First pregnancy - first doctor visit

Hmm honestly I didn’t really have the same great experience with KKH. I was with KKH subsidised and am about 6 weeks. I find it extremely challenging to get any answers from them. Eg. I had some episodes of light bleeding but they wouldn’t let me speak to a doctor. Some of the nurses were also quite rude and insisted I just had a late period, but were proven wrong when my HCG went up. Was pretty demoralising to wait for the results. Maybe I was unlucky? I don’t know. Can’t complain since it’s subsidised. But since it’s my first pregnancy I would like to feel more assured instead of having to rely on google for answers.. I think if you are able to claim your gynae visits or are financially comfortable, private would be better. My two cents!

Hello! I just recently got pregnant too! We chose NUH, reason being they have the best available maternal and fetal team in SG as advised by a few of our dr friends. Was contemplating to go MENH, and was trying to lock in the price before they increase the price every December! But I was told by their maternal suite team that they only have 8 delivery suites, and more than often they had to send away delivering moms! (Not sure if they trying to scare us away, hahah) Nevertheless, we felt that the team at NUH is more equipped and also (hygienic). Just had my first private consult at NUH, their private gynae patients consultation is actually very nicely decorated too (not sure if it’s a factor!) was pleasantly shocked when we were there

I’m with KKH subsidised but I intend to switch to private subsequently as my company insurance covers maternity up to a limit. Wanted to do my initial checks and find out more about my pregnancy before deciding which gynae is good for me. So far, I’ve been to one appointment with KKH subsidised. Wait time was short (1.5hours for everything) and got to see baby’s heartbeat through ultrasound scan. Everyone was polite and caring, so overall very positive. Will update after my second appointment, which is in a month’s time!

hi there ! congratulations 🎉 To me best is KKH coz if there’s any complications all the other hospitals will also send to KKH.. my experience for kkh subsidised is good 👍🏻 the waiting time isn’t long and all the doctors and midwives are friendly and informative.. i’ve experienced private for awhile bfr i changed to subsidised.. reason being it’s too $ for someone who doesn’t have medisave and also the waiting time was actually longer there huhu hope this helps :)

Hey same here! Following your thread!
