Confuse at wk 5

I went to check last week like to confirm on the pregnancy at the clinic and they just gave the the test kit to try and like literally confirm it is….. then they ask me whether I need help in contacting any gynae. So I am like ya of course it will be even good if u could book an appointment for me coz I have no exp. But he only gave the referral letter and ask me to go myself…? It’s funny that the letter cost $ too. He told me to go like during week 11-12 like that. This makes me more confusing …. Coz I though like we need to have blood test & hcg checks? I am also wondering if whether to go for kkh or sgh for now…. #advicepls #firsttimemom #firstbaby

Hello! congrats on the pregnancy! first, are u intending to go via govt hospital route? if so, yes u need a polyclinic referral letter then they will arrange ur kkh appointment like within 2 weeks from the polyclinic visit. this route is for the subsidized route! means it's heavily subsidized but u cannot choose ur gynae and every visit may be different doctor. if you wanna choose ur own gynae, then referral won't be necessary for your case. be it kkh, sgh or private, they will fall under not subsidized route. and the cost.. might be quite similar. of cuz private still much higher. but u have a consistent gynae to follow thru with you till ur edd. :)

side note. keep all the receipts with you! you might be able to claim it after ur child is born under the Medicare scheme or so. can't rmb it offhand now. Preggy mind.
