Went for dating scan in KKH and the nurse said it’s KKH protocol to not play the sound. But just show the flickering heartbeat.. why so?

After vaginal ultra sound, no sac found... had heavy bleeding too. Anyone exp this? Week5

It would have most likely been an etopic pregnancy. Did you consult your gynae on the bleeding

Private choice at Thomson

Hi! I'm a first time mummy to be and I am thinking hard about which route to go. I thought I would try Thomson Medical for my birth and wanted to ask how is the cost for mummies that gave birth there? I also plan to go to Dr Wong (clinic in tampines) if you have any experience I'd be so grateful to read your thoughts and advices

I delivered at Thomson with my first and found it quite pricey overall, though the facilities are really nice and the staff were attentive. For costs, it really depends on whether you go with a consultant obstetrician or the hospital team, and what package you choose, I'd recommend calling their billing department directly to ask for a breakdown because prices vary quite a bit depending on your delivery type and any complications. As for Dr Wong in Tampines, I haven't personally been to that clinic, but a few friends have mentioned their GPs there are thorough, though you'd still need to decide later on where you want to deliver. I think the best move is to clarify Thomson's exact costs first since that's your main concern, then you can weigh whether it fits your budget before committing to a consultant there.

Is it possible?

I took 3 preggy test... First said positive then second said negative then lastly said positive... All is digital test. Went to the doctor and he said not pregnant and he said it may be too early to detect.. Do you think I could be pregnant or not pregnant? P. S. The digital test states "pregnant 1-2"

Honestly this sounds so stressful, I would trust your doctor's assessment more than the home tests at this point since he's examined you properly. Digital tests can be finicky and give false positives or negatives depending on timing, urine concentration, and how early you are, so those conflicting results aren't unusual. If your doctor says it's too early to detect properly, it might be worth going back in a week or so for a blood test which is more reliable, or just waiting a bit longer and retesting then, rather than driving yourself mad with the home tests now. The "pregnant 1-2" on a digital is meant to be a dating thing (like weeks since conception) so that alone doesn't mean much if the test is giving inconsistent results across the three sticks.

Should i take private or not private in KKH?

Its my first pregnancy.. im not sure what to do and currently im scared of the financial part too.. but ome thing is i really want ward A tho because of the privacy... I need some advice and whether anyone knows about the financial part or what kind of payment is used too... Like medisave or upfront cash or smtg... 😵‍💫#firsttime

You can get a referral letter to KKH for Sub then later on at 30wk+ u can op to change to private . The birth costs will be according to ward rates. So at least for check up can save some $

Full private (mount A) vs public private (KKH)

I have been seeing my gynae for about 3 years now, and been through cyst removal ops last year. Gynae is very experienced and swift, assuring which comforted me and my husband alot, so we trust him. However, with the pregnancy now, he is too expensive, hence, am considering kkh private. Anyone can share the pros and cons, along with the costs incurred? Thank you!#help_mom #firsttimemom

I totally understand wanting to stay with someone you trust, especially after going through surgery with them. The thing is, KKH private is quite a bit cheaper than a full private gynae, and their doctors are really experienced too since they handle so many deliveries, but you do lose that continuity of care and the same doctor won't necessarily be there on the day you deliver. My friend switched from her private gynae to KKH private midway through and she said the trade-off was worth it cost-wise, though she did miss seeing the same person each time. I'd suggest calling KKH private to get their exact fees and asking your current gynae if he can refer you or if there's a way to stay with him for key appointments while doing routine scans at KKH, since some people do a hybrid approach. What matters most to you between cost, continuity, and that peace of mind factor?
