Fourth gynae visit was yesterday 10 June 09. It was the first appointment i had without much waiting.
My tummy two days before the appointment. 17 plus weeks.
Summary of the checkout:
It wasn't as exciting as the previous visit as baby was sleeping most of the time, refusing to move even i coughed really hard. I also got back my OSCAR test results. The probabilities of all trisomy were even lower than what was calculated for my age. Guess it was all thanks to his daddy's good karma. Once again, my baby was sleeping upside down. It was almost unusual to not find him not doing headstand. This time he was in real deep sleep! The vibrations that Dr Wong made from the probe didn't even wake him up! I guessed my laksa made him very satisfied to nap so well.
The scan revealed a confirmed 'he' and yes we will be having a son. Ryker would be his name. He measured 12.9cm yesterday which was twice he was 5 weeks ago. My womb seemed to be too crampy for him to move. The only thing he moved throughout the scan was straightening his legs. Oh, we finally got to hear his heartbeat after so many months. It really sound like horse galloping! His little heart beats at 150bpm.
Oh, i have to mention my weight. I hit 60kg already! Gosh! Am supposed to gain only 1kg since last visit but i gained 2.4kg. =x Been feeling full very quickly after a meal and hungry after a while. I don't want to be a fat pig during my pregnancy! I hope to just keep in the range of 15kg weight gain.
Can you see his spine?
His right arm!
This is his face. Two eye sockets, chin and his left arm under the chin. It looked VERY much like skeleton. I tot it looked scary as well. Haha
Below is the video taken during the gynae checkup. It could be a little boring if you can't make up the parts of the baby. A pretty long video. You can hear my gynae say 'bird bird' alot of times haha.
