KKH subsidised first consultation

Hi mummies, based on reading, I understand that during first consultation (early pregnancy weeks) there will be transvaginal scan. For those who met male doctors, are they the ones performing the procedure or will a female nurse be doing so? Just feeling anxious about it... Any other concerns over male or female docs? TIA for sharing your experience! =)

Kkh subsidized first appt wont be transvaginal, it will be abdomen. And its the nurse(female) that will do the scan. First appt i remmeber after register, your and husb take blood test for thalassemia at clinic C. Then need to go outside of clinic C theres another clinic for scans. That ones nurses do, abdomen. Then go back to clinic C for gynae consultation. Thruout pregnancy ive never gotten any male gynae or male nurse. Like 99.9% female.

only gynaes can do the transvaginal scan. There will also be a nurse standing by to prep you beforehand so if it's a male dr you don't need to worry since there's a nurse with you as well. They're just doing their job so don't think too much

There will be a female chaperone, usually the clinic assistant, beside regardless if a male or female gynae doing the transvaginal scan for you. Not to worry!
