11 Jun 08 - My Sixth Visit - 19.3 Weeks

It is a Wednesday morning, we woke up as per working days to prepare our visit to the gynea. Today is not just a gynea visit, a detailed screening had been scheduled.

After my registration, we were asked to wait outside the screening room. I measured my weight, finally I had gained some weight and I am weighing 54.8kg. Once again the ultra sound screening is done by another doctor. A female doctor attended to me, everything went well at the beginning when she was unable to get the result she wanted. She started hitting and pressing harder on my tummy, she did apologies for the roughness and she got even more violent after that. She was trying to get a clearer view of my baby spine; however, my baby refused to turn to her back and lied still at her back. The doctor asked me to go for a 5 -10 minutes walk before continuing our screening. Even after the walk, the baby remained the same, the doctor asked me to lie on my side and true enough, the baby swim facing down. We do not understand the reason why she still keep hitting and pressing so hard. Hubby initially wants to tell her to stop but he did not. After half an hour, finally is over. What a relief, phew!!

The result shows that my baby is perfectly normal, everything organs are growing fine. We had been told the gender of my baby, guess what!! Is a gal!!! I sent an sms to my sister telling her that I am carrying a baby gal, she is very happy. She has actually guessed correctly that mine is a baby gal and she said gal gal is better than a boy.

We were unable to go back yet even after the screening, as we still had an appointment with my gynea. We waited almost 2 hours for the doctor as he is once again in the process of delivering a baby. We were very hungry as it is past noon; hubby went to the Mr. Bean stall to get some pan cakes and a glass of warm soya bean. Yum Yum!! After finishing our snack, the doctor was back. It only took less than 15 minutes in the gynea's room and everything is done.
