KKH subsidised

Is it normal for an appointment to check for baby's heartbeat but to not see baby on the ultrasound? It is my 16th week appointment today and a bit down not being able to see baby's physical progress on screen. But i am very thankful to be able to hear a strong heartbeat, nonetheless ☺️ So i am wondering if it is normal for subsidised patients to experience the above? As i asked a few friends who was under private in KKH and all said that all their appointments had both ultrasound + check for heartbeat. For my 12th week appointment, i was able to see baby on ultrasound but sonographer did not check for heartbeat, maybe understandably so as might be too early to check for heartbeat. Just a little confused now heh. Apologies for the long post!! #advicepls #firstbaby #pregnancy

Currently week 14. My first scan was on week6. Didnt get to hear HB during scan only see it flickering on screen. 2nd scan was 5 weeks later on week11. Same as first scan got ultrasound but cannt hear HB. I was supposed to go back next week. But i realise that there is no appt scheduled to go AMC for ultrasound i was puzzled also.

Yes, i had no appointment scheduled under AMC too for today. A bit puzzling! I guess its a norm for subsidised patients. But i guess as long as baby's heartbeat is visibly strong, he/she's all good ☺️
