KKH Gynea Recommendation

Hello, as titled above, I need recommendation for a gynea at kkh as my previous gynea has left. I see a few similar threads here but they are outdated. I’ve also heard that now it is more difficult to get HL, based on a friend’s experience with Dr Suzanna who reject her need for HL at 36weeks, this year August. I was with Dr Lee Jiah Min previously. Though she was very generous with HL previously, I don’t think it’s the same now as when I met her at her private clinic this is what she told me, and I don’t want to pay the premium price without the assurance of HL later in my pregnancy seeing that my line of work is very demanding and as this is a repeated pregnancy, I’m sure my body will not be able to take it by the time my pregnancy progress. If you have any recommendations or advice please let me know! It will really help!

Hi! I totally understand your concern, HL policies do seem to have tightened compared to a few years back, and it's frustrating when you're relying on it for a demanding job, especially in your second pregnancy. From what I hear, a few gynaes at KKH are being stricter about HL now and won't issue it unless there's a genuine medical need or you're already admitted, so it's worth asking upfront during your first consultation rather than finding out later. The thing is, different doctors have different thresholds, so you might need to interview a couple before you find one whose approach matches what you need, some mums have had better luck asking explicitly about their HL criteria at the booking stage rather than waiting till late pregnancy. Since you're repeating and your body's likely to feel it more this time, it might be worth having that conversation early on: are they willing to support HL from a certain week onwards, or do they require medical grounds? That way you're not caught off guard like your friend was. A neighbour of mine switched gynaes mid-pregnancy for similar reasons and her new doctor was much more flexible, so it's definitely worth exploring your options rather than settling if the fit doesn't feel right. Wishing you all the best with finding someone who'll support your needs this time round!

Hello thank you for your reply! Do you happen to know your friend’s gynea?

are you intending to go for private or at subsidized route? i think this will alsp make a difference on the HL issurance.

I’m currently at private route with Dr Lee Jiah Min now but as I mentioned, I’m not sure if she will support HL later in the pregnancy due to the stricter policies now.
