeing the same gynae on every visit, even during labour. Rates will likely be standardised if no complications etc. I’m not sure for this if the appointment times are longer tho. Also, you may be assigned to a trainee doctor to insert the drip for you @.@ Wards wise, I think you can only choose up to a certain ward. 2 & 3 - You can choose your preferred gynae and stick with them till labour. Rates will depend on respective gynae’s charges. Shorter waiting times. Choose whatever rooms you want unless it’s unavailable. Ultimately, it all comes down to your budget before anything else. Services should be around the same and solely depending on luck (if you encounter any nurses who is having a bad day). You can also choose to go the subsidised route first, then give birth at a private hospital to save abit.
