Oh I totally understand the nerves before a first appointment with a new specialist, especially for a high-risk pregnancy, I felt the same way when I was referred to a specialist at NUH during my second pregnancy and had no idea what to expect! From what I've heard, Dr Pradip Dashraath is well-regarded in the MFM (Maternal-Fetal Medicine) space at NUH, and someone in my mum group mentioned that he comes across as thorough and takes time to explain things properly, which really matters when you're already anxious. The high-risk clinic can feel a bit overwhelming at first, but most mums who've been through it say the team there is generally quite professional and attentive. Do prepare a list of questions before your appointment so you make the most of the time, and don't hesitate to ask him to clarify anything you're unsure about, the good ones never mind when you ask twice. Wishing you a smooth appointment and a healthy pregnancy ahead, you've got this!
