1st Time Pregnancy

Hi all! I got a positive test on clear blue this week, and scheduling for a private KKH appointment. Any recommendations I should go for consultant or senior consultant for the first appointment and any KKH doctors' recommendation? :) Appreciate any sharing of experiences too :)

If you are doing private KKH, maybe it is better to stick to 1 consultant throughout? Just sharing my 1st born experience. I went to KKH private and my gynae was lovely. But despite being private, the wait was simply too long. And later on when you need to do other checks (like drawing blood, NIPT etc), you are required to go to another building and queue again. So overall the time taken is simply too long. So i moved to private after my first NIPT came out inconclusive. After doing the maths, the price isn’t significantly different (for my gynae at least) compared to private KKH. The wait time is significantly shorter too because everything can be done in doctor’s clinic instead of moving around. Something you can consider (:

Thank you so much for the sharing, its useful experience for our consideration, appreciate it! 😃

Congrats on your positive test! Both consultant and senior consultant are good, really depends on your preference and availability lah. I went with a regular consultant for my first few visits and she was very thorough, but some mums prefer the senior consultant for that extra reassurance, especially if it's your first time. I'd say just book whoever has the earliest slot and you can always request a transfer later if you want, since what matters most at the start is getting your dating scan done and baseline checks sorted. A lot of it also comes down to personality fit with the doctor, so don't stress too much about the tier. All the best with your appointment!
