I came from Sydney and had my daughter there. The first O&G visit and U/S is usually booked at 10 - 12w. For me, my GP has written a letter for me to have U/S in 7w, as I was worried about miscarrage (I was on holiday when i got pregnant and I've done lots of dangerous activities). At the end I had an internal U/S as baby was too small, and it detected baby heartbeats. Maybe you can ask your GP to write you another referral?
Under normal situation, the second U/S is done in week 19. Very different to HK O&G, they don't do anymore U/S unless there are problems with the baby (eg. too big, risk of miscarrage, etc.). I think you can ask your O&G or GP to write referrral letters if you want additional U/S to be done. You will need to pay for these U/S out of pocket as Medicare only covers the 12w and 19w scans.
Thank you so much for your advices. I am planning to back to HK for a trip of 3 weeks. Do u think that it is better for me to do Amniocentesis test or other checking in HK coz I am already 38? Moreover, I become tired about the complicated and inefficiency of AU Medical treatments.
