Cost for prenatal checks

Hello Mummies! FTM here. I’m a little confused over the private doctors who has their own clinic for example at Mt A / Mt E etc and the doctors are public hospital. The costs are not that different right? I saw someone saying KKH hospital’s consultation charges are also quite expensive? If so, can someone help to explain what the differences are other than the waiting time ?

FTM here as well. From what I know/researched, government hospital under subsidised route means every time the gynae u see is different. They might do lesser scans & the follow-up duration is longer. The nurse at my private gynae said that government hospital sometimes just listen to heartbeat without doing ultrasound. Based on my experience & other mum friends suggestion, they all prefer a private because of the comfort & convenience, & most importantly seeing the same trusted gynae everytime.

Is it safe to travel in week 6 pregnancy?

I travelled to Korea around week 7 before my first gynae check up. All safe and good for me 😁

NUH Private - please share experiences

Just recently tested positive for my first baby, I think I’m approaching 5 weeks. Went to my family GP and got a referral letter to NUH. NUHS called up and said that from a family GP, I’d be going the private route. Can any mommies who recently gave birth or planning to give birth at NUH private please share more information on your gynae, the average costs per visit and the birth package costs? Clueless first time mom-to-be here 😅 Thank you!

I would like to know too, thank you

Bleeding during first trimester??

Hi guys , i am a first time mummy to be and im experiencing bleeding . I am 3 weeks pregnant so i dont know if is it normal . The blood flow is exactly like menstruation and the cramps exist too so im not sure if its normal . I would probably like to know before my appointment to the doctors ..

Hi dear, pls see a gynae asap. If it’s period blood with clots it could be miscarriage. I had smth similar previously. It started with brown spotting. Then I went to see doctor. But they couldn’t see the water bag/yolk sac through the scan. 2-3 days later it turned into period blood flow and I lost the baby.

Hi moms, I am facing some brown spotting on my 4 week the past 2 days should I be concerned? Yet to go for first doc visit. #firsttimemom #concern

Could be implantation bleeding. You can call a gynae to ask. Cos week 4 it might not be detected through the vaginal scan as well. If it’s very light brown spotting without discharge maybe no need worry too much, but have lots of rest. If it gets heavier with red blood & discharge like period flow, pls see gynae asap. There’s always kkh a&e which is 24/7.

Pregnancy anxiety

FTM here. I’m currently week 6. But I’ve been a little anxious and stressed because 2 months ago I had a chemical pregnancy so I’m particular stressed over this pregnancy. I’m worried because I don’t have morning sickness. Previously was quite tired and hungry easily, but for the past 2 days I don’t get hungry that easily. So I’m worried if the baby is growing well.. you know how they say ur baby is growing well if u have bad morning sickness and all.. I am just very scared I will get another miscarriage because of the chemical pregnancy 2 months ago. Any moms can advise how to overcome this anxiety? :(

Hello mommies. Is it normal to lose appetite at 5 weeks? Feelings nauseous almost every morning...

Loss of appetite

Hello mommy! Yes it’s normal! I didn’t have appetite for the whole of trimester 1. Only got slightly better during trimester 2 but it went back to loss of appetite at trimester 3. You can try to split your meals into small parts more meals if you really cannot eat. Just don’t forget your supplements and drink more water :)

Symptoms on early pregnancy

Hi all, when do you start to feel morning sickness? Should I be worried because I've not felt morning sickness. Also, is it normal that my threshold towards cold temperature isnt as good as before? I love to be in the cold, but now I can't really stand to be in the cold for so long.

Hello, I have morning sickness when I was around week 7. Not all mommies will have morning sickness and symptoms. If you have not felt any of it, you’re one of the lucky ones which will make other mommies envy 🥺 not to worry if you don’t have any! For me, I am still able to tolerate cold temperature but not towards the hot temperature anymore. I can’t stand being in the hot for too long. I have heard other mommies not able to tolerate cold temperature. Everybody’s body is built differently!

Private or subsidised

Hi all, FTM here, just tested positive and is around week 4 now. Not sure what to do from here onwards and if private or subsidised route is better(in terms of waiting time etc) have been thinking of subsidised first then change to private too, but am not sure how's the procedure like. Would love to read some experience from fellow moms here! Thanks in advanced! #adviceplease #firstmom #newmom

It was about 8 working days after I called in.
