Weight

17 weeks 7 days
weight ~ unsure

went to see dr woody on fri because of the intermittent pain as mentioned in the earlier post. reached there at about 11.20am and clinic is empty.

as usual the same greeting statement and before mummy's bum can settle on the seat, whisked off for the ultrasound scan when complaining about the pain. Mummy make a mental note to request for the ultrasound printout which was not given the last 2 scans to be assured of Baby's growth (note: no names mentioned as indecisive as yet).

we were shown Baby's head, tummy and heartbeat and dr woody asked about last mentioned EDD. If we remembered correctly, one of the measurement in the scan reflect the dimension of Baby's tummy as daddy as if he's measuring a round thingy as 'head' but he replied tummy.

Guess he forgot about our gender identification last visit as he asked again if we wish to know the gender. Mummy was jokingly suggesting that daddy isn't very convinced that it's a BOY. He took a while to locate the legs which mummy roughly figure out and pointed to a white little thingy again announcing 90% to be a BOY. Poor daddy must be really disappointed.




wat we managed to figure out from the scan, FW = Foetal weight? 236g
AC = ? (assumed it's previously known as CRL - crown rump length) 13.7cm
FL = ? (maybe the measurement of tummy?) 2.5cm

as for the numerous dates reflected in line with the measurements, no single idea what it is all about, guess the most accurate EDD will be known over our detailed scan mid Sep 08.

he assured that it's normal to have pain & cramps so no cause for alarm. When asked if I required a medical certificate, told him that mummy is jobless and he asked with interest and concern. He suggested to sue mummy's ex-company but we were saying that I'm under probation thus they have the excuse not to confirm as well. he's suggesting to work for the govt body as they for sure can't show discrimination of any kind.

next visit will be a month later....oh how long can that be...mummy's neck can grow longer than that of a giraffe waiting to see Baby again!
