Hihi, congratulations on your pregnancy! You will be doing registration at the counter. There'll be some forms to fill in. Height and weight, urine sample and blood pressure measurement will be taken prior to seeing gynae. These three will be self-service and taken every visit. Dont worry as you'll be guided along for the first visit. There will be gynae consultation with an abdominal ultrasound. Usually during early weeks, there'll be chances of doing transvaginal ultrasound for better visual. Gynae will tell you approximately how far along you are in your pregnancy. If there's any medical history, do share with the gynae. Blood test will also be taken. They will test for many things with the blood sample.
I went through NUH subsidized route for my second pregnancy and honestly the wait can be long, but the care is solid. First visit they'll take your full medical history, do a scan, and go through all the screening options available to you at that subsidy level, then you'll get assigned a specific doctor or midwife team you'll see regularly. Bring your IC, any previous medical records, and be prepared to spend a good few hours there for that first appointment since the polyclinic-style setup means there's always a queue, but it's worth it if you're budget conscious.
