23rd June, Monday, 3.00 PM
Today we arrived slightly earlier and again…we have to wait. Patience is the essence of this whole visit or rather for the rest of our visits.
As we have been told that this visit we will be doing the DS test, which will take at least 30 mins. Hence, we were told to be early and so is our appointment time. Good thing…the appointment time was brought forward from 4 PM to 3 PM….thank goodness…here’s why.
Before each consultation, the nurse will measure my weight n BP and yes…I finally regain my weight and in fact I put on an all new 2kg! It’s strange…very seldom any woman has ever felt so delighted…in gaining weight…hahhaa…Well, I have been so sick that…I can hardly eat much..talk about anything that is nutritious. The moment I am on my road to recovery (although not completely yet) I started to eat as much nutritious food as my stomach can take it..or rather our lil’ one can take it.
After which the nurse…had to draw blood from me for the necessary lab. tests (Strange enough I didn’t get any ‘blue-black’ on the day or even the day after..butI just realised this morning that there’s a ’blue-black’ mark!). We waited for about 45 mins. before our turn to see our lil’ one…but it was a session that barely last 30 mins., as what we were told earlier.
We over heard that one of Dr Ong’s patients is undergoing labour and soon to deliver…and so…suddenly…our visit was cut short…alamak! That would means no long talk…which we normally…does…lor…and the moment we entered his room, he apologises to us. Well it’s alright for us…as long as he doesn’t compromise on the test procedure, and indeed he did a swift job. Soon enough…we got to see our lil’ one…again….and daddy was amazed by the image produced on the ultrasound machine…cos that was his first time seeing the lil’ heart pounding away…and also the super fast heart beat.
We are glad to hear that lil’ one is doing fine…so far..and the heart beat is beating like 164 beats/min. Lil’ one has grown much bigger…as compared to 5 weeks ago, in fact twice the length (CRL)…oh…by the way lil’ one is in the 12th week gestation period.
Daddy was so amazed by it…even until now….hahaha…..well..as for me…when I saw lil’ one…I didn’t feel as amazed as daddy..maybe perhaps…I have seen such stuff before…in books…and on the media..so maybe…I still don’t feel much a thing…as of now…maybe at the later stage bah.
As of now, I have yet to feel any fluttering-kind-of feeling within my almost-no-space uterus…maybe a few more weeks..I will be able to feel it. Nevertheless, lil’ one is very busy inside …I could see all the wriggling..and movements…through the ultrasound. We could also hear lil’ one’s racing heart beat…..we managed to caught it on the video…but I have some problem trying to upload it here…
Now..is the waiting game…will have to wait for the blood test results and if all is well…we will see Dr Ong again…in a month time.
