First trimester dating scan

My wife is already in the 6th week of her first trimester. We went to the polyclinic to get a referral letter for a follow up at NUH with a obstetrics and gynae doctor there. Called NUH and they said that the earliest date available is on the 12th/13th week. Is the wait to see a doctor at NUH so long for subsidized patients? Doesn’t seem right that the wait for a follow up and a crucial first trimester dating scan is so long. Any advise? Thank you :)

Actually they arranged for you to wait that long is because thats the only stage you can actually see smtg during scanning. If earlier theres no point scanning. And just make sure you take care of the pregnancy as long theres no spotting/blood and wtch what you eat.
