go to KK urgent O &G centre. They will so a scan and check on the baby and you. Even though your going to NUH for your Gynaecologist, you can go to KK for immediate pregnancy related emergencies. That's what i did in my first pregnancy. I was seeing a gynae in NUH at first and kept bleeding so i kept going to the A &E at KK for immediate care. I went quite often because it was my first pregnancy and i was uncertain about everything and overly worried. Eventually they recommended a Gynaecologist at KK that specialises in bleeding and i decided give it a try and she's been my Gynaecologist since. plus, she gave me her mobile number so of there is any converns i have or if i feel the baby's movement may not be felt layer on in my pregnancy, she told me to come down to KK or she would reply to my concerns most times of the day. That played a crucial role in abating my worries. anyways not telling you to switch to switch Gynaecologists but KK is really the hospital to go to when ur spotting and need urgent immediate care. other hospitals you have to wait with people with other problems that may be more urgent that simply pregnency related issues.
U can call NUH to schedule for a scan? Explain to them your situation. If can’t, can always schedule appointment with a private Gynae clinic (I usually go to neighbourhood ones and quite ok with their scan). Just to let you have a peace of mind, knowing that baby is ok :) take care
Thank you! I think I’ll have to find a private gynae who’s willing to scan me. I called NUH today (I’m a patient there), but the staff told me only doctors can call for an ultrasound and I’ll have to see the doctor first, then schedule an ultrasound. Too much time will be wasted 😪 Also the next nearest doc appointment they can give me is like 19 July, i think it’s risky to wait till then.
I think you could call and ask for a scan but you need to pay extra. However my gynae is from a clinic in Mount E. I had bleeding stain at week 10, I was worried so I called for a scan the following day. All is good but they gave me a progesterone injection to help.

You can go to kkh urgent o&g, its like a&e.. my wife had bleeding twice also but was nothing serious, read online and could be cause uterus expanding thus bleeding.. nonetheless just go check to have a peace of mind
Thank you! In the end I walked in to NUH A&E, did a scan and baby seems ok. It’s a huge load off my mind.
You can also walk in to KKH urgent O&G.. the doc will give you a scan to check, esp if bleeding. good to get it checked asap
