NUH subsidized

hi mummy! congrats on #2! I remember visiting the polyclinic for referral to NUH Jade Clinic(subsidized) around week 6 (once I found out I'm pregnant). My first appt was only given when I was at around week 8-9? So before this, I went to my own private Gynae/NUH ED as I have a lot of bleeding etc. 1. So lead time is about 1-2weeks. No point calling to check because they take a super long time to revert. You call the appt hotline, they will tell you O&G is another line so they will call you. then you need to wait for them to call you back. 2. You can do that too at the women's clinic, but linking back to point 1, it takes too much time and effort... 3. Getting an appt at private is also quite long tbh hahaha, depending on which gynae you choose. It's also more expensive I think the first consultation is 270++ - 350++ 4. NIPT is cheap. 700+ only for I-gene. 100+ for Oscar. I'm heading back to my own private gynae after finishing my OGTT test at NUH. really don't like the subsidized clinic.

Yes, had my 1st appointment at week 10 which is just perfect cos I got to see my baby very clearly! You'll get your 1st appointment roughly between 2-4 weeks under referral. Trust me, go earlier you won't probably see your baby or hear your baby's heartbeat. Although some does get to see but not all. I'll say 8 weeks & above is a perfect time! I didn't get a call but got my 1st appointment in HealthHub so you might wanna check on the app or under ONENUHS app. Meanwhile if you worry, opt for private clinics not in hospital, for scans before you get your 1st appointment in NUH. That's what many do. I opt out of NIPT so I'm not sure of the cost. Already above 35 yrs old and don't wanna worry myself for that.
