I head that closer to the due date we will need to visit the gynae more often to check heartbeat and weight every 2 weeks?
How often do u visit your gynae when u reach 3rd trimester??
- Thread starter Evangeline89
- Start date
when u r 32 weeks you will ask to visit the gynae every 2 weeks, and weekly check-up from 36 weeks onwards.
after the detailed scan the gynae just monitor the heartbeat till 36 weeks . 36th weeks had 1 ultrasound scan to check both heartbeat and weight. The rest is just monitor the heartbeat till the day i gave birth, gynae never check cervix at all. I was told any sign of labor (water bag burst, red discharge or contaction) just head to hospital.

usually once every fortnight from 32/33 weeks onwards. but it also depends on the pregnancy. i was asked to go every week and by 33/34 weeks, i went every other day...

I was at kkh too and I didn't get to see gynae v often... U see, I felt bad about taking leave to see gynae then.
First time was a referral fro polyclinic , to confirm size and to find out edd.
Second was routine check, plus get appointment for detail scan. At this appointment, I decided to go to
Private suite... Nurse told me to be smart. Go detail scan first in the morning under subsidized rate. After lunch, bring the file to see specialist.
3rd appointment, detail scan plus first time seeing specialist.
4th time around28 weeks preg.
Reschedule my 32 week appointment then end up hospitalized at 33 weeks. Best part, gynae didn't show up at the ward cos mine was 5 bedded, kkh got this special rule... 5 bedded and lower classes, gynae don't show up.
5th appt ard 34 weeks, she told me can go back work, but end up in hospital next day. Home rest and finally delivered at 36 weeks n 6 days.... Gynae walked in but I rejected her services and saved a lot of money.
So is it so important to see a gynae?

It is important to me, not sure about others, every appt I went it's a chance to see my baby, even it's just a monitor but the joy is money can't buy, dun mention about the scan pic I collected from first appt, made a album for them and with both me and Hubby thoughts can show her when she grow up.
I'm not saying must see a gynae but by seeing a gynae and exchange with peace of mind, I don't mind paying all the charges, and when I need help I know I can always call and my gynae is there for me

True lah, it's really case by case. I was blessed to have an easy pregnancy. Just my luck to have paid more but didn't get a good gynae
