An Evening with Doctor J
Dr.J : So feeling better? Any bleeding? Any discharge?
Me : Yes. No..No..
Dr.J : So u can eat 3 meals a day now ya..
Me : Yes.
Dr.J : Well, you should be able to feel the movement of the baby by now. :) Yes?
Me : Yes. *smiling*
Hubby : Yeah, I can hear it. Quite a loud thud actually. *smiling*
Dr.J : Ok, let's do the ultrasound..
....
The screen showed a big round thing, first thing in my mind : water bag?
Dr.J : So this whole thing that u r seeing is the head of the baby. Here.
Me and Hubby : Huh?! Wow, baby is big now. * smiling again*
Dr.J moved the 'bb detector'...
Dr.J: Ok, see here, this is the heart. You can see the baby heartbeat is consistent. Fine line here separates the heart into 2 parts. The line is thick, so ok, baby has a good heart, no hole in the heart.
Me and Hubby : * relieved *
Dr.J : See here, this black dot over here? This is the kidney. The black mark shows that it is full of water, good.
Me and Hubby : I see...* relieved *
Dr.J : See this triangle over here?
Me and Hubby : (Both blur) Yeah, can see...err....(what is that?)
Dr.J : That is the nose of the baby...
Me and Hubby : I see..
Dr.J : Now below it, this thick white line over here ...see? It is his lips. So no breakline, and so no cleft lips..
Me and Hubby : I see.. * relieved *
Move, move, rub, rub.....
Dr.J : Have I told u the sex of the baby?
Hubby : Yes, u told us it is a boy.
Dr.J : Yes, see this v-shape thing, it is his thigh.
(I can see clearly of this, the thigh, so cute! Can't help but smile..)
Dr.J : Now see in between this? The clear big penis? So no mistake, it is a boy.
Dr.J : Everything seems fine. Your baby is now 21weeks old. Size is right. Let's check your weight now..
Me : ( "ug oh...no good !" )
Dr. J : Wow, u put on a lot! Have to take care of your diet. No more milk, no half boil eggs, no 'ka fan' or 'ka liu' (canto : add rice or extra helping). You know, an extra ounce on the baby could mean extra an hour or two in labour. And from now on, you will see yourself growing very fast, so just eat your normal portion of food. In between meals, if you feel hungry, just have fruits, ok?
Me : Ok ("Damn, it must be the extra food in Australia...!") *~pai seh~*
* * * *
We left the clinic feeling so relieved and thankful. Praise the Lord.
Finally I have the heart to do shopping for bb already..:)
Me : Yes. No..No..
