15W Heartbeat check up

Hi mummies. FTM here. I have my first 15w heartbeat check up at KKH later today. I'm a sub patient so may I ask if they would do an ultrasound to let me see baby too during the heartbeat check? I'm headed to Clinic C only today for the appointment today.

Oh congrats on your 15W appointment! From what I understand, at KKH sub-patient visits, the doctor typically does a routine scan at each consultation, so yes, you should get to see baby and check the heartbeat, position, and approximate growth, not just a quick listen with the Doppler. That said, the scan portion can be quite brief and clinical, so just go in with the expectation that the doctor will run through it fairly quickly rather than spending a long time showing you around. It is still really reassuring to see baby moving on screen, so enjoy that moment!
