hi there! just wanted to check what other mummies experience during their prenatal check-ups as im a little concerned if i am being overlooked by the doctor that im seeing.
some background information:
34w5d
first time mum
gg the subsidised route at nuh but only doing scans there, any follow-up appointments are done at jurong medical centre (jmc)
did a blood test that says im at risk for pre-eclampsia so i have been monitoring my blood pressure daily and taking aspirin every night too.
during my last growth scan, they mentioned that my baby is small and at 32w1d, his estimated weight was at 1600g only.
just went for my appointment at jmc today and i thought i would be able to see baby and get an estimate of his weight so i know that im eating right to help him grow but, doctor refused to check his weight. all he did was scan to get a visual of baby's heart beating, played the audio for 3 seconds then said "okay, good". couldnt even get a proper view of my baby😭 and when i asked if we could check baby's estimated weight, he said "ill check during the our last visit, im not going to check the weight everytime" 😒 i waited over half an hour for an appointment that lasted less than 5minutes with my queries left unanswered 🤷 and the clinic was not busy as there was only 1 mummy after me.
any similar experiences? and i would appreciate any advice for me. thank you! (:
