Obstetrics
Pregnant women require specialized care to ensure that their health and the health of their babies are well taken care of. Obstetrician Dr Christopher Ng is adept in managing high-risk pregnancies and provides a comprehensive suite of services to best care for maternal and foetal health issues.
In Singapore, good obstetric care involves offering a range of prenatal diagnostic tests to screen for abnormal baby development, risk of certain genetic disorders, as well as the presence of any condition that could adversely affect maternal health (e.g. gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia). This ensures that the appropriate treatment measures are made promptly to achieve a safe and favourable pregnancy outcome.
Apart from walking hand in hand with our patients throughout their pregnancy journey in Singapore, obstetrician Dr Christopher Ng encourages discussing birth plans well before birth, so that he can match what’s safe and feasible with his patients’ individual desires as far as possible to achieve their perfect birthing experience.
Our pregnancy clinic is dedicated to providing comprehensive care and guidance throughout your pregnancy journey. From prenatal check-ups and medical treatment, to lifestyle recommendations and birth planning, we ensure that mother and baby are well taken care of up until birth and even the postpartum period.
Amniocentesis and Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) are prenatal diagnostic tests offered at our obstetrics clinic. They are performed to detect certain chromosomal abnormalities and genetic disorders in the foetus. Amniocentesis is typically performed in the second trimester whereas CVS is typically performed in the first trimester.
Our clinic is equipped with modern imaging technology to provide clear 3D and 4D ultrasound scans. This allows for detailed visualisation of the foetus, which aids in the early identification of any anatomical abnormalities that may be present; as well as offering parents-to-be an exciting peek at what their baby might look like.
The One-Stop Clinic for Assessment of Risk (OSCAR) is a comprehensive first-trimester screening to assess the risk of chromosomal abnormalities in the foetus. This involves the use of maternal blood tests and ultrasound scans; and can identify the risk of conditions like Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, Patau syndrome, and more.
A foetal anomaly scan is an ultrasound examination performed between the 20th and 24th weeks of pregnancy to detect any structural abnormalities in the foetus. Our experienced sonographer and obstetrician in Singapore will perform this scan with meticulous attention to detail and provide clear explanations of their findings.
Creating a personalised birth plan and ensuring a safe and supportive delivery for our patients is extremely important to us. Our obstetrician works closely with expectant mothers to tailor safe and meaningful birth plans through open, honest and compassionate discussions.
NIPT is a sensitive prenatal screening that allows for the early detection of certain chromosomal abnormalities through a maternal blood test. This non-invasive test is a safer alternative to invasive diagnostic procedures and can be conducted as early as the 9th week of pregnancy.
The foetal wellbeing assessment comprises several tests which are used to assess the health and development of the foetus. This includes assessing the growth, movement, and cardiac health of the foetus; and can be performed between the 24th and 41st weeks of pregnancy.
