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

I’m under NUH private. Ist scan and 2nd scan only ultrasound n doc only said see the heart beating. Even when I do NT scan at wk 11 aso no hear but can see baby kicking actively haa Only at wk 13 when collect report then doc let me hear heartbeat but then no scan. I think as long as doc see all is gd so be fine. The heartbeat scan shld be using Doppler? didn’t charge me though but everytime ultrascan will charge. Don’t worry all be fine :)
