12w 2 days
Feeling ~ touched
mummy decide to give myself a break and relieve the agony of having to face a crazy woman at work after all the mental torture & stress thus reporting sick.
juzt came back from Dr Adrain's for Medical Leave and at the same time clarify about the prenatal test tomorrow. We decide to visit him at about 11am as by this time time the crowd would have been cleared. It was a pretty short wait say 5 mins before mummy's turn come.
told Dr Adrain that I am feeling rather giddy this few days which he dismissed as normal, what's new! Took mummy's blood pressure and all is fine. His advice would be to have more rest and drink some Ribena? As we are preparing for the scan, spoke about NT & Oscar test at the same time. However we stop short of the conversation as soon as the scanning starts and he called out to daddy. Baby appear to have grown quite a bit and beautiful heartbeat blinking away furiously. This trip enable us to see Baby's little hand and little much clearer than the last visit. The sight of Baby's hand and feet in the air nearly brought tears to mummy, sudden overwhelmed with emotion!
Dr Adrain is advising Oscar for better accuracy as in accordance to my age, Amino is not necessary. The preference for NT & Oscar depends on individual mummy as some wish to know the risk and possibility of DS for their next course of action while some stayed firm with the decision to have the baby regardless of the circumstances.
As sudden as it is, Dr Adrain said since you are here now, might as well draw blood for his blood test which consists of Hep B, HIV etc. He clarified that this blood test would be different from the one tomorrow as the blood test for tomorrow is mainly for DS risk assessment. He is a very cool doctor and in a flash without much discomfort a full syringe of blood is drawn.
The Oscar result would be out by next Mon and his nurse will call us to inform about the results. Since I have seen him today, the next visit will be 2 weeks later. Meanwhile to continue another 1 more week of hormone pills. He assure that all looks good and well at this moment. He address mummy' concern about the pain in the tailbone as normal due to the womb's expansion thus the pressure causing the pain. As the pregnancy progresses, the pressure & pain will be on the lower back.
Surprisingly, there are no charges for the blood test today as it is included in the package. Mummy and daddy observe the printout of the scan and was puzzled at the gestation age of Baby as well as the size. It have been 10 days since last visit yet the age indicates 11weeks 5 days? Baby's size is 5.10cm which appear to be a little small thus mummy is a little concerned if Baby is growing well. We shall take a look at the results for tomorrow which might have better resolution and hopefully higher accuracy as his machine is a tad old. Mummy and daddy were grumbling that he should upgrade his ultrasound machine, the patients won't mind paying a tad more.
Over lunch, mummy brought up the topic that it did not occur to us untill earlier, what if the result came back not so favorable, what's next? Daddy only shaked his head and mummy had to ask what is the supposed meaning of shaking head. We both agree that for the sake of the kid, it's better to give it up due to numerous reasons especially down the long winding road.
Nah, it's just thinking out loud because mummy is very sure and strongly believe that our sweetie Baby will be healthy and passed the test with flying colors. Baby, you will cooperate with us tomorrow morning by helping to be in a favorable position so that all the necessary test could be conducted without a hitch. Mummy and daddy have confidence in Baby!
