Polyclinic/public hospital

Hi mummies, a few questions I have which hope you ladies can help: -How many weeks pregnant before you visited the polyclinic for referral? -how much time should I prepare to spend at the polyclinic? -From polyclinic to visit public hospital (NUH), how long was the wait? Days, weeks? -every visit to NUH (subsided), how long is the wait? Thank you!

1. I was about 6 weeks pregnant when I went to poly for referral to NUH. 2. Depends on the crowd. Your appointment will never be on time. Happened so many times already. 3. Also depends on the crowd. Mine was more than an hr then the referral was 4 weeks later. Also the best to see your baby (ultrasound) is 8 weeks & above! Got to see mine when I was 10 weeks+. 4. Roughly is 60 mins wait. They will send you an SMS if your q no. is next. Also they'll send your husband out as it can get way too crowded in the small clinic. For fetal care centre where you'lI go for your ultrasounds at a different building, also the same. Roughly about an hr wait. I gave birth there twice but overall the wait is better than KKH which is even longer (gave birth in KKH x3) cos the clinics are bigger than NUH so more patients.
