I went for my week 16 scan on last sat.. (18/03/2006). Was so nervous, as I was scheduled to take the glucose test, and draw blood for testing before & after the glucose test (Total of 3 tubes!! arrghhh!! The nurses almost cannot find a vein to strike at..!!)
We did a scan after that and baby was awake! The moment the gynae pressed on the tummy, the baby kicked against it and I felt it!! Hm, that confirms that the last few days' feelings were not imagined.. I was wondering if it was juz gas in my intestines & tummy..
AK was as usual filming down the scan.. I ask Dr. to see if he can detect whether it is a girl or a boy.. but guess what? baby was sitting cross legged!! As if its attempting a yoga pose.. :) And that pose, hides its genitals.. but the gynae said tentatively that he cannot see anything between the legs, so it is likely to be a girl, but the next detailed scan which is during my week 20, will reveal more details.
We were really happy to see baby again.. and that I can feel the baby now..its kicks are getting stronger.. but we were still worried about the blood glucose test results.. hope all is fine..
Today, Dr. called us and informed us that the triple test (for Down's syndrome) revealed very low possibility for Down's syndrome and my glucose levell is 99 after fasting and before ingesting the glucose.. after the glucose ingestion, the reading stand at 110, which means I have cleared it!! YAY!!
So relieved leh.. :D
