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

Hi I’m currently 16 weeks at kkh sub too. All my visit has ultrasound and all being charged extra $19.50 for that too. I never get to hear heart beat only show me on the screen. I was at epau at 7 weeks, 9 weeks appt in the doctor room, 12 weeks did FTS then a few days later went a&e again. and just at 15 weeks scan again at doctor room again but a different doctor as my doctor on leave. All visit ultrasound was done and was charged $. Maybe ur baby is doing well that why not ultrasound so often.
