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 :)

Abit late i feel too. But i guess they have already schedule appts for prior patients as well and they hv a long waiting list. On the other hand, u will get a clearer scan only 10 weeks onwards or so. If u can wait, then just stay calm. If not, perhaps u can try other hospitals instead.
