Pre-Pregnancy, Pregnancy Check-up & Antenatal Package Singapore
Bringing a new life into the world is a beautiful journey that requires careful planning and regular medical check-ups. Whether you are trying to conceive or are already expecting, understanding the ins and outs of pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, and antenatal check-ups is crucial.
Why is pre-pregnancy, pregnancy & antenatal check-up important?
Pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, and antenatal check-ups are essential in safeguarding the health of the mother and the developing baby. These proactive measures increase your chances of a healthy pregnancy and a safe delivery. These check-ups help to:
- Pinpoint any underlying health conditions that could affect pregnancy.
- Guide necessary lifestyle changes to prepare for pregnancy.
- Monitor the baby's development and the mother's health throughout the pregnancy.
- Identify and address complications that may arise during pregnancy.
Pre-pregnancy Check-up
A pre-pregnancy check-up, also known as a preconception check-up, is conducted before a couple starts trying to conceive. The goal is to evaluate the health of the prospective mother (and sometimes the father) to ensure that she is in the best possible condition to conceive and carry a pregnancy to term.
When is the best time to schedule a pre-pregnancy check-up?
The best time to schedule a pre-pregnancy check-up is at least three to six months before you start trying to conceive. This period gives ample time for your healthcare provider to assess your overall health, recommend necessary vaccinations, and advise on lifestyle changes that could improve your chances of conceiving.
What is the cost of a pre-pregnancy check-up?
The cost of a pre-pregnancy check-up in Singapore depends on the range of tests included. A comprehensive pre-pregnancy check-up package can cost between SGD 300 and SGD 1000.
What tests are included in the pre-pregnancy check-up?

Urine tests: To detect any underlying urinary tract infections or kidney issues.
