First time pregnant, help!

Question

Hi all Moms!! This is my my first pregnancy and I got tons of questions that need guidance from fellow experience moms. I just found out 1 week ago and went through polyclinic route to KKH. The first check I notice that KKH wait is super long even though u had an appointment date. Is this normal? Also, during the consultation/scan, the doctor seems to be very distracted/blur. Even after informing that I am not working currently, the doctor proceed to ask again if I needed HL (abit concern if they are really giving full attention when attending to me). Then during the check, especially ultra sound scan, when using transvaginal U/S it hurts. When feedback the doctor just said this is the max u will feel. Then continue to put pressure and it is really uncomfortable. I am wondering if this Is normal for mommies that go through KKH route?

sorry to hear that your experience wasnt so good! for me it was different, the sonographers I met were all efficient but attentive to me and any discomfort I may have. but I didnt have to do the transvaginal ultrasound, the abdominal one was sufficient to visualise the sac/embryo for me. as for the dr being distracted during the consultation, sometimes I do encounter such doctors but they are generally seeing many patients a day and might be slightly distracted or not as attentive. sometimes they forget to ask if the patient needs MC and the patient really forgot and comes back to ask. or some patients may not be working but need HL/MC for insurance claim purposes.That said, if such experiences keep up for subsequent visits and you are not comfortable with it, do consider kkh private or other private care that might be better
