First appointment at 20 weeks

Hi! I found out I was pregnant over the weekend (currently at 11 weeks) and my first visit to NUH is only at my 20th weeks as that’s their earliest appointment. Should I be worried that I have no first trimester scans/check up? Or should I just wait accordingly? I’m going through the subsidised route.

Yes, I tried calling NUH. Staff told me that she could not advice whether it is okay to miss my first trimester checks. And she shared that if I am worried, I can take my checks elsewhere and bring them along on my appointment date. They said there’s nothing they could do as appointments are all based on availability. Else, I can keep trying to call in to them to see if anyone cancel their appointment to see if I can have an earlier slot. Thank you though. Good to know that there are vital checks and I should not wait till my 20th week.
