This entry is long overdue…cos I simply have no energy to write..now feeling slightly better although still feeling nausea…I am pushing myself to sit in front of the computer to write.
My second visit was supposed to be on 26th May 2008 (Mon) @ 4pm.
But the flu virus got the better of me and having too much medications really had me worrying, so left with no choice but to bring forward my appointment with Dr Ong.
On 22nd May 2008 (Thurs) morning @ 11:00 am, I went ahead with my second appointment. As usual, my blood pressure and weight was measured. On one hand I am delighted that I have lost some weight as compared to my previous visits, but on the other hand, I am feeling worried that my foetus is not getting enough nutrients. The flu virus is the culprit lah…that’s why! Of all the time but now…why so unfortunate?
Anyway, as usual had a relatively long wait…for about 45 minutes..until I saw Dr Ong. Have to update him on the type of medications that I have been taking…and later on…he gave me…one more flu medication to nurse my flu and…the same advice….drinks lots of water …..shucks..!
After that, he did a scan for me…and this time round I could hear our lil’ one’s heartbeat….too bad daddy wasn’t around to see it…cos he was busy at work. Lil’ one ’s heartbeat is beating @ 170 beats/min., which is normal for a foetus at this stage.
Lil’ one was 7 weeks old at the time of visit and it was nice to know that it is growing..inside my uterus… It has grown to a size of about 1.53 cm…much more than the last visit.
Isn’t it amazing…just a couple of weeks back Lil’ one is only 5 mm in length and now it has triple in length…
Daddy was sad that he had missed seeing and hearing lil’ one’s heartbeat…but no worries daddy, you will get to see me on mammy’s next visit…yeah..?!
Ok, so the next visit has been scheduled on 23rd June 2008 (Mon) @ 3 pm. Next visit will involve the D.S test and as it will take a longer than usual time, I am expected to be there at 3 pm. Let’s hope that everything will be alright…and in the mean time, lil’ one continues to stay healthy and keep on growing….
