week 14 scan

Well,

I had planned to see the gynae at night, but since Tuesday 4 pm, I have this migraine that kept going on & on.. even now..

Wednesday morning, I cannot tahan liaoz.. see the gynae for medication, MC and push forward my visit...

Found out that my blood glucose is too high... I have to cut down my sugar intake now, and 2 weeks later to come back for a glucose test that will take 2 hrs.

We then did a scan..I closed my eyes for an instant, fearful of anything unexpected.. but all was ok, baby was moving n waving around.. this time around, we can see its spinal cord.. and it has grown much bigger..7.61cm.. the baby is still curled up, and Dr. Chandras was not able to measure the neck.. so he gave up eventually... We kept peering at the image, trying to see if boy or gal.. but.. can't see much leh.. Andy thought he saw something, which i later realise was the baby's spinal tail and not the likes that indicate it is a boy..

Hmm, they say, if it is a boy, it will be detected earlier.. so, maybe this time it is a gal?? aiyah.. dunno lah..

i did not do the triple test yet.. Dr. informed us that the test is 90% accurate, but it might have false positives and lead us to do more pre-natal testing like the amniostesis (which carries a 1% risk of miscarriage). He point out that at my age, I have a low chance actually of having a Down's syndrome baby.. The test will cost 100sgd.. anyway, 2 weeks later, while doing the glucose test, we will then do the triple test..

One more visit after that will be the detailed scan.. hope all is fine... my head is still pounding.. haiz.. nearly fainted juz now in my boss's room.. think i stand too long..

This coming sunday will be our 1st trial yoga lesson.. looking forward to it.. feeling so stiff in my lower back..
