Can I see both a government clinic (KK) and a private doctor?<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, this is very common in Malaysia.

Why do I have to wait 4 weeks between visits?<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a low-risk pregnancy, significant changes generally take a few weeks to manifest.

Will my visit schedule be different?<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes. Being 35 or older is categorized as &#8220;Advanced Maternal Age.&#8221; Your doctor may suggest more frequent screenings, earlier GTT tests for diabetes, and potentially more regular ultrasounds to monitor placental health.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>6.
