Ask for recommendations from other expat women who have had a baby in Singapore. If possible, you should make at least one trip over to Singapore to meet the doctor in advance to see if you are a good fit. Good opportunities for check-ups in Singapore are roughly around 12 weeks, 16 weeks and 20 weeks, which coincide with certain prenatal tests. This also gives you a chance to take a tour of the maternity ward of the hospital where you would deliver.
Choosing your hospital is more dependent on your doctor, as your doctor will likely have privileges at only one hospital. Both Mount Elizabeth and Glen Eagles hospitals offer maternity ward tours once a week; contact them directly to find out what day and time. Time your doctor’s appointment for the same day as the tour.
The earlier you make your initial trip to Singapore, the earlier you can change doctors/hospitals if you aren’t sure that you’ve got a good match.
