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! =)

Hi, it'll only be a transvaginal scan if it's really early. My first appointment was that because they couldn't see the foetus on the abdominal ultrasound (also since I went for a check during my 5th week). But if you're slightly down your pregnancy, probably at 7-8 weeks, you'd be able to just get by with an abdominal scan. Scans are done by the ultrasound techs at the AMC and not the clinics, and my experience so far has been all with female techs. Btw, I'm also under kkh subsidized ☺️
