Congratulations on your second baby! At 6 weeks, you're at a good spot to get started. Most of us go straight to an OB-GYN for the first appointment rather than the polyclinic first, they'll do an ultrasound to confirm everything is progressing well, which is really the priority at this stage. That said, a few of my mum friends went via polyclinic for a referral to KKH, and they found it helped with the subsidy later on, so that's worth considering if cost is a factor for you. If you go private, expect around $120, 150 for that first visit, but if you want to tap on subsidies through a government hospital like KKH, starting with your polyclinic doctor for a referral can work out more affordable in the long run. Either way, just call up the clinic or hospital and book, they're usually pretty efficient about getting you in within a week or two. Definitely worth checking with your own OB-GYN about the best pathway for your situation, especially since you've had a pregnancy before and might have specific things they want to monitor!
