Mrs Big Prawn Head
This morning, me and hubby had a refreshing breakfast at Lucky Garden and were all in anticipation in meeting my new gynae for my 4 months check. Previously me and hubby were just too 'lazy' in a way, we went to a GP who did the first few months checking. She was ok, best of all, no waiting and her clinic is only 10 mins drive away.
Now, everything went well except for one thing, the doctor asked me to confirm my due date. I said end April. He was puzzled. He said the scan shows that the baby is at least 3 weeks bigger in size. Oh-o!! Now what? Am I going to have a gigantic baby? He continued to explain that we had missed the best time for him to gauge the 'age' of the fetus which is around 6 weeks old. GREAT! He continued professionally to explain that after that a lot of other factors come into play into affecting the size of the baby - genetic, food that I consumed etc etc etc. OK OK....my fault, so now I have 2 due dates.........almost 1 month apart!! Gulp!
As we were chatting over lunch, hubby asked me again when was my last period, I said July 15. He said again, 'Not the date you missed your period, I am saying the date of your last period....' My head started to spin, oh-o!! I immediately burst into laughters as the date I told both doctors were the date I MISSED the period, not my LAST period!! It was utterly BIG HEAD PRAWN of me!! The doctors must be scratching their head seeing the fact that the baby is HUGE!!
Now I missed the triple screen period, which kept me and hubby a bit agitated. But on the other hand, I am so so happy because I am actually almost 5 months into pregnancy, that means my weight is fine, my mysteriously big tummy misery is a history and I am looking forward to have my baby earlier in end of March instead!!! Wahahaha!! :)
