No scan for subsidised patients

I am a subsidised patient at KKH. May I ask why do we need to see the doctor when they don't scan and jus ask how are you feeling? When you say all ok, nothing up, they jus give you the next appointment. Don't mean to be rude. If no scan and I'm feeling well, why do you need to see the doctor when they don't even scan baby every time you go?#advicepls

These are called routine checks. We may feel well, but along our pregnancy, there might be new issues that might come up without us realising which can be known from our urine test and routine checks. They don't scan the baby but they will listen for baby's heartbeat. It is always good to ensure baby is doing well, even if we feel that the appt is redundant. Alot of things can happen along the pregnancy journey so it is better to be safe than sorry. ☺️

Most likely cause this is not your first child? I experience the same thing. But it shouldn’t matter cuz baby is fine?
